Give what you can, ideally on a Monday. Why?

Because Monday doesn’t have to be so BLUE.

While this project has appeared to have died online a good few years ago I love keeping the tradition going and continue to give on occasional Mondays. it pure altruism as the feeling of giving is so rewarding.

The the story behind GiveMondays is:

One fine morning we had an epiphany – giving feels good and Mondays are blue. Blessed with this wonderful insight we decided to set up GiveMondays and encourage people to give their week the best possible start by good deeds every Monday.

Now, I don’t know who started the project, but I loved it when I came across it.

To get started, all you have to do is get a blue envelope and leave it in a random spot with some instructions on how to pay it forward. But for a more slightly more engaging twist, I like to try and give the envelope letter to some one. i then make a simultaneous dash -either off the train, out the shop, off the the bus. I do this way because it challenges me to really think about the act of giving and the thoughts that are associated with giving to who. some times it money sometimes is a gift. card but always include a message. simply beKIND
