Dear Joanne --
I know the $$$$ probably seem excessive but let me explain. the last few years I have given to certain members of my family gifts valued at about $150 to $200 apiece -- this is too much. I have tried to keep up with her spending style and I simply can't and won't any more as mostly what I select isn't valued anyway.
So it is a wonderful gift to me to send this money to Tias Arms where it can do so much.
I have also always spent about $1000 apiece on my kids. No more. They are all adults now. Before when they were struggling it was a way to help them with things they needed and couldn't buy. Now my support is no longer needed. So, I cut their gifts in half and gave you the rest.
Thus -- $2000 and this without even touching the $$$ I usually give to charities.
Amazing when I write all this out.
I have been traveling all over the LA and Orange counties since I saw you so have not written you until now. But I carry you and Tias Arms in my heart. This was truly the best thing I have done this season and now that I have done it I plan to continue to wean my friends and family off gifts and send it all your direction.
I think this is the greatest gifting I could imagine for myself. It has brought the true spirit of Christmas home to my heart.
I has such a wonderful morning with you! You are a blessing in my life and I look forward to spending many such times with you.
Much love, peace and blessings,
Linda

Joanne -- Here it is almost a month later and I still feel the same way. It was such a blessing for you and Tias Arms to come into my life at this time. Another step in the ongoing process of reshaping my life to live my integrity.
