Janna Audey: 12 Month Project

This is the season of giving. Of sharing.  And while often times that translates in the form of a gift or money, often times it is something intangible-- lending an ear to someone, holding a door, dropping a few bucks in the Salvation Army bucket.  I can't emphasize enough...no gesture is too small when it comes from the heart...

In our family, we made a decision last year to stop buying gifts for the siblings, as we all have enough. We are also older...I'm the youngest at 45 years old, with our oldest sibling at 56! :)  We realized there were others in our lives who need us more-- and I'm speaking about all resouces-- time, energy, space, and money.  I am planting a seed so that perhaps you will keep your eyes and ears open.  Maybe a neighbor was just diagnosed with an illness, and you can join in with your community peers and cook a meal or offer to take their kids for an hour or two?  Or maybe a coworker's spouse has been laid-off for months and months...and they could desperately use something simple like a giftcard to Giant?  This month's charity is up to you...there is no measuring stick, okay?  From holding the door to donating money...the canvas is blank and the brush is in your hands!  Have a joyful, healthy, and peaceful holiday season...
