What would I do if I won the lottery?  

I asked this of my husband and he said, “Easy. Charity.” 

And he’s right.    

I truly enjoy the act of giving and helping others.  

But that does not always have to involve money.  

And this time of year can be challenging. Especially when we are trying to satisfy holiday expectations and to give those in need. 

If monetary giving is not an option what can we do? 

Lean into your community.  

The above hero shot is the Do Good December Calendar from Action For Happiness. A simple plan to carry out small acts of kindness.   

Whatever you may call it: Charity. Spread the love. Pay it forward.  

(not unlike the 2000 Haley Joel Osment film) 

Let those acts lead you through to the new year.  

Take action to be kinder together.  

  

Much love
