During one of her shows a few years back, Oprah Winfrey made a profound and beautiful statement that I appreciated very much. She said, "We do shows about lots of 'stuff' and my 'favorite things,' but what people want more than anything else is to know that they're appreciated. . . that's the best gift of all."

Can you live a divinely-inspired life, connect to your calling, be an entrepreneur, and still make money?
That question has been buzzing in my head lately (see Part One in this series, "Do Well By Doing Good") and from what I can gather from those of you who are writing to me, talking to me at my public speaking events, and posting in Owning Pink comments, it’s on your mind too.
Many of us are jaded and disillusioned from the corporate world, so we’ve left behind boardrooms, hospitals, courts, classrooms, and other systems where
we went to practice our art and found ourselves lost. After leaving the systems that conspire to dim our lights, we often find ourselves faced with uncomfortable
choices as we align with our Inner Pilot Lights. We may desire the comfort, stability, ability to be generous with others, and little (or big) luxuries that accompany a lucrative paycheck. But many of us are simply done selling our souls for the privilege of that stable income.

Why do we give?
Why do we hold back?
What does it mean to give freely?
When we give of ourselves, what are we giving?
Can you give too much? Too much...love?

Please welcome one of our global Pinkies Maddie, who joins us from Melbourne, Australia and is an active member of the forum and posse blog. Originally from the UK, Maddie has been on a Seekers path over the past 5 or 6 years, exploring life's twists, turns, and tumbles. She calls it like she sees it, cheers Pinkies on from the rooftops, and offers advice when asked (but doesn’t sulk if you don’t take it!). This post is about paying Owning Pink forward, reminding us that when we find our mojos, the easiest way to reinforce what we've learned is to pass it on -- often to those least expecting it.

I have always been a Daddy’s girl. For as long as I can remember my relationship with my father has been a great one. I woke up this morning thinking of my Dad and what my sister and I would do for him on this special day to honor all that he is for us.

Hiya Pinkies! We’ve been blessed to receive dozens of requests lately from Pinkies who wish to be of service. At first, I was speechless. Why would you want to help little ol’ me? But now I realize that really, you wish to serve Owning Pink, to give back to the community that has given so much to you.
