Good Afternoon,
One more week until holidays and we are so excited to be able to spend some time with friends and family. The holidays can be a time of immense joy for some but can also be quite difficult for others. In this coming week, I would like you to think about those less fortunate than ourselves and reach out to give some time to volunteer or share a meal with someone who needs some joy and happiness. The holidays should be a time that we can share our gifts with others. We don’t have to spend money on things that might get thrown to the side. Give of yourself and receive the joy from those around you. Have a wonderful weekend and remember to spread love and kindness to make this world a better place!
