    Humanities  | Random Acts of Kindness by: JB Radcliff image: pixabay.com Humanities – The simple things in life matter the most. Providing clean water, food, and aid to those in need, to name a few. Collaborating with like-minded businesses, individuals, churches, and organizations, one person at a time, to make a difference has a rippling effect.  How we pass along those attributes of giving to the next generation is a secondary gift.  Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your modus operandi & change your world. ~Annie Lennon Random acts of kindness help to “feed your soul”. It is in the doing of kindness that you find contentment in…

    Gather and Give before you Gift.   Happy is the shopper who knows how to Gather and Give before you Gift. Learn about the Bucket of 3 G’s: Gathering, Giving, and Gifts. The three G’s could l help you to lose the guilt this year.   Let’s start by addressing the Scrooge in the house. “He’s a mean one, Mr. Scrooge.” At some point, we all suffer a little bit of Scrooginess. But even he developed a heart at the end of the show, and hopefully, others can too. So there is hope. He’s a mean one, Mr. Scrooge Giving without guilt is a real challenge for many.  The who, when, why, and…

    Social Advocacy – Be the Solution

    /

    The end goal needs to be written first.  It all comes back to a backward-design process.  A process that helps professionals be able to make the best decisions. Decisions that will provide someone else with the best possible outcome for life. SOCIAL ADVOCACY Social advocacy is a process. Often, it is the humanitarian that we have to train first. We train them to be able to make meaningful referrals, and why we make them.  It may take time, but by learning why, who, and when to make referrals, you may save a life.  You guard your community. While my background is inconsequential, I do understand enough to know when to…

    Humility During Adversity

    Humility During Adversity Trying to remain humble and calm during times of adversity is a tough call. Humility During Adversity is a tough call. Especially when everyone around you is fighting mad, or suffering from some disappointment somewhere in their career or personal life. A working office environment has emotion and life to it. You are not immune to what goes on there. You also are not immune to the politics inside and outside of your office. It would be nice if we could just shut out the political rhetoric – but often it seeps in when we least want it there. Add a political campaign cycle to an already…

    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.

    When Happiness Catches Your Eye

    /No Comments

    Taking life one beautiful step at a time, and allowing happiness to catch your eye – what a great way to live.  We have to pull away from those moments of doubt and confusion and focus our thoughts on our true purpose. We have to allow ourselves to be generous, kind, and forgiving.  When we really search out those things that give us joy we find a new meaning, a new purpose – a reason to go on. When happiness catches your eye, linger on the moment without jumping to the next moment.  Spend time relaxing and drinking in the calm.  Live in the moment. Live in the moment We…
