MaXIMIze - Gratitude - Sharing Thy Bounty

I meant to post this last week and didn't get that far…so y'all get two posts for the price of one this week!

I noticed the annual food drives have started for the holiday season - the kids' canned food drives, the various grocery stores offering a bag of groceries to buy and donate, even the local CSA - Farm Fresh to You - asking us to donate the box of food we will not be needing this holiday week. The local TV station - KCRA - had their annual turkey drive, and the Rocklin firefighters were collecting food in front of the WalMart grocery on Pacific Ave this AM. Also, the annual Coats for Kids and Sleep Train's drive for helping foster kids have started for the season.

One way we can show our gratitude is by sharing our abundance - our money, things and time - with those people and charities who embody our values and share our ideals with others.

Whether it is your local homeless shelter, food bank, animal shelter, place for homeless children and teens, or charities like Habitat for Humanity or Heifer International and other charities who empower others to help themselves, please consider showing your gratitude by sharing your abundance now and throughout the year.

With our next post, we will continue the gratitude theme. Namaste!
