When we give mindfully, meaning authentically and without looking for anything in return, there is a powerful charge that rolls through us. This is because generosity is an outer expression of the interconnection we all need as human-beings. Generosity says we care. Cultivating generosity is about spending time and effort on someone other than ourselves. It is also about genuinely giving to ourselves with the gifts of self-acceptance and self-compassion, as well as to carve out a few minutes each day that have no purpose other than to just be. Mindful giving replenishes the spirit. "Such is the power of mindful, selfless generosity. At the deepest level, there is no giver, no gift, and no recipient . . . only the universe rearranging itself." ~Jon Kabat-Zinn
