Finding articles on being generous has proved to be extremely difficult. That just doesn't seem to be the slant that most writers take.

What words are most commonly searched for on Google instead?

There are oddles of searches for words like charity, donation (lots there!) and donate, fundraising and giving, and volunteer. Those seem to be words - in my mind, anyway, - slanted more to pleading and asking people to give generously - all in an effort to stir up generosity. Whereas I'd like to dwell on the joy that comes when we gladly give to others.

Sure there are a number of motives for giving, but I want to keep returning to the joy and delight in being able to give, not because we feel coaxed or shamed into it, but simply because a spirit of generosity wells up within us, and we just want to give and GIVE!

It would appear then that I'll have to write the articles for this site. Unless, dare I hope that you are here for a similar reason? Do you have thoughts and stories to share about being generous and how you did it? Or to protect your cover, maybe you can project the story in the third person? Write it as if someone else - your alter ego - did the giving.

You can let me know... Okay?

Meantime, I must mull over these other words and see if I can get a more positive light to shine on them in my understanding.
