Knowing How To Give

I like to think of myself as generous. Hopefully so do you. And, I know I could do more.It’s not just about philanthropy although that matters. It’s about being loving, compassionate, and patient, too.And it’s about giving the gift of fearlessness: asking myself how I can help make everyone feel safe and at home, even the “other side,” and even those whose political views are very different from mine. What if we could begin all of our conversations with that kind of generosity? Maybe we could build more bridges instead of tearing so much down.(To the memory of those who lost their lives on the Francis Scott Key bridge this week, and to the families they loved and supported.)
