In the spirit of giving, Urban Referrals donated $500.00, for proceeds from December sales, to the Washington DC chapter of Dress for Success. Dress for Success is an organization which helps and supports women in career development.
Someone sent me this quote yesterday and I found it to be so powerful that I wanted to share it with you.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives
but are grateful for the abundance that’s present…
we experience heaven on earth.
-Sara Ban Breathnach
I read and re-read this quote to myself and found Sara to be right. We all tend to walk around thinking, talking, and describing all the negative things that are going in our lives and in the world at large. What if everyday was Thanksgiving? And we each took time to be present and aware and to be thankful for the things we do have. And to give to those that may not. If we all had the notion that giving is to be continual, not just something done on a special occasion, more of us would feel the good that comes from it. There is a definite peace and euphoria that comes from actions that enrich another human life.
We would love to hear about the donations (monetary or other) that our clients made in 2008 as it’s time to spread the word about good deeds vs. hearing doom and gloom all the time.
