    The Power of Words

    /No Comments

    The Power of Words The words we choose to get our point across can be mighty in their delivery or conveyed in the simplest of form. Whether mighty or simple it’s the actions behind those words that make them effective or ineffective. Words are meant to convey something or prompt action. Those words could be power selling, resume words, inspirational words, words that hurt, mind blowing words, healing, moral, ethical, or inspiring words, etc. When we combine lists of power words with the use of social media in the work place, who benefits the most from their usage? This is a question that a lot of organizations struggle with today.…

    Social Advocacy – Be the Solution

    October 8, 2024
    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.

    Social Media – What’s your Hook

    /No Comments

    Social Media – What’s your Hook? What makes your company stand out in the world of social media?  Are you stumped for an answer?   I guess we could ask our presidential candidates on both sides, the same question. They would of course say  they are “ALL” winning the  debates being presented on the digital front.   The one attribute they all seem to possess is an aggressive one.  They attack everything  with a “WIN” mentality. When planning out your own social media campaign you need to have the same “WIN” mentality.  If you are too focused on upsetting your followers, due to a cultural fit, or afraid of  appearing to be too…

    Does Facebook finally have enough emojis

    /No Comments

    Back to the Drawing Board / High School -Does Facebook finally have enough emojis — or would you like “dislike” Where is the most unlikely place to learn out about technology?  How about a high school  classroom filled with 9th – 12th-grade level students? Well, that is exactly where I went to ask the question … “Does Facebook finally have enough emojis — or would you like “dislike”? Yes they all have a cell phone, and yes, they have some NEWS for the new “emojis”. FEEDBACK CHAT  First off,  the thought of negative feedback in this day and age is almost to the toxic stage.  Just look at the political landscape, and you can envision all…

    For Sale Yahoo Hoo Hoo – the old days

    Who ever buys up Yahoo needs to have some solid symmetry in its core operations  The little guy (gal)  For Sale Yahoo-Hoo-Hoo. I have this great Word Press Avalda Theme that I’m dying to get working again.  It was working – and then poof! Unfortunately for me, Yahoo Small Business, that is  now going by the name of Aabaco Small Business,  has PHP and SQL antiquated  services.    Up until just recently, that was my biggest beef with Yahoo.  Aabaco  has inherited the problems with this  disproportionate   service, that includes web hosting, selling online, marketing, domains, mail, etc. My  measly $39 dollars a quarter is all wrapped up in the  “maybe we’ll…
