The best way to gauge others’ values isn’t to ask them directly. It’s to see who they respect.

Shallow people are impressed by superficiality. They look up to beauty, fame, money & power.

Deep people are drawn to substance. They admire wisdom, kindness, creativity & integrity.

Our hearts are heavy as the country burns. Community foundations are actively working to support their territorial communities that are affected by wildfires. In moments like these, we’ve seen how communities from coast to coast to coast can rally together and support one another

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.

Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.

There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.

A moving end to #Reconnect2023 with @choirchoirchoir and a room full of community foundation friends hopeful for the future of their communities.

The most toxic relationships aren't the purely negative ones. They're the mixed ones.

It hurts more to be let down by people you sometimes like than by people you always dislike.

If you can't fix an ambivalent tie, it may be time to shield yourself.
