    How to Overcome that Career Hiccup – One Hiccup at a time

    /No Comments

    How to Overcome that Career Hiccup – One Hiccup at a time Everyone has one – that career hiccup.  The first thing I found out about myself after my career hiccup was that I had the ability to write whatever I wanted to, and not feel minimized by it.   I also no longer had to sit through those painful Monday morning meetings that felt like I was in a torture chamber.  It was a one-man show in those meetings, and no one was allowed an original idea.   All creativity was dismissed until it was needed by someone else: but by that time they had already put someone else’s name…

    Humanitarian Giving - If it isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong. There is any number of articles out there about giving to charities. The best kind of articles, are the ones that show you what giving has done to help someone else. It's seeing the smiles and heartfelt thank you's coming from the recipients. Be it someone old, young, homebound, sick, or impoverished - it feels good to give. It can actually be fun to give. Meeting the needs of providing a normal family life is difficult for some. Offering to help isn't and shouldn't be a handout - but rather a hand up with the support of a caring giver. Anne Frank famously wrote, “No one has ever become poor by giving.” How does one choose whom to give to, and what? It doesn't have to be a hard decision. Think on your own past and remember the moments in life that made you feel the most accepted, at peace, and understood. What made you feel that way? Give that way. You may know who you are giving too, then again, you may not. You may want to give anonymously - the best gifts are the ones in which you will receive nothing in return. The gift of giving is a gift in-and-of itself. Giving to others is a gift you give yourself. Yet it helps another human being to feel happy and grateful. It eases a heavy burden and lifts a heart. Giving to others is a gift you give yourself. Looking for some Creative Ways to Give? Check out the list below: Answer A Child’s Letter To Santa Buy a cell phone and talk-time for a soldier. Donate frequent flyer miles you have accumulated to help a needy family. Donate your credit card rewards points. Donate your vehicle to charity. Financially Struggling Families need help with utilities and decent clothing Gift A Gift To A Kid In The Hospital- “A gift of toys, games or activity supplies can make a big difference to children and families spending time in the hospital.” Give A Foster Child A Holiday Gift Give A Gift To A Child In A Youth Corrections Facility Give A Gift To A Child Living In A Crisis Give A Gift To A Child Living In Poverty Give A Gift To A Child With A Deployed Parent Give A Gift To A Homeless Kid Give a pair of glasses when you buy two for one Give a pair of shoes when you buy two for one Give Barn animals to needy families in different countries Give a gift card to your local store Give to a random fund (or adoption fund ) Give to St. Judes Hospital for children Give to your local food bank Help a child with a cleft lip at Operation Smile. Help save African and Asian elephants. Offset your carbon footprint. Organize your own fundraiser and donate to your favorite cause. Sell stuff on eBay for charity. The Ronald McDonald House provides housing to families of children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. SAMARITANS PURSE Shoebox distribution - Operation Christmas Child provides gifts to children in need each year. Volunteers are asked to pay $25 and pack a virtual “shoebox” of gifts for a child including essentials like a toothbrush, a “wow gift” and small gifts like a ball or a car, and a note and a photo if you so choose, or you can just donate $25 to have the organization build a shoebox for you. There are many families in America who may not be homeless or starving, but they're struggling. Help with a month or two on their mortgage or utilities. This might be what it takes to get them back on their feet during the winter months. Give your time by serving food to the needy “If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.” Mother Teresa Help a family get their car running so they can go to work Give school supplies to your local schools Donate to a school who need jerseys and other athletic equipment Give to your local churches and charities that support the homeless and needy Re-gifting items that could help a family who doesn't have things like a refrigerator or other large household items. The size of your charitable gift isn't as important as the very act of giving itself. Because, you know what, it involves you. It involves you giving and helping. There is a saying, "Give out of your need." Also "To whom much is given - much will be required" Both are important humanitarian ways of thinking. "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." ― Charles Dickens. Reach out and find that charity that gives you the greatest sense of "HOPE" for humanity. It begins one person at a time. Starting with you, and me. Humanitarian Giving - if it isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong. Have some fun giving this year & warm another's heart by giving.

    Humanitarian Giving – If it isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong.

    Have You Ever Fired Yourself to get a better attitude?

    /No Comments

    Have You Ever Fired Yourself? Have you ever come home and “fired yourself”?  Somedays are like that, and it takes us a long time to unwind from those moments that are a dig at our self-confidence.  Rebounding from those moments of self-disclosure is important. The day I allowed someone to steal my work. I had to start over and learn to trust again. I had to let go of the old me, and lean on the new me. In a working environment, I’m of the conclusion that if you aren’t in on key decisions and one of the movers and shakers, the fault may lie with them. “Them” being those…
