All my life I searched for something that would make me feel good all the time regardless of any negative people or circumstances around me. Many people thought I was chasing a pipe dream but I persisted and because I persisted, I found the one thing that always makes me feel good, no matter what, and that is giving. For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a philanthropist. The problem was I wasn't rich. You see, I thought you had to be rich to give money away. That all changed when I realized that I could be a philanthropist by giving away as little as a dollar. I started small, giving extra money to 'people and causes' from my tip jar. I soon discovered the more money I gave to people and causes I believed in, the more energy I had and the happier I was. I support 'people and causes' that make me feel good. Some of the causes I support have been one shot deals like the organic garden project. Others projects like Kiva, financially helping out a friend with cancer and Hearts of the Sacred Spirit are on-going. I am also in the process of raising funds for an Inspirational Reality TV pilot program. I love giving of my time, talent and monies to others who are in need of financial support and inspiration. Nothing brings me greater joy than knowing I was able to help another. I do have one rule in supporting various 'people and causes,' it must feel good to me. I never support any person or cause coming from guilt, duty, burden or obligation. Beside giving 'people and causes' money from my tip jar, I promote their 'causes' up on the Internet by writing and publishing articles about them and by sharing their 'causes' up on Facebook and Twitter. I also raise money for them by using money from my tip fund to create a 'matching funds challenge' for them. A 'matching funds challenge' is one where I donate x number of dollars when x number of people match my donation. Depending on the money I have in the tip jar, at the time, my matching fund donations can range anywhere from $200.00 to $1000.00. Recently I did a $200.00 'matching funds challenge for Hearts of the Sacred Spirit and my $200.00 matching funds challenge raised over $2,000.00 for the organization in a three (3) day period. I find people like challenges and matching fund challenges seem to bring the best out in them.. In addition to using tip money to help others, I share one other form of tips. These are tips on successful living that I post up on Facebook and Twitter. I do this to share the wisdom I've received from my dad that has inspired me to do the ordinary things in life, extraordinarily well.
