JEN'S "GIVEBACK FORTNIGHT" 5th - 19th April 2011

Making 2011 a year of giving, caring and generosity towards others in action and in spirit.

To our dearest family, friends, colleagues and readers,

As we gratefully leave 2010 with our very own personally stories and move with all of our hope into a brand new year full of promises, I wonder how together we can make 2011 our best year yet. I believe one of the keys to marking a passage of time might just be promoting love, peace, joy and prosperity toward others whom are hopeless, loveless, broken, lost, homeless and orphaned.

We have heard if not know all about the many profound quotes and insights the sages have shared with us, about owning a purpose, giving meaning to life, serving others, really, life in itself! Some say it is the rock for a good life while some call it the rent or karma we must pay for our space upon this Earth. In my thinking, serving each other and another is the very reason we are here.

Imagine, in our darkness we still have the power to add value to someone else, we might not be able to solve our problems but we can help others solve theirs, we can care and maybe even rebuild lives.

We have so much to share with others in many ways, some as easy as a warm smile, a kind word or just listening carefully to someone else. Serving others is such a deeply committed undertaking, demanding the best of our time, intelligence and efforts. It is so hard and in our hearts of hearts, we know this to be so true.

But you know, the amazing thing about doing things for others is how it comes back to serve us. It is not a "one good deed deserves another" transaction that we can expect in advance. It is but a great place to stand in life, to give with a heart and maybe, just maybe, blessed to receive with gratefulness.

What we might get back may just be good feelings, like a sense of accomplishment, a renewal of energy and experiencing joy. We might even receive generosity returned in the form of care and actions of other people. Perhaps, even a miracle when we least expected but needed most.

It is my hope you will join us by making this your intention for 2011 and help us by sending this letter out to your private database.
