From my family to yours I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas.  As I said in last nights post, please take this time to truly enjoy your family and to truly create memories because in the end the christmas dinner (no matter how the ham or turkey turned out), the plastic toys, and all the gifts dont matter much if it wasnt for family.

Its easy to be jaded with the wonderful life you have, its easy because you take it all for granted – there is no doubt in my mind that 90% of the people I know just live each day like the last and forget the true meaning of this holiday. This holiday season is important to me because of a recent health scare I had… I kid you not – I almost wasnt here today to tell you about why its important to be thankful, to appreciate your love ones, and most of all take time to slow down.

Now that the kids are off from school you’ll be ready to jump off a bridge play with them. I figured this might help those that are starting to run out of ideas…

What you’ll need… Empty Jar with Tight Lid (Baby food, apple sauce, and olive jars are good choices.) Distilled Water (bottle is better, just not greener) Super Glue or hot glue (with hot glue gun) Kid’s Toy/keepsake (Look for plastic or ceramic figurines – metal ones are prone to rust) White and/or silver glitter or fake snow or you could use Sequins, Beads, Glitter, Metallic Confetti, etc. dish soap (clear) or glycerin More >

One thing that I’ve always been in my life is giving… I’ve been working in non-profits and Not-for-profits all my professional life, its really one of the struggles I have in my head – do good for many or do good for myself – they seem to be at odds.

Teaching our children about charity even in times like these are important… Usually this is done through school’s community service programs or through a religious school sponsorship of event or their own requirements to give back to the charity.

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of charity fund raising for the last 2-3 months its been for the More >
