Are You a Philanthropist?

Are you a philanthropist? A generous giver?

               When you walk past a street busker, do you toss a loonie or a toonie in their case?

               Have you ever paid it forward in the line at Tim Horton’s?

Generosity Day - Rebranding Feb. 14!

Well ... it's about time!   I stumbled across this idea on facebook today - and it's a good one I think! 

 

Can we make Feb 14 about more than just romantic Valentine love?  Can we show our love in countless ways through intentional acts of generosity to all we encounter?

 

The background story is pretty cool - here's a link with that and lots of great ideas too - http://www.spreadgenerosityday.com/history1

Couple Gives Away Over $11 Million

Just read this article thie morning. You have to admire people who realize that they have enough and don't need anymore, so they give the excess away.  It was a good story to start the day with!
