Generous Change
On day 1656, itâs part two of âWhatâs in a name?â We dig into the âGenerousâ in Generous Change. Itâs amazing how many things one little word can mean. For us, generosity lies in time, attention and opinion. What does âgenerousâ mean to you? When do you feel most generous? When have other people been generous to you? For bonus points, whatâs the opposite of generosity for you?
