A few weeks ago, I wrote (video'd) about how giving can help change one's mood & outlook: GUARANTEED: How To Feel Great During The Holidays & Beyond. In it, there's a challenge to all to give of themselves to local charities.
Today, I got to write my first donation check as a result of the pledge I made via Homes4Hope - boy did that feel good! It has been a stressful week, and didn't even really get to enjoy the closing I had, due to one crisis popping up after another...but taking a moment to go by my newly adopted local charity to give my donation helped wash the stress away.
It doesn't matter whether it is only a few bucks or a few thousand...our local charities are in severe need this year and next. Due to the economy, corporate and large donations are way off while needs are way up. If enough of us "little people" can give just a little bit more it will make a big difference - to the charities, the lives they help and to each of us individually.
Here's to a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or whatever you choose to celebrate - the Merry part is yours to make...and the happiness is yours to share!
