It’s great when being generous in our everyday lives and giving to the world become a part of who we are, but it is equally important to acknowledge how giving you are. This has reminded me of how much I practice largesse in my life. I give to my community by working on a mentorship program for youths in underprivileged communities, I give to my family by spending time with them and engaging in interesting conversations, I give to myself through yoga and meditation, and I give to my friends by letting them know how much I appreciate them

Largesse was the one that I was having difficulty wrapping my head around so this was very helpful. I used to think that “giving” always meant large gestures like spending an entire Saturday at a soup kitchen. While I enjoyed charitable time like that, with the demands of life, I have felt recently that I don’t have the time to give to others… but this post reminded me that little gestures of giving are just as important. So tonight as I made homemade pasta sauce for dinner, I just doubled the amount and I’m going to package the extra for a neighbor that just had surgery so she doesn’t have to worry that her kids are eating Oreos for dinner. Very little extra time on my part, but I bet it will mean the world to my neighbor!
