		<title>CELEBRATING WHAT&#8217;S GOOD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  “How do we keep our inner fire alive? Two things, at minimum, are needed: an ability to appreciate the positives in our life – and a commitment to action. Every day, it’s important to ask and answer these questions: ‘What’s good in my life?’ and ‘What needs to be done?’” &#8211; Nathaniel Branden    [...]]]></description>

		<title>FEEDING ONE HUNDRED, OR JUST ONE.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Within a few minutes, I am told that a few feet away from where we stand is the room in which Mother Teresa slept whenever she was in Rome. My heart skips a beat. Then, without another word we shuffle into a little room where time seems to have stopped. There is the smallest of beds, a table, and lamp, and a few other meager items but I am completely spellbound to be standing in her private space. The room is so small that you could stretch out your arms and touch each side of the room. “The room,” I am told, “is kept just the way Mother used it.” I reach over and run my hand along her bed and her pillow. I begin to experience what can only be described as ecstasy. However, I try to contain myself.]]></description>

		<title>GENEROUSLY SHUTTING MY MOUTH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, a breakthrough in generosity means withholding bitter words as they burn on your tongue. My grandmother always says, “If you see a fool and a wise man arguing on the street corner, the casual passerby can not tell which is which.”]]></description>

		<title>FAMELESS &amp; FORTUNELESS!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You think when you write a book that potentially you may make money or achieve fame like James Patterson or Jonathan Frazen. You have dreams of being on the New York Times bestseller list or in Oprah’s book club. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Both have escaped Cindy (my co-author) and me [...]]]></description>

		<title>What does the Power of Half have to do with Generosity? Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This November, I read an amazing book I couldn’t wait to tell you about called, The Power of Half:  One Family’s Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back by Kevin and Hannah Salwen.  The Salwen family’s journey into giving began after their 14 year old daughter Hannah saw a homeless man on one side [...]]]></description>

		<title>JUST BEING PRESENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A breakthrough in generosity, my dears, begins and ends with you. So easy it is, during this season, to rush around purchasing, buying, accumulating that we scarcely remember the reasons why we are so occupied in the first place. Personally, I detest holiday shopping. Not because I don’t relish purchasing and exchanging gifts (actually quite the opposite) but more so because there seems to be an air of absent-mindedness wrapped around the whole of these activities...or in other words, we’re not present while buying all those presents.]]></description>

		<title>DON&#8217;T FORGET YOU!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time of year our thoughts easily turn to giving. We think about giving to our family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers in the form of gifts, presents, or time. However, have you ever really stopped to consider your policy of generosity towards yourself? Or, come to think about it, do you have a policy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gratitude for Simple Acts of Kindness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to share my gratitude for a simple act of kindness that happened to me over a year ago.   I had been having a very tough week and one particular day felt very down.  I went to the grocery store and didn&#8217;t feel like talking to anyone or really even being there.  Then, the [...]]]></description>
