Charitable goals

Charitable and relatable goals

The emotional benefits of giving are underrated. I’ve recently been writing in my new

Planner some ways I want to give this year, hoping to not only feel connected to

My fellow human beings, but to let go and not be a Scrooge. It doesn’t have to be

Christmas, it can be every day.

We all get appeals to give when we are reading our emails or scanning social

Media. We see it on TV. We may hear it in church, or see it in our snail mail- at

Least I do. Some actually hit home a little. I just realized it doesn’t hurt and might

Bless me to pitch in what I can, responsibly

I’ve been setting goals and writing to do lists since Christmas.  It’s been a real shot in

The arm, like a burst of energy. I know what I want to do and how I am going to do

It. This is my solution to procrastination.

I’ve made some tangible progress decluttering some of the unused rooms in my

House. 1 box of thrift store donations of 2 and one bag of clothing have been taken

Out. Trash has been picked up. Recycling has also been removed. Space has been

Found in 2 different rooms. Slowly I am finding a home for items I’d just shuffled way back

In the attic and other rooms.

I’ve been using a planner I found online that really helps me to keep my life on track. It’s called the Christian Planner. The money I spent for it was worth it. I’ve got all my goals and aspirations in

One place. At glance I can see the roadmap of 2020. 

Christmas 2019

This past Christmas was special because my mom has moved in and it was really a treat to celebrate the season as a family. It was fun to stuff our stockings with little gifts. We even had guest to share a meal, which my mom helped cook.
My favorite part of the day was handing Christmas cards to my husband and my mother, although they didn’t have cards for me. They were surprised, especially my husband who hasn’t bought me greeting card in years. It was cool to see the joy my cards gave them.
I’m glad to say I saved when buying presents for my family, which I found online. I redeemed Amazon gift cards and spent my Paypal balance on some nice finds.  I use Bing Rewards, Swagbucks, and the fitness app Achievement to earn money online.  I highly recommend using these legitimate and dependable income streams.
