31: To the Days of Generosity Ahead

As you know, this podcast focuses on the beautiful spaces of generosity. I will be taking a break until January 5.  Instead of reading a quote this week, I encourage you to explore the roots of generosity within your own holiday traditions. As I reflect on St. Nicholas Day, Hanukkah, Christmas, Christkind, Kwanzaa, Three Kings Day and so many of the other holidays, I am struck by the universal elements of generosity and relationships.  Yet, we can get so busy in planning for these holidays that we miss the simple truths that generosity brings to each of these holidays.  So, let’s reflect on one question until January 5:In the midst of the busyness, how will you be generous to yourself so that you can give out of the cup of generosity to others?   Until January 5.What do you think?To explore fundraising coaching deeper and to schedule an exploratory session, visit ServingNonprofits.com.Music credit: Woeisuhmebop
