Day 16: Day of Change
Chips make chunks. Inches make feet. Pennies make dollars. In the end, the small, and seemingly insignificant, adds up to equal something much larger. The coins that sit in the ashtray of your car isn't just change. They are tools of change. Yeah, I went their. Your CHANGE can create CHANGE. Many nonprofit organizations impact… Continue reading Day 16: Day of Change
Day 19: Vending Machine
Day 19 of our 25 Days of Giving was called Vending Machine. We left money and a short note on few vending machines around town. We wanted the next person who visited the machine to enjoy a free beverage on us. Our note simply said "enjoy a drink on us. Merry Christmas!" We were not… Continue reading Day 19: Vending Machine

Day 13: Fill The Red Kettle
It is Christmas time. Santa ho-ho-hos from his throne at the mall. Carolers sing fa-la-la-la-la while they deck the halls. Chestnuts crackle on an open fire.

There is another sound… Continue reading Day 13: Fill The Red Kettle
A Place for Grieving Children
Coping with the death of a loved one is never easy regardless of our age. As I have grown older, death has become more familiar. Over many years I have experienced first-hand the emotions and the sadness associated with the loss of grandparents, aunts and uncles, and dear family friends. Along the way, I have… Continue reading A Place for Grieving Children

Day 13: Fill the Red Kettle
Sing it with me: "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to give some change away today." Okay, that was really bad.
