The Holiday Season Is Upon Us

Welcome to December! The year is winding down and I am setting my goals set for 2014. I am looking forward to some time off between Christmas and the New Year. I will be taking a well-timed break and spending time with family and friends.

One of the ways we are giving back this year is through a group my husband founded; they are taking donations of grocery store and Target gift cards for families in need. The group will be assisting the families in their holiday planning with groceries, a tree and gifts for their children.

Perhaps you can find time to visit an elderly neighbor and take a meal, visit a nursing home and provide toiletries, or just give the gift of time to someone in need.

Whatever you decide to do, I am sure you will give from the heart, and that is what the holidays exemplify.
