In my last post I discussed a gift I received. I was grateful, humbled, and I will always appreciate it.

That gesture was a reminder of how much I enjoy the act of giving as well. It doesn’t have to be monetary – it can be giving time to your community, a kindness, even mentoring.

What are some of the organizations you give to? One that I love is Kiva. Kiva is a wonderful non profit which lends funds to low income entrepreneurs and students through crowdfunding. Knowing I can play a small part in someone getting their start is so rewarding.

The greatest gift of giving? The way it makes us feel.

Think about some ways you can give back to your community. Not just this month, but all year round. See how inspired you remain through this generous act.
