"The heart that gives, gathers."

-  Marianne Moore 

In past blogs and writings, I shared thoughts on the importance of building your Personal Community. Many of my clients, friends and colleagues share in this abundance theory of Give to Grow or Share and Care  - that our lives are enlarged by the generosity of our own heart. There are many ways we can be generous of spirit. In this day and age, we can be virtually generous of spirit through social media by sending our words of encouragement or supporting another's endeavors.

Just for Today, ask yourself:

How am I generous of spirit?

What is one thing I can do today to show generosity to someone who has lifted me up?

What is one thing I can do today to "pass on" the generosity of others?

Just for today, try one of these four generous actions:

1) Do a mindful, virtual "rounding" of your work environment and personally thank a co-worker or colleague for a specific action or their support of you.

2) Share a sincere compliment on Facebook or Twitter.

3) Post a recommendation on LinkedIn.

4) Send a quick Happy Birthday through Facebook, text, IM or email.

Best wishes as you expand and extend your generous heart!
