The Joy of Giving!
Heaven Hi!!!
Let’s have a cup of java. Make mine a latte of giving.
Children and families throughout the United States, and the world, get up in the morning and wonder if they are going to have enough food to eat, enough money for school, or even a house to live in. Some children even wonder if they are even going to be able to survive from some heinous sickness or disease, because they lack the medication for their ailment. While some people live in abundance, others live in squalor, and many ask; is there a solution? Yes and the answer is Giving For Real. In Bill Clinton’s new book, “Giving,” he explains the pure joy and karma like reward that one receives from giving. If everyone gives everyone receives, making the need less severe and better enabling that person with a more enriched life by; better educational opportunities, proper nutrition, housing, and medication. In essence you set a balance. As an Actor For Real you know that to be Balanced, Observant, and Present (BOP) is the essence of excellence. If you are in BOP you will be aware of the needs of yourself as well as others. And giving to others in need feels great. Let’s face it our children are our future. So, why not make their life a little better to live, so they will experience a more beneficial future. At Acting For Real we have chosen to GIVE. 15% of our funds from the products sold go to two wonderful charities; Feed the Children, and Mercy Corps. Acting For Real knows the joy of giving, and the importance in providing a safe, secure lifestyle for the future of our children, as well as ourselves. We all know the happiness we feel when we receive a gift. It doesn’t even compare to the excitement of giving one. So give, and experience the joy.

Hi Thom – I love your philosophy about wealth and charity. There is enough wealth in the Universe for all of us, if we know how to live a values-driven life and to focus on what we want. And what we want should include helping to improve the quality of life for others. If you are a giver, you attract other givers, and the opportunity to connect as givers allows even more people to benefit from the cumulative synergy.
Personally, I want to create and accumulate wealth in order to set up a Family Foundation which would focus on eliminating child poverty at home and abroad. My vision is that my family members, for generations to come, will manage the family money so as to make the world a better place for all.
I love your Appreciation Walks with your children, and your philanthropic spirit in donating 15% of your profits from this endeavour to charity. After reading your post, I will be donating 15% of my web sites’ earnings to the creation of a charitable foundation to eliminate child poverty. Thanks for leading the way by example.
Best of luck with your new business.
Warmly,
Nan Einarson,
