Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday Reflections

Tonight feels like a good moment to slow down and remember what generosity actually means.

Not just money.

Not just resources.

But the ways we show up for each other, the quiet ways we support our communities, the moments we choose to care when no one is watching.

Giving Tuesday always reminds me that we're all connected. When a child gets the support they need, a classroom changes.

When a woman feels seen and cared for, a family shifts.

When someone receives mental health support at the right moment, an entire future opens.

Generosity is how we soften the world for one another.

So whether you give to a local nonprofit, donate items, support a cause close to your heart, or simply offer kindness that cost nothing, you're helping build a stronger, more compassionate community.

If tonight feels heavy or complicated, that's okay too. Giving can look like caring for your own nervous system, honoring your limits, and choosing gentleness with yourself.

Here's to the people and organizations doing good work in quiet, powerful ways. And here's to the small acts of care that ripple farther than we ever see.
