This is bananas!

This is bananas!

This real-life story about the power of generosity is bananas - literally!

My friend and author of one of my favorite manifestation books, Jennifer Blanchard, participated in the Giving 💗 Game with me.


She reported back the next day: “Today, I put a note on a Post-it note and stuck it to a $10. I left it under a bunch of bananas while at the grocery store. I like to do my dollar drops anonymously! I'm excited to see what unfolds as this week goes on!”

Four days later, I received this email from Jen:

“Okay, so the day after I dropped that $10 under the bananas at the grocery store, I opened my wallet and found two $5 folded together. I had no idea where they came from!


Then today at the grocery store (I go there a lot, apparently LOL), there was this guy playing Christmas songs on his trumpet for the Salvation Army and collecting donations. So, I tell myself on the way out, I’ll drop one of the $5s in his container.

Well, I’m checking out with my groceries, and I opened my wallet to get one of the $5s out and tucked underneath was also a $50 bill!! Where did it come from?? No idea!! 🤯

I swear it wasn’t there when I saw the $5s the other day. I NEVER have cash because my bank doesn’t have a branch where I live, so I do everything via the mobile app. I’ve been trying to think about where it could’ve come from, but I keep coming up blank! How crazy is that?!”

The math doesn’t add up when we give!

I gave Jen $5; she matched $5 to make it $10. She then gave away that $10, which should equal $0. But it didn’t! Mysteriously, giving $10 left $10 in Jen’s wallet, then gave birth to a $50 bill!

That, my friend, is the crazy good power of generosity!  😃

It also proves that you don’t have to wait until you have hundreds or thousands to give.

Do you have a generosity story as “bananas” as this one? Tell me about it in the comments!

Maybe someone will take the bananas and note to an auction house and offer to sell for millions of dollars. 😀
