Munky Bytes " Theme Song"
Our "Munky Bytes" video includes opening and closing refrains from the Munky Man Theme Song "Wake Up Call Of The Wild". Listeners tell us the song "gets into your head". It got into my head while walking down a forest trail about 10 years ago. Banana Gang members have been marching to the words and music ever since. Click on the > on the player below to listen to the entire song. Enjoy!

Boomer Generation: Generosity and 9/11
Did you watch the recent account of a former U.S. Marine who just happened to be near ground zero in New York that tragic day 6 years ago. His story was central to a truly emotional T.V. show that built his family a wonderful new home. A beautiful example of joy thru generosity!
A bright light shined out of the darkness that day when he risked his own safety to find two policemen alive, trapped in the rubble. Like countless others, many of whom gave their lives for others that day and despite the life threatening conditions, he found the courage to act; not for reward or praise but because he is a human being and it was something he just had to do.

THE TRANSITION GENERATION 1946 - 1964
“Once upon a time not too long ago there were these two guys. One guy was pretty big so he was called Big Guy. The other guy wasn’t so big yet so he was called Little Guy. They were pals! They loved to go on these adventures together and each time Big Guy brought his compass and Little Guy brought his whistle. One day…………………….”These words are taken from a relationship formed between a grandfather and his grandson. They took shape through circumstance, imagination and love in a series of bedtime stories. (We now share them as Big Guy and Little Guy Adventure Stories.) They echo the joy of nurturing and the need for young boys to have a positive male role model. This relationship is an example of the unexpected that can happen to families at any time. We can make plans but we can’t plan outcomes!
As in most cases the outcome was a joyful experience. Somehow, through the twists and turns of life, a father with grown children found himself as surrogate father figure to his grandson. When a father helps rear his son and daughters there is an intuitive knowing the relationship will last a lifetime in some shape or fashion. However, little thought, if any, is given to one day being a “father figure” to a grandchild. Well it's happening!

Transition Generation "One Moment at a Time"
Far from the maddening crowds and competition of Beijing, and oblivious to the power plays in other far away places; it’s August on Vancouver Island. The morning sunrise over Craig Bay is truly a blessing to behold. It’s going to be another hot one today! Freshly brewed coffee in hand, I take it all in.

Something's Happening Here Boomers!
“Hard as it may be to believe in these days of infectious greed and sabers unsheathed , scientists have discovered that the small, brave act of cooperating with another person, of choosing trust over cynicism, generosity over selfishness, makes the brain light up with quiet joy”…………. Nice eh!
Reading Rambam’s Ladder (A Meditation on Generosity and Why It Is Necessary to Give) by Julie Salamon introduced me to this little gem. The quote was borrowed from an article written by Natalie Angier and fit nicely into Ms. Salamon’s meditation. Somethings happening here!

BOOMERS IN SOUTH EAST ASIA
Good friends just returned from a trip to Thailand and Cambodia. When asked about their adventure one thread was continual. They were consistently moved by the smiles on the faces of the people they came in contact with - moments of pure joy.
They told us of the blessing given to them by a blind street merchant after a small sale; the stranger freely giving directions; little ragamuffin children waving “Hello” from their small one room huts on stilts; the true thanks for a tip from a driver, a waiter or guest house clerk and how they bowed gently with their hands in child like prayer.) Honest gratitude was commonplace.

UPDATE MARCH 2008
COMING SOON!
"GENEROSITY WORKPLACE WELLNESS SEMINARS": We are currently developing 1 .5 hour /half day / full day seminars to enhance workplace generosity. Our concept embraces the generosity within the individual employment environment and in the greater community, locally and globally.
INTERNATIONAL JOY!
MULTICULTURAL GENEROSITY: We recently visited Southeast Asia (Thailand and Cambodia) to research a documentary on the Generosity of Nations. This research will lead us into to a series of films and slide shows demonstrating joy through generosity around the world. Our plan is to provide schools, colleges and the general public with models of the simple joy of giving. We are looking for individual and corporate sponsors interested in helping finance the production(s). Visit our Advertising / Sponsors Category Page
INTERACTION WITH YOU:
We invite articles and comments from site visitors to provide their accounts of the joy of giving & receiving & topics related to our purpose. Additionally, we'd like to establish important links to those individuals and organizations with like-minded goals.
We’ll keep you “posted” and as always, welcome your support and feedback. As stated in ABOUT US we believe the joy and spiritual growth stemming from generosity can change the world and the more we embrace it, the more we are enhancing the quality of life for our planet and its entire population.
And as DaMunk says, “Bula Bula”
