“I never viewed money as being “my money” I always saw it as “The money.” It’s a resource. if it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.” —

Louis C.K. on splitting four ways the $1 million proceeds from the online sale of his Beacon Theater show: Paying for production costs, rewarding his staff with bonuses, keeping $220,000 for himself and his fam and giving the remaining $280,000 to nonprofits (including the awesome charity: water).

Interacting with people who not only believe this sentiment but operate from it daily is the very best part of working in development. I think we lose sight, sometimes, of what an amazingly generous country we live in - and how many individuals, foundations and corporations choose to give back extraordinarily.

I love this quote. What an awesome example of selflessness and a great kick in the pants for all of us as we’re considering our own year end giving.

Given that I own a trumpet and only really know how to play Christmas songs on it, I need to take advantage of the short window of the holidays next year and start busking on the street for money.

I’ve got to question the sensibilities of the half dozen people who seem to always be lining up and waiting for Lululemon to open each morning. I mean, I understand the whole “beat the shopping rush”, but it’s not like the store is filled to capacity when it opens at 10.
