Tis the Season

The holidays always gets me mushy gushy about how thankful I am for everyone and everything around me and that I have been blessed with. For the people who know me, you know where I work and what I do, the people I come into contact with, and what I witness on a daily basis. PEOPLE- GIVE THANKS for what you have. It truly is rare and a blessing. There are so many other people out there who don't have an ounce of what we have. So this season, as we splurge our money on gifts that we think are "adequate" lets remember what others who are not as fortunate are receiving this year.

It's that time to pick a donation center, volunteer, and give back to the community. Send a care package to military men and women overseas. Adopt a family. Serve food at a food bank. Do whatever your heart desires... but I'm going to be that advocate to say... STEP IT UP!

Speaking of good causes... one of my very good friends Julie has a fundraiser for the Kanzius Foundation. Take a gander at her page where it says it all and give back to raise awareness for lung cancer! http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/juliebohling/helpfulphiljuliesrunsandfundraisingof2012

In honor of the holiday season... I feel it is important to list what I am most thankful for and my highlighted moments of the year. Shall we?
