There's something you don't know about me. I'm an angel.....a Blog Angel that is. I've secretly been a Blog Angel since June 1st. This means that I've been helping and encouraging another fellow blogger without them knowing. Honestly, I have to say that it was very difficult for me at first. Not only was it hard to keep it a secret, I also feared I wasn't doing enough. At first, I thought my mystery blogger and I didn't have a lot in common, so sometimes, I felt like I didn't know how to give without being able to relate or connect.
My Wings
And as the start of June quickly rolled into mid June, I found myself freaking out. I desperately tried to think outside the box. How can I help this person beyond the comments and follows? How can I reach out without giving myself away? What can I do to move them forward?
What I realized was that giving is hard.....especially when you have to do it secretly and without any expectations.
But as I went on my blogger's site every few days, I learned more and more about this person.... Their likes, dislikes, passions, hates and wants. And one day, it hit me. Giving isn't always something tangible that you create and press send. It can also be the act of holding space or sharing your time with that person. Above all, giving is allowing that person to be seen without anything in return.
