Who is someone in your life that encourages you and how does this person instill courage in you? Describe a story from around the world that inspires you and provides you hope for humanity. On the journey of life, we experience many circumstances and lessons of hardship and hope. We can lose hope carrying our many losses and deep grief through our lifetime. It is okay to sit with those thoughts for a moment. Journal your thoughts and emotions or share your feelings with a loved one or someone you trust. Then begin to practice hope. Begin to think of those who are in your life that are inspirational, those who paddle alongside you in your canoe. Take note of the good things happening for you and around you.

Why is generosity important? When have I intentionally reduced spending habits in order to be more generous to another person, family or friend? The potlatch and longhouse ceremonies bring together our First Nations and Native American families in our villages. It is a time when we join together to share in significant life events such as an ancestral naming, coming of age rites of passage, funerals, memorials and feasts. The host family distributes the resources and wealth accumulated over the years spent in preparation for the ceremony. Wealth can be measured by how much one is able to give away. We honour and give generously to all who attend, walk beside us and work with us. Generosity is a learned behavior that involves both attitude and action. You can give of your monetary wealth, belongings, skills, time, or personal availability to benefit others.
