Here at WhatGives!? we hope you find all these this season. And one other… we hope you find Joy.
Joyousness doesn’t come easy, but we’ve been lucky enough this year to meet new friends like Mark Horvath, Meaghan Edelstein, Noland Hoshino, Joe Waters, and Shauna Causey – and to spend time with old friends like Amy Skeeters-Behrens and Judy Chang. Each of these folks has something to teach us about finding joy, because each of them is pursuing a larger goal than themselves. Reaching out, striving to help others. That’s how joy is created.
I’m very grateful to the WhatGives!? team, and to our circle of friends and family for giving us the chance to share stories of giving and working for social good year round. And we hope that each of you takes time this year to celebrate and reflect, to share laughter with your friends and family, and most of all, to take action. It doesn’t matter what you do – any act of kindness will bring you joy, and it’ll inspire others to do the same.
So as we say around here: “Do something good. Tell people about it. Do it again.”
You’ll be surprised how much happiness you can create. Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone.
