 Merry Christmas everyone. My name is Cynthia Lee Sinclair. I am the host of Finding Respect in the Chaos here on Think Tech live every other Friday at 3 p.m. It is a safe place for survivors of abuse to come and tell their stories and a place for advocates to come and share important resources. At Christmas time, we are called upon to be generous in spirit. But what does that mean exactly? Does it mean that if you drop a few coins in the red buckets where you hear the bell ringing, you are covered for the season? Well, it is a good thing to donate to that great cause, but generosity of the spirit is something much deeper than that. When we make a hot meal for a homeless family and deliver it with a few small gifts for the kids, that is generosity of the spirit. Making a batch of cookies for the older woman who lives alone in your building, you will make her day. That is generosity of the spirit. Generosity of the spirit is to go out of your way to be kind to someone, to reach out of your comfort zone and spread love and joy to everyone around you. Here in Hawaii, we live aloha every day. We smile when we pass someone. You rarely hear a horn honk while you're on the road. Generosity of spirit is like the aloha spirit times 10. Hawaii is proud to share the aloha spirit every day, so we have plenty of practice. Christmas is a time when being generous of spirit can touch someone's life like no other time of the year. All of us here at Think Tech wish you a bountiful Christmas season, filled with love and laughter. I'm Cynthia Lee Sinclair, wishing you a melikikimaka and a haoli makahiki ho.
