You wouldn't be able to force it on her--she would leave it sitting on the sidewalk and walk away from it. But if you instead silently opened your heart in love to the first woman, that she could walk away from and it would still reach her energetically. The gift basket is moot.

Thank you for giving us that lovely basket of goodness in this very post. I do think that reveling in my desires really does begin with permission... yes, I do deserve to have those desires met! It becomes such a delicious experience to begin hunting them down, and have these wonderful desires come into fruition. Operating from a place of abundance, and being the "gift basket giver", is just as enjoyable as receiving and actually increases the bounty that you have to give. Best deal ever. When I start to feel dragged down, and a bit scarce in my life, I have found that a certain quote from Mother Teresa helps me get back up on the bounty train... "never let anyone come to you without coming away better and happier." Just wanted to share that, as it works for me everytime. THANK YOU for yet another wonderful, insightful post!!

I use them in my own life frequently and they are, IMO, right on target. I have also noticed for me the first key piece in all of this was to give myself permission to ask for what I want and then to also give myself permission to feel the desires that I genuinely have. We all have needs -- it's just a matter of how in touch with them we are. Thanks for sharing! :) love these very practical steps.
