Today Is #GivingTuesday, An Opportunity To Give Back
We are in a season of giving and receiving and it is better to give than receive. Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
Whether it be through a monetary donation or acts of service today is a day for all of us to give back a little of what we have been blessed with. For more info visit http://www.givingtuesday.org/ to see how you can give.
Hello December 2015, Let’s Do This!
So we are at the last month of the year. In a matter of days there will be holiday celebrations and the dawning of a new year…2016. Let’s finish 2015 strong and we have just a month to complete our 2015 new years resolutions. Have a great December everyone.
A Ramble About Politically Correct
I don’t have a problem with politically correct speech or behavior. For too long people had been given license to demean others. At some point it became a socially unacceptable to say what was in your mind without being challenged on it. I think we need to be sensitive and polite to everyone and to accept things have changed. So being politically correct is more about making people think about how they relate with others and how people are treated.
Writing Advice From A Fortune Cookie
As I said in my previous post we ate Asian food for dinner from our favorite nearby restaurant. In my fortune cookie it said…
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity.
I try to do all of these things but I am not always good at doing them. The advice here is sound and everyone can use it in their blogging or other writing. You could also throw a picture in or two to further tell the story.
So I Skipped Zumba
Tonight is usually Zumba night but I just wasn’t feeling it. I rarely skip because I made a commitment and also my instructor is a friend so I don’t want to disappoint her. After the weekend I had and also how I started my day by spilling some soup I just needed a night off. It’s OK to skip something every now and then, except work and jury duty…both of those things are hard to skip. We did get Asian food and are watching some TV. I hope to have a better day tomorrow.
