I had started a post on Giving…and created a terrific list of ways to make a difference.  Then a fellow blogger, posted this terrific post on my page and I loved it so much – I thought I’d share it instead.

I realized that one of the things I’d do after reading her post, was search for others with great comments on giving and share their words too. Sharing is also giving, right? Okay, I confess, I saw no reason to reinvent what others said much better than I could. That’s probably more laziness than anything, right? Ha.

So, here’s a post on giving that not only makes recommendations but talks about the art of giving. One of my favorite parts of this particular article points out that so many people intend to give more when they “have more and can afford it”. The reality is that when you have more funds, you usually also have more expenses. Just go for it.

And here’s one more…I particularly liked this one because it pointed out something that I feel strongly about. Giving to others, especially anonymously, provides a monumental benefit to the giver as well in internal satisfaction. Here’s a quote:

One of life’s most basic laws is “every single act of love, kindness and generosity will multiply and return to you many times over “. The more you give the happier you will feel.

Today is your day to give…any way you can. I guarantee you will feel better for doing so.

Oh, and let me know how it went!
