Giving

I started reading Bill Clinton's new book entitled Giving: How each of us can change the world. Although I am only 3 chapters in it really gets my mind wandering. I mean this in nothing but the best of ways. Every story, anecdote, and tid bit of information gets me thinking of the possibilities and ideas that I have for creating some good. I particularly liked the idea that Bill and his wife Hillary decided to do within their family. They gave a book about how to donate to younger members of their family along with a bit of money under the idea that at least 25% of it had to be donated and that at the end of each month they would check in and expect a report on how they had done. They did this to breed a culture of giving in their family in hopes that it would become a life-long commitment. I think this is a great gift for any family member not just those of a younger age. If you want to check out the book - which I highly recommend you do the link is
