Generosity
- Willingness and liberality in giving away one’s money, time, etc.; magnanimity.
- Freedom from pettiness in character and mind.
Generosity is defined not by the number of dollars we donate or hours we volunteer. It’s about how present we are to the need of a moment, and how willingly we give whatever we are able. It also relates to how much “margin of error” we grant others, including ourselves, during the course of everyday life. Following are excellent illustrations generous spirits and the healing and stability they bring to others as a result.

Libra, INTP, English Major, 
Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!
