12 Ways of Giving This Holiday Season
I have been deeply touched by the children in my life. One who sees things from a different angle than most and one that sees things with much compassion. I was walking with him the other day at the store and he asked me: "why don't people help others who are on the street?" I shared with him that most people want to help, but that there is not always enough time and there is not always enough resources. He felt that there was judgment passed towards these people as that is what he has heard from some other adults in his life when he has asked to help them... I acknowledged that sometimes that is also the case, unfortunately... But I also honestly believe that most of us genuinely want to help others. But knowing how and where to help can be a task in itself... Since most are overburdened with work and life, we would help and do the research. Please reference the links and information below, on ways to help. As there are many organizations working hard to help others, I am positive that I missed noteworthy causes. Please simply provide links and information to our Facebook Page and continue to "Share" the information amongst your "friend" lists. And to each and everyone this Holiday Season, may your life be filled with warmth, safety, and love. Warmest wishes to you and yours.... Laura Ledbetter EHL Insurance
Don’t let the giving spirit end at the Holidays. Most organizations have year round efforts to help. | |||||||||||||||||

Black Friday Madness
I have only participated in an "official" black Friday shopping trip once in my life. It was 8 years ago and I remember going to Target and getting some amazing deals on baby toys. I thought to myself "I'm going to do this EVERY year"! But the next year came around and I could not find childcare at that time of the morning and certainly wasn't going to drag my toddlers out of the house at 4 am, so I skipped it. The same thing happened the next year, and then I just wrote it off as another day I would rather be sleeping in. A couple of years ago I discovered "Cyber Monday" (Black Friday's internet sister) and at the convenience of my computer I could buy the desired must-have swag. This year, as I ponder the heavier than usual (price and weight...) ticket item that I want to buy, I am considering hitting the road on November 25 and participating in that craze, that madness, that insane mess of a shopping day called Black Friday. Upon mentioning this out loud, my co-workers enthusiastically shared their best strategies; know exactly what you want and do research ahead of time; get the paper and check out all the adds; split up - your desired item might be sold out at one store, but not at another, so bring a friend and they can stand in line for you until you get there! I am doing my due diligence and reading all the websites dedicated to giving you advice on Black Friday. Here are my take-aways: plan your route, make a list of what you want and where it is located, if you walk into the store with a partner - one of you can get in line immediately while the other shops. If this all sounds unappealing to you, you can shop online...or go back to bed. * If you have Black Friday shopping experiences or advice, I'd love to hear it. Please post on our Facebook page. |
