Americans are not generous because we are rich, we are rich because of our generosity to one another.

Hi, I'm Claire

Welcome to my site! I have studied and tried to practice generosity my entire life.  I’ve been a writer and a researcher, a teacher and college president, a volunteer community developer, a corporate director, and a church volunteer. Most importantly, I have been and still am, a daughter, sibling, wife, mother and grandmother! Generosity is an ideal and I am an idealist. I am certain that you will benefit from all that generosity offers as a way of living.
