Multi-Giving

It's easy to let the day get away from you.. One task leads to another and all of a sudden you've skipped from your morning coffee to the end of the day and you're just too wiped out to do that extra something you've been saying you'd do all week. This is my extra something. So I've decided to start multi-giving (derived from the more commonly used multitasking).

As a nonprofit professional and self-proclaimed philanthropist I like I believe I live in a constant state, or spirit, of giving. But I would like to refocus my energy, improve my productivity and recommit myself to this blog and my greater goal of (hopefully) inspiring a little giving in the world around me.

Fortunately, I am blessed with a pretty wonderful sea of givers around me who constantly inspire and share with me. So I would like to dedicate these next few posts to all of you who uplift and remind me that compassion, humility, entrepreneurship and philanthropy are not merely ideas from yesteryear but rather the ideals that make up the great minds of tomorrow.

And with that, a little inspiration via a fellow friend and giver...

"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness... Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost." -- The Great Dictator
