Generosity and Selflessness:
Growing up on the west side of Albuquerque, New Mexico in the 1980s afforded me an interesting upbringing. My grandparents moved into a relatively low-income neighborhood to live and serve the community with their gifts and also took on the task of raising their newborn granddaughter - me. I was gifted the opportunity to see generosity in action on a daily basis. Our door was always open to our neighbors, my friends, the community, and to those in need. There are so many different forms that generosity takes and I have found that those that are typically the most generous - in time, energy, possessions, or even financially - are those that are experiencing or have experienced being without. Far too often, people's gifts, talents, and time are dismissed in our current societal structure.
