    catattack is getting on with life.

    I just sent some money to my rabbi... 4 months ago

    for her discretionary fund. I figure she can spend it better than I can.

    You know, I think this happens at odd times. 6 months ago

    A little here, a little there. Leaving extra money on parking meters. Leaving a little more in tips. Tipping the garbage man. In this economy, I think those kinds of things add up.

    I tend to give more in day-to-day charity in the winter. 6 months ago

    So, I’ve been doing quite a bit of that lately.



    Ten Percent 12 months ago

    My goal is to give 10% of my finances. I give more than 10% of my time already.

    Beyond becoming a habit... 2 years ago

    this has become part of my whole system of bookkeeping and life.

    Count it as both Done and Ongoing!

    This year... 2 years ago

    I’m doing a portion of my gift giving with kiva.org gift certificates (which I got at www.kiva.org). Looking forward to seeing other people catch the kiva fever.

    Did some math today... 2 years ago

    totaling up my giving for 2006, and was pleasantly (?) surprised to find out that I have done a pretty good job in this dept, enough to challenge my comfort zone. Definitely an area of growth for me.

    Tzedakah... 2 years ago

    is a Hebrew word meaning “justice.” It isn’t charity. It is money or resources given to make justice in the world, to make things fairer, to alleviate suffering.

    I’ve decided I need to give more, and give better. This item on my list is my commitment to do that.
