You won’t see me asking for too much in my blog. But every once and awhile, something will touch me. I don’t mean to be preachy, but please allow me to get on a soap box for the folks suffering in Southern Asia.

Please consider making a donation today. It’s the end of the year and if you itemize, you’ll get a tax deduction to go along with that big warm feeling you will get knowing you helped someone who was suffering.

If you are going to give, please give wisely. Give to an organization that is dedicated to giving more then 90% of every dollar directly to programs and victims. One charity that my husband and I believe in… is Mercy Corps. Mercy Corps is based here in the Pacific NW and in Scotland. And they have a long history of maximizing the impact of every dollar given. They already have a small team on the ground and were one of the first responders to the Tsunami Disaster.

Of course the most important message is simply to give. It’s so easy to let inertia take over isn’t it? So take this moment to find a charity to give to. And then whatever charity you choose be knowledgable about the charity you are gifting through.

Please consider giving today. No amount is too small. It’s most important to just choose to do something.

Thanks.
