Get the spirit - volunteer in your time - 12/20/07 03:16 PM
Christmastime is insane, isn't it?  Half the time, we're so busy running around and worrying about insignificant things (like, do I have enough gifts, have I found something for everyone, etc.) that we forget to relax and really have spirit.  What I mean by spirit is this: time and inclination to reflect on blessings of the last year; time and inclination to look enjoy the people in your life.

Negative Media Coverage an issue? Plug for David Knox: a tip to pass along and info about his seminars and DVDs - 12/05/07 03:42 PM
