We give something away because the world desperately needs us to offer ourselves and our unique gifts up to it.  Whether it's our humor or the flowers we grow in our front garden or the meals we cook or the music we make or the mittens we don't need and someone else could use or how we make things beautiful or give a helping hand.....

We give something away because... it's time.
