Double Your giving: Give hope for the future.
At this time of year our mailboxes are jammed with requests for charitable giving. It can be overwhelming choosing where to give. Here are two of my suggestions for charities that keep on giving:
Heifer International is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance & sustainability. You can select meaningful gifts and holiday cards that both give to those you love while giving hope and help to children and families around the world by providing training and animal gifts that help them become self-reliant. More info: www.heifer.org
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children. You can choose gifts that make a difference in saving the lives of children, no matter what their family's circumstances, by ordering from St.Judes' The HOPE catalog. More info: hshop.stjude.org
How you give is as important as what you give, learn more here.
You're Invited: Become a leader for a greater tomorrow. Write me about what you're doing to Be Authentic in your life, workplace and the world at Widening the Circle. If you are so moved, please include your recommendations to share with other readers.

Getting to the Real Meaning of the Holidays and Life
| I'm working all day and I'm working all night, to be good-looking, healthy, and wise. And adored, contented, brave and well-read. And a marvelous hostess, fantastic in bed. And bilingual, athletic, artistic.-Won't someone please stop me? |

There's been so much talk about being authentic these days, yet it is so hard to come by. Perhaps it is because for far too many years we've so entrusted the conveying of titles and credentials, the corner office, the right address or school as the "be all end all". It appears that for many of us, we've forgotten the importance of being truly ourselves…trusting and sharing our own authenticity with those who keep us in business and with those who keep the home fires burning.
As we move towards the 4th quarter solstice, with the holiday season in full throttle, I am reminded of the real meaning of the holidays and life itself. Did you know that "Solstice" comes from an ancient Latin word meaning to stop, or to stand still? With all the holiday parties, the lists of gifts to buy and cards to write, we tend to go on auto-pilot, forgetting the power of stopping and reflecting on what truly matters. Yet isn't that what this season is all about? |

When was the last time you took time to just "be"?
Where in your life and work do you need to be more authentic?
Who needs to hear you say I love you or I value you?
