Since this is the month of Thanksgiving, in this issue of Be Inkandescent Magazine, we have taken the opportunity to celebrate the power and importance of giving.
Research shows that your brain actually lights up when you give, writes author Wendy Smith in Give a Little: How Your Small Donations Can Transform Our World. “Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke found that something in our brains shaped by evolution allows us to feel joy when we do good things,” she says. “It’s a biological force.” Read our review.
Also in this issue, you’ll learn about several incredible non-profit organizations including the Maasai Girls Education Fund, The Center for Wilderness Safety, and the World Food Programme, which is run by our Truly Amazing Woman, Josette Sheeran.
The pièce de résistance of this issue is the November Entrepreneur of the Month, Robert Egger, the founder of the DC Central Kitchen, and author of the inspiring book, “Begging for Change.” He teaches us the dollars and sense of making non-profits responsive, efficient, and rewarding for all.
As industrialist and philanthropist Warren Buffett says: “Anything not worth doing well is not worth doing.”
Here’s to giving it your all. — Hope Katz Gibbs
