Donate to China and Myanmar
I often think about donating my time and money for a good cause but I don't always do it. Does that ever happen to you?
Life is busy. Life is full. Life is complicated. I get sidetracked. Or I get stingy. Or I just plain forget.
But I have a roof over my head and food on my table and I can afford gas for my car. I am very, very, very grateful for the wonderful life that I have and for the opportunities that I've been given.
Sometimes I need a little nudge, a reminder, that a little money goes a long way.
One of my favorite inspirational websites www.tut.com is starting a great program called "Gifts from the Universe" and this month they are highlighting the Global giving Relief Funds for China and Myanmar. Click here to donate. I just did.
It's easy. It's fast. And it matters.
The saying "Think Globally, Act Locally" is a good one but I also think that "Think Globally, Act Globally" is equally important in these trying times.
