Renowned Giceiver!

Since this category has to do with individuals or situations we have witnessed that inspire us to Giceive, as a prime example I want to start with someone just about everyone knows.  For a quarter of a century, I have watched this beautiful lady help millions of people by her giving. She has blessed others from her own abundance, but her giving goes beyond that.  I feel she has helped many of us mature, overcome problems, seek help, let go of prejudices, not feel alone in a situation, find our passion…and the list goes on!  You may have guessed that this person is Oprah.  When she is giving and I see her expression, I can see the immediate receiving, which she calls “joy rising.”  That joy is also immediately transmitted to me.  What a gift!  I remember watching the Christmas she went to South Africa and gave gifts to thousands of children.  Joy was everywhere and I cried at the sight of it, feeling so blessed to be part of the experience!  Now she has a life class where she shares those times when joy was rising within her, perpetuating her Giceiving and ours.  Bless you, Oprah!
