Thanks Be to Giving
We are at the time of year where we say thanks and graciously appreciate all that we have. I know it's been rough. I think this year has killed a lot of joy and spirit. A lot of us are struggling in ways we hadn't seen before and they can be both scary and disorienting. The best thing to do to remedy these feelings is to do something good. We are big believers in collective energy and we fear that is what the world is missing right now. That energy is also contagious, so if we all just tried to do something kind and good for others, perhaps we can shift this heavy dark energy?
Here's a start:
VOLUNTEER : Find a local charity and take a day with you, your family, your friends, whoever and go help an organization out.
FUNDRAISE : Hold a donation drive for your favorite local charity. Every bit counts so make it fun and festive while helping these organizations stay afloat.
WRITE A LETTER: Whether you send a card or write a letter, you won't believe what it feels like to see that in the mail amongst all the bills. It will make someone’s day!
DELIVER A MEAL: Make some baked goods or a simple meal to bring to others' doorsteps. It will be a delight for sure!
OFFER TO BABYSIT: Our friends with kids are so exhausted. They barely have time to spend with each other or do anything for themselves. Volunteer some time to babysit for your friends. They will appreciate the cherished time spent on adulting.
DRIVE BY COMPLIMENTS: One of our favorite TikTok things. Whether at a stop light, crossing the street, or in the grocery line give someone a compliment. The smiles are so worth it! Positive Catcalling if you will!
TEACH : Do you have a friend who is constantly needing help with a skill that you possess? Take a day and have a teaching session. This not only goes a long way, but you are giving something of great value to someone else.
It doesn't take much to be kind or to appreciate the things you have. Giving others the same will bring everyone to a better place.
We wish we could help everyone in need. It’s hard to decide who and what to give to. These are just a few we support currently and are campaigning for this year. Help us help others and pay it forward.
These three locals are in need of some help and support.
Spain is near and dear to my heart. DANA destroyed so much of this beautiful city.
We love our furry ones and we love Richmond Animal League for all they do to help them.
We are big believers in the future of our children and education is the root. Let’s make our schools stronger.
And of course, us as Realtors want to support building homes for those in need.
