[This article is a work of nonfiction based on actual events directly experienced by the author.]

I love nice things, and I always have.

I try to be as generous as I can with the people in my life; my family, friends, and colleagues.

Yes, I don't have a family of my own, and my time and money are more flexible.

But no matter what, even if I got married today to a woman with six kids, I would still do whatever I could to help whoever I could, whether I had $9.00 in the bank or $90 million...and not waiting until they begged me for it either.

I never just sit by and indulge myself completely without somehow, literally sharing the wealth...at whatever measure...especially with those who I know are in dire need.

Blessings to us all.
