Totally agree...and I am glad for you that your value is being recognised!

Valuing ourselves, and what have to offer to others, is one of those really important qualities that is often overlooked in many of our modern societies where everyone knows the price of everything but the value of nothing!

And, for me, your second point of matching YOUR values with both your own spirit and that of another person is also well made. Maybe the old hippies weren't so far off when they told us to tune in to the vibes, man! 😊
