Honoring the Spirit of Christmas 365 Days a Year

Myspace Stuff

Christmas is just around the corner. It's amazing how much nicer everybody is to each other during this season, with the exception of shopping crowds :D! Why can't we be a little kinder all through the year. Here are a just a few ways that we can ;

Give Back - There are lots of ways to give back to your community and to the world that are free and inexpensive. There are several posts throughout this blog that will tell you how to do so, these are just a few examples ; A, B, C, D, E, F,
Just Be Kind Whether it's a Random Act of Kindness or just smiling at a neighbor or the people you meet each day-or saying a kind word. It can really make a difference in someone's life.
Lend an Ear Sometimes all someone needs for a person to listen to them.
Develop an "Attitude of Gratitude" Whether we list our blessings in a journal as Oprah suggested or just become more aware of them, it can change our perspective and how we relate to others.
Put Someone Else First One of my favorite Acronyms from childhood is J-O-Y(Jesus first, others second, yourself last)/. Putting others first can be as simple as playing with your child when you have a lot of chores to do(they'll keep),or letting others ahead of you in line or in traffic. Don't wait until Christmas to call or write friends and family.
Take A Moment For You Whether it's to set aside time for prayer, or just to relax and breathe. It can help you throughout each day.

It's Time for NaBloPoMo!

What in the heck is NaBloPoMo? It's BlogHer's challenge to write a blog every day in November. To learn more, check out the NaBloPoMo site and my latest post on Ccol4him's Claymania, my other blog. I just joined the challenge and hope you'll enjoy this diversion and ride along with me.

The prompt for today is "When you are writing, do you prefer to use a pen or a computer?" . As I said in my other blog, I usually prefer writing on computer because it is usually more legible for others to read than my handwriting. However, for personal cards and letters-handwriting just adds a special personal touch. The person who receives such a note will treasure it and respect the time you spent to think of them. If you are in a hurry and want to send such a note, you can always type everything but your signature.
What do you think, readers and do you think you could take this challenge?

Homepage Heroes-A New Search Site for Charity

A reader recently recommended Homepage Heroes and I have started a searchpage to raise funds for the National Inclusion Project. It operates similar to GoodSearch, but you can customize the background with one of theirs or your own-see the website to sign up and for picture details.
