Giving

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy. ~ Mother Teresa

2015: All proceeds from my 12x12" original art will be donated to Kiva, which provides micro loans to entrepreneurs around the world, starting at just $25. 

Give and you shall receive, much more than you would have ever thought possible. Give, give again and again, don’t lose courage, keep it up and go on giving! No one has ever become poor from giving! If you do this, then in a few generations no one will need to pity the beggar children any more, because they will not exist!
~ Anne Frank

General: I donate 10% of my proceeds to social and environmental causes including Kiva, Heifer International, and the preservation of honey bees.

Your greatness is not what you have, but in what you give.
~ Alice Hocker

There are also spontaneous give-aways of art and products I believe in. Readers of the blog and newsletter might have a first lead on some of this, but surprises are more fun. 

Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
