It is rewarding. Even when frustration takes over, being in a generous community takes some of the frustration away and I get to remember my goals again and that everyone is not just a taker! I did not come from an overly generous family. To be more specific they did not teach me -- that I can remember -- to be a giver. In fact... my mother always said everyone was taking advantage of me. Shrug - That was just the way she was! I learned generosity when I learned to be grateful! It's fun to help others and spread the joy. Everyone has to feel they are here for some reason - best is when they are passionate about that reason.

I did not come from an overly generous family. To be more specific they did not teach me — that I can remember — to be a giver. In fact… my mother always said everyone was taking advantage of me. Shrug – That was just the way she was!

I learned generosity when I learned to be grateful! It’s fun to help others and spread the joy. Everyone has to feel they are here for some reason – best is when they are passionate about that reason.

The person gets, the giver gets and even the observer gets! Research does show this - I believe Wayne Dwyer did some studies years ago about how the observer benefits from acts of kindness and giving. This act of generousity says as much about Donnna Fox as it does about Warren Whitlock!! I am thrilled to be in your company...Oh, and H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y D O N N A F O X!!! :-) All the best, Julette @JuletteMillien Giving is so good for the soul too!

We just had a great example of that in the last couple of days when my friend @ShannonCole found himself in a crunch and his Twitter & Facebook internet marketing community came to the rescue. It was heartwarming to see how so many people spread out all over the world (including the fab @JoelComm and @DanRaine) stepped up to help out. We wouldn't have been able to help Shannon with the sheer speed we did without the power of Twitter and Facebook and our online friends. Cheers!
