Today's reflection is about giving so that others can give: Day 63

As I work with a team of women preparing to return to Ghana I have really been moved by the outpouring of support and generousity that the team is experiencing. And while the team will not be the final benefeciaries of the support, the generousity and confidence of others is really hitting home. People who want to be part of something bigger than themselves, who want to know they are having a meaningful impact...that is what this is about...being part of something. To make this work we need all parts of the puzzle together which is a pretty big task - but this group is up to it. So if you want to be part of something and know you will be making an impact - support someone who is making it happen.

Giving Fatigue?

The post from Day 60  in 100 Days of Giving is apt for today, so I have decided to reproduce the entire post here today...

Day 60 ❦ Giving fatigue strikes

The Gift: None

Today giving fatigue hit. I could have inserted an interlude, an idea, an inspiration, but I really want this to be real. Today I gave nothing. The long term impact of the flood has begun to sink in, I have just spent a week in my old home-town and am finding myself homesick. I am searching for a fulfilling job and am not finding it...and for the past 59 days I have been intensely focused on giving and today - I am given out. That's all I have today.

Pay it forward...show compassion

I'll bet there is someone who you will connect with today who could use a little compassion. I had an interaction with a person last week that I am not proud of. I took out some frustration that had been building on someone who did not deserve my frustration. Since that happened, I have been considering finding that person on the telephone that I was not very nice to and apologize. Alas, she turns out to be one of many many call operators and I have been unable to locate her.

So today - I am on a mission to be compassionate and pay it forward. I can't make up for that bad interaction last week - but I can certainly be kind and show compassion to everyone I come in contact with. Today is all about compassion, and if you would like to know more about another opportunity to show compassion follow this link: Day 58
