There's this guy who invented fire. And as soon as he invented the art of making fire, He goes up to the north where you have these hill tribes shivering in the cold and he begins to teach them the art. And he shows them the value of being able to be warm in the winter, Cooking their food, It would help with their buildings. And they learned enthusiastically. They had hardly learned it when he went somewhere else, He didn't even give them time to thank him because he was a great man. And you know, Great people, They're not bothered about being remembered, They're not bothered about being thanked. They want your good.

Just what I was thinking about having just finished an abundance meditation where I agree that I have abundance and I want to give it to others who want it and who would them very well as I did to give to the next person should they eventually want to share from their abundance.
I don’t need pats on my back for doing it but I don’t want my beautiful things thrown away either which I have seen too often. Which made me reluctant to share with others but I get back to my abundance and I have too much abundance that needs to be shared for them to be of use to others. Blessings to all. Warmly,
Anne
