1 simple question.

Picture this: you writing a check to your favorite charity for 1 million dollars.

What feelings do you think you would have if you were able to write a check for 1 million dollars all at once to a charity of your choice?


Bellow is optional reading:

I am building this blog with the idea of helping as many charities and "noble" - I like that word- causes as possible which include helping to empower people with positive thoughts rather than negative ones.

When you are here and you post you are now doing a charitable work.

    'must be nice to have enough expendable cash to do so' :)

    If you had a million to give away, would you do it secretly or would you have your picture in the paper?

    I think I'd feel proud of myself, but then I wonder if it's bad to feel that way because you should give to charity without reaping some form of reward for yourself - it's all very confusing in my head.

    I think the charitable work over the years has really given me more than I have given...
    As an ER nurse I was never able to resist talking in depth with my patients giving them my heart as part of not my job but my believe that everyone needs to know that they are worth something. In the ER you see people sometimes without hope...as they gave me something that I will always keep with me...

    I would feel very happy and satisfied for being able to help make a difference in such a big way. It always feels good to give to others!

    That would be the most amazing feeling in the world, I think.

    I guess I'll be thinking whether I'm solving a problem or merely postponing it in time...And probably feeling happy that I can help.

    Thank you all for such wonderful contributions.

    Would I want my name in the paper for donating? Depends if it would encourage other wealthy people to do the same yes. To show how great I am no.

    You are all GREAT and charitable for posting here.

    Kindest regards to all.

    I would absolutely love to be able to donate money to any charity. Being an English teacher though, I would really like to invest in some type of literacy program so our kids of today could continue to educate themselves. Our country is falling behind every day.
