"Dear Mom and Dad, about my leaves, I gave them all away, because that's what you do with gifts." - The Odd Life of Timothy Green

I watched this movie in its entirety for the first time today. This line, here at the end, paused me. Made me ask, what gifts am I not sharing. Or, better yet, isn't this the opportunity that this whole internet world gives us? The opportunity to share our gifts with the world. Doesn't seem that, as I try to think of ways to make money I know my gifts anymore. When I was young I was told I had the gift of gab, but it was said in stuff a negative connotation that I learned to reign it in. Once upon a time I was a poet, a rapper. I loved that gift, but it too seems to have subsided. But for the occasional slip up, I don't seem to be as creative in that aspect as I once was, or loved. Now, my biggest gift seems to be my imagination, though it had faded up until I put in the work to tap back into it. Had to let go of a lot of negative energy to do it, but my desire to be my imaginative self is one of the main reasons I was so attracted to the Law of Attraction as a spiritual practice. I can imagine, on a daily basis, a whole life aside from the one that I'm living. But what good is it if I take no action to even try to bring my imaginary life to fruition. After all, it doesn't have to stay imaginary does it? That's what the law of attraction has said. I don't know how long it takes to manifest, but I love, love, love my imaginary life. And my dream life. Cause dreams are sources gifts to us right. Something that's given for us to appreciate and learn from.

Anyhoo, this movie, and this line in particular touched my heart and now, all of a sudden, I have the most compelling desire to get in touch with my gifts, grow them and shed/share them. Not a New Year's resolution, but a life revelation. That's all.

Happy New Year!!
