The Generosity Experiment: 13 years of outrageous intentions

How would you react to the creative generosity of an aging author starting over? Do you sabotage blessings intended for you?

INVITE ME TO SPEAK ON... 
 * My 13 Year Generosity Experiment  
 * Recognizing/Allowing Creative Generosity  
 * Recovering Money & Personal Property with Generosity  
 * Writing Tough Letters Brilliantly to Recover What's Yours
  * When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemon Meringue Pie (Life lessons from a former home ec teacher)
  * How to Win Essay Contests When You Really Need to Win the Prize

My 4 goals in sequence:
 1. Get back on my feet after meeting all my financial obligations - all living expenses paid on time, all debts paid and a year of living expenses put aside - so I have no more anxiety about money.   

2. Write and publish a book about my 13 year Generosity Experiment that sells 10,000 + copies so my patrons, sponsors and our charity earn money too so they will be thrilled with my promotional and sales efforts.   

3. Build my retirement fund so I can live on the interest from investing it, from age 67 on, travel about the country as an activist, speaking about generosity of spirit.  
 
4. Create a million dollar fund to subsidize other authors who are forced to stop writing, self-publishing, promoting and selling books online as I was.  

No, I'm not the former mistress of Claus von Bulow, played by actress Christine Baranski in the film Reversal of Fortune, but thanks for asking.

This web site was banned by the board of directors and property manager of Geneva on the Park Condominiums in St. Catharines Ontario... because we all know only men should publish web sites. Right?

On this page I will list well-known professionals, practices and and companies who I and others have nominated as people who are generous of spirit in their business practices (godmothers).

My own picks for Generosity Awards are:

1. The Bonnie Hunt Show
2. The Ellen DeGeneres Show
3. Suze Orman Show
4. Dave Ramsey Show

These people have good hearts and it shows. (More will be added as I find them.)

Definitely not in the running:

1. The GEICO commercial which disparages "cavemen". (Yes I know prehistoric cavemen don't exist now, but the idea that it's OK to dis any class of human being is off-putting to me. It implies that it's OK to target a group of innocent people as stupid. Who will be next?)
