| Dear Friend,
THANK YOU for hanging out at B1G1x Sydney last week - and for responding so beautifully to my little call to action. I hope you found the download accompanying my talk, "The Science of Selfish Giving" useful! Have you looked at any of the research on the benefits of altruism? Isn't it life-affirming to know that not only are we touching the lives of the recipients with our giving, but also making a difference in our own lives, and those of the people around us, as well?
We are indeed, all one - connected by our common humanity! What is good for others is also good for us :)
I wanted to send my grateful thanks to you - and let you know that today I have kept my promise and given school meals to children in Kenya thanks to YOU. But when I logged on, I thought about you all and how you inspired me to make a difference. I was moved to top it up with something extra; so today, 550 school meals have been given, to nourish young bodies and minds as they grow strong for their future lives. I felt you all with me as I made that choice and wanted to share the good vibes with you too! |

I'm hoping that when you read that good news, you too will be inspired to action - just like the research says - and find a way to share those good vibes with others and pay it forward! |
|
- It could be a random act of kindness for a stranger, neighbour or friend;
- It could be in a kind word of encouragement for a colleague or customer who needs it;
- It could be an extra big hug for someone special in your life;
- Or of course, it could be an extra giving activity with B1G1, too.

Whatever you choose to do next, thank you for being part of this Cycle of Virtue - this ongoing expression of altruism, care and giving. Together, in a million large and small ways, YOU are making a positive difference.
|

| I can't wait to see you again at another B1G1 event - and if you have any questions about my talk and how to implement the positive power of altruism even further in your work and giving, then please drop me an email anytime. I'd be delighted to connect again!
Sending all my very best to you and your family for the holiday season. |
