It's time for one of my favorite days of the year...Giving Tuesday! It's become an international movement that connects the world with a day of Giving Back. So of course I love it. Are you familiar with Giving Tuesday? Do you want to find out more about it? In this week's vlog, I share all the ways that you can prepare for this upcoming Giving Tuesday. I hope that you will find the information helpful. I had a really great time recording the vlog...I LOVE talking about Gi

Hi, I'm Gail and I have a great big purpose that scares the heck out of me. Lol! Most of the time though, I sit in pure gratitude for this great big heart of mine and for my desire to do my part to change the world. So when I decided to add the vlog to my repertoire, I immediately started overthinking and wondering if it would be good enough. I took a deep breath and just recorded what was on my heart: A reintroduction to the community of who I am and what Giving Back With Ga

When I decided to create Giving Back With Gail, I knew that I wanted to create a space where I could bring together a community of people all working towards the goal of making the world a better place.

Everyday I see some injustice in the world; people without a place to call home or enough food to eat, the environment being taken for granted, etc. I know that I’m not alone in this. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all and to think that you don’t have the power to do anything about it. Let me introduce you to the very thing that will change your mind: Volunteering.

As is want to happen in New York, the subways were delayed and it would have taken me quite a long time to get there, so I opted to call a Lyft.

He specifically wanted to be more consistent with how he saved money. He had it coming in but spent

I started Giving Back with Gail two years ago and I had no idea where it would go. You see I just kept getting this pull to create a community that worked together to change the world and inspire others to do the same. I had no idea if it would resonate with people or not. I just created the page and posted in earnest every single day. Before long, a organic community emerged that became so much more than I ever could have imagined. Living a life of purpose is exhilarating, s
