Look what it got him. Mister Smiff liked anonymity. He kept a low profile, often traveling under assumed names, claiming to be anything from a banker to a (very) successful life insurance salesman. He’d never broken the law, at least not irreparably. He was quite generous, well liked, sponsoring many charities anonymously – which is why it was so surprising to find him floating face down in the private spa in his apartment, murdered. He had been murdered, unless it was a freak shaving accident. Those old razors weren’t called cut-throats for nothing. Yikes.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["accident","anonymity","anonymously","apartment","charities","claiming","distana","for","freak","generous","he-d","him","in","irreparably","it","law","life","liked","look","murdered","names","never","not","nothing","often","old","ossifar","profile","razors","salesman","so","successful","surprising","the","this","to","traveling","unless","very","well","what","yikes"],"id":40758,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"Don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly...

You’re totally lucky you even saw it.” I take the deep red, half-dollar-sized piece from him and smile, looking out across the ocean. I told Matt in my letter before we left that I’d find a piece just for him, but now that it’s actually here, sparkling in my hand, I know he’d want me to do something else with it. I raise it above my head and throw it as hard and as far as I can into the sea. Let someone else have a lucky day, Anna. Sam laughs. “Hey, crazy, what’d you do that for? You’ll probably never see something like that again in your entire life.” “Right. But I did see it. And now someone else can, too.","author":"Sarah Ockler","tags":["anna-reiley","beach","found","generous","lucky-day","matt-perino","ocean","red-glass","sam-macintosh","see","someone-else"],"id":81964,"author_id":"Sarah+Ockler"},{"text":"The more light in your composition, the more generous you are. That is the first sign of a true light warrior. They give without waiting for you to ask. They give without expecting to be repaid. They give to strangers and even offer help to enemies.
