I was finishing up the 30 months of researching, writing and producing my book generosity-GENROZT as the recent Presidential election ended. Maybe you were as ticked off as I was by that 'makers vs. takers' baloney bandied about in the campaign's final months.
The way I see it, WE ARE ALL RECIPIENTS (emphasis ADDED). Each one of us has a powerful, often-untold story of GENROZT ... the memory of a profoundly gracious act done to us, or for us, that creates a joyful ache every time it is remembered.
What's really needed, now, is every one of us rekindling that memory, writing it out, then mailing our memory in gratitude to The One. So, I'm asking.
The Donald has a wonderful tale to tell. And probably he won't even mention money! I'll mail him my book this week and hope that the chapter on Miss Oseola McCarty, or the one on Gordie Howe, or maybe the one on Mary Jane DeShon and Izzy Idonije, inspires him to share his story of gratitude, the one that creates that ache every time he remembers it.
Stay tuned, fellow recipients ...
