MIND. BODY. SOUL.
Holidays come and go, but they aren't the only to remember and give back to those who need help from others. Giving is a year round present for those who need us. I used to give once a year (Christmas time) to the ASPCA as my one large sum donation. Animals (as most of you ...
Recently I wrote about something that meant more than a vacation to me - helping a puppy (6 months old) get surgery so it had a chance to walk and more-so get a chance to be adopted by a loving family. I donated the money and Pink - now known as Phoebe - is recovering ...
After getting into my thirties, I'm finally someone who can save properly and have little to no debt on a regular basis. Not bragging - it's an achievement which took a long time to get to. I am proud of it. I am able to go on regular small vacations and usually one big trip ...
Most of us...or at least I'd like to believe...want to leave this world a better place. They want to make an impact. They want to leave a legacy. They want to help people, the earth, and make life a little bit better for themselves, their family, and those that they leave behind. We want a ...
Written by blog contributor, Sonia Sahota. Have you ever looked back and thought about what you were doing one year or even three years ago? What memories brought you back to your happiest moments?

Written by blogging contributor, Audrea Laffely. Back in the fall, I wrote about my desire to volunteer more and finding a way to give back and help out my community. I had said I would follow up and report back on what I had learned, so I felt it time to give an update. Since I wrote ...

We ensure we eat get some good sleep (hopefully) eat well (hopefully), and that we get some exercise (hopefully), etc. But throughout the day we are also without sometimes realizing, giving ourselves to others - our jobs, our significant others, our kids, our ...
Written by contributing blogger - Daniela Forte As I am getting older, giving back means so much more to me. I want to spread kindness wherever I can these days because so many people could use it, even a little dose. Over the holiday season, I did something I do yearly, which was gift wrap presents for ...
There are times when someone reaches out in need of a hand, and you think to yourself...sigh, I'm tired. I really don't feel like reviewing that resume, making that introduction, or going out for that coffee to discuss their needs. If you are truly THAT busy, and don't have the energy to give your undivided attention, ...
Giving back (link) isn't just about throwing a check or two during the holidays. Most of us are pretty fortunate. We have a roof over our heads, a job, and friends/family who care about us. That in itself is more than a lot of people (and animals). Unfortunately, our lives get pretty busy and we lose ...
