When the Heart Wants To Give

Before the day gathers its pace, before your mind begins sorting what must be done and what must be held back, I want to speak to something tender — something you may have felt stirring quietly within you.

There are moments when your heart leans forward.
Not loudly. Not dramatically.
Just a nudge — a feeling that says, Give.

And so often, the mind rushes in behind it.
Do they deserve this?
Can I afford it?
What if it isn’t received well?
What if I’m already too tired, too stretched, too full?

Some days, those questions are wise.
There are times when you truly cannot give — when your own spirit needs tending, when your resources are thin, when your peace must be protected. And honoring that is not selfishness; it is care.

But then there are other moments — quieter ones — when you can give, and your heart knows it before you do.
And when you stop yourself in those moments, when you tighten against the offering that wanted to move through you, something aches afterward. Not because you were wrong — but because your heart was ready, and you told it no.

Giving is not about deserving.
It’s about alignment.

Sometimes the gift is tangible — a note, a kind word, time, presence, generosity you didn’t plan on.
Sometimes it’s intangible — forgiveness, softness, patience, grace.

And sometimes, yes… the person may never deserve it.
But your heart did.

When your heart wants to give — and you can — allow it.
Let the offering move. Let it leave your hands without needing a receipt, an outcome, or a guarantee.

You were never meant to calculate kindness to the penny.
You were meant to live in rhythm with your own compassion.

If today brings you one of those moments — where your heart nudges and the mind hesitates — pause. Breathe. Check in gently.
And if the answer is yes, I can — allow yourself give.

Peace flows more freely when we don’t block it at the source.
