I saw a post today that mentioned the concept of “give well.”  It mentioned Kolette Hall, scrapbook instructor and artist, talking about the importance of wrapping gifts.  Sounds like someone I should read more about.  Especially if she could help me accomplish this, as she promised, in two hours or less!

It reminds me of a book I once read about French women sitting down to eat meals (meals consisting of food that they bought or grew and cooked themselves) as the key to staying slim.  Now, Kolette is teaching us that the key to gift giving is to prepare an actual, bonafide gift.  Eat food.  Give gifts.  Tell jokes.  Write letters.  All these are shocking in their simplicity! 

Being purposeful doesn’t have to take a lot of time, and has wonderful side benefits.  I encourage you to find ways to give well!
