Throughout my childhood, and into middle age, people who gave back through to the community surrounded me. I never understood the philosophy. My parents tried hard to instill in me the concept of charitable giving, but truly, giving did not come as free will, rather it was done out of a sense of obligation.

I have learned much about giving in the last few years.

Giving and how we give is a purely personal choice… It may be as simple as helping a neighbor, giving to charity, or spreading good will with a smile or a complement. You never know when a simple act of kindness on your part can mean a great deal in the life of someone.

Giving back often has its own rewards –frequently not evident at the time – but creating a ripple affect that spreads out far beyond our expectations.

Now I understand giving. Giving is not the act of expecting something back. How I give is not limited to one thing. I give money, my self, my time, and my heart.

I give because it makes my heart sing. I give from my heart.



"Most times, we think that we don't have anything to give. Yet, if

we look more closely, we'll see that even the little we have could be

shared with others. Let us not wait for a time when we think we'll

have lots and then we'll give. By giving and sharing the little we

have, we open up the storehouse of the universe and permit rivers of

good to come our way." John Harricharan


May you live the life of your dreams
