Whose
generosity has altered of your life?
For
me, it’s my aunt.
Because
of her generosity,
I
have traveled long and far
And
visited many countries in Europe.
I
have seen museums and cathedrals,
Waterfalls
and fjords,
Ancient
and modern ruins,
Ballets
and orchestras,
And
so much more.
I
have experienced mud baths in Iceland
And
Nordic bath rituals in the Mediterranean Sea.
I
have made cheese in Switzerland
And
attempted a wine tasting in Italy.
What’s
more, I’ve been on mission to Romania and Belize
Thanks
to JG’s support.
From
Disney to Silver Springs to the Outer Banks and beyond,
JG’s
generosity has cracked open a love a travel that I didn’t know I had.
It
has been life changing and transforming,
And
it is something I am trying to pay forward with my niece through the power of
Broadway shows.
Saying
thank you will never be enough.
But
today, on JG’s birthday,
I
say thank you and ask that whoever reads this does two things:
Pay
JG’s generosity forward.
It
can be through gifts, yes.
But
it can also be through words, acts of service and kindness, experiences, and
presence.
If
the person is still living,
Find
whoever altered your life with generosity and thank them.
If
they have passed on,
Do
something to honor their memory today.
In
a time when negativity and scarcity abound,
Let’s
celebrate abundant generosity
Because
it exists.
It’s
all around us.
We
just need to pause and see.
Happy
Birthday, JG.
May
your generosity be returned to you
In
rich and endearing ways.
Amen.
