Generosity

There is a deep and rich history surrounding the practices of dana, tithing, volunteering and other means of offering supportive service. In a nutshell, generosity is good for your health, it's good for the community, it's good for your spirit, and good for your sense of connection to others.

This year, I felt strongly called to incorporate a practice of focused community generosity into my business. (Note: this is separate from my personal ongoing commitments of service to family and friends.) I am doing this by picking an organization or cause and committing to serve them by offering a certain number of days/hours of volunteerism, making a monthly donation, and/or spreading the word about who they are, what they do and ways for others to get involved and support them, as well.

2013 focus- The Homeless Prenatal Program in San Francisco, CA

Picture
This year, my focus is on San Francisco's Homeless Prenatal Program. I first learned about them several years ago after completing my doula training when I was looking for a place to offer time and a way to develop my skills as a doula.

In the last couple years, I have been fortunate to volunteer with them a couple times in a non-doula related capacity.


I have since moved to a community an hour away, so my focus has been on spreading the word and maintaining my commitment to make a monthly donation. The money will be spent anyway. It's a good feeling to know that I'm directing the flow in a good direction. 

You can visit their homepage for more information about how to volunteer or donate.
