Give More Love in 2012

A lot of people are talking about what they hope to receive in 2012. More blessings. More money. More sales. More. More. More. 
   It's nothing wrong with wanting increase in your life. I want the same. But we also have to pause and make sure we give and that we are intentional about it. 
   This year I'm committing to give more love in 2012. I want to send more cards to my loved ones who I only get to see during the holidays. I want to volunteer more. I want to go the extra mile for my residents. I encourage you to look for ways you can do the same in your life. 


Here are 10 ideas for how you can give more love in 2012. 

1. Bake cookies for a friend
2. Write a letter to a high school teacher 
3. Give flowers to your housekeeper or a custodian
4. Take someone's dog for a walk
5. Give a couple of dollars to a homeless person
6. Pay someone's bus fare
7. Read to a child 
8. Talk with a senior at a nursing home
9. Call your mom and tell her you love her
10. Cook dinner and invite someone who doesn't have a lot of friends

New Cards at Coffee Grounds

These past couple of weeks have been overwhelming. My job as an Resident Advisor has intensified and I am at the point of the semester where it’s time to dig in my heels and step it up an notch. However, it’s also the time folks start their holiday shopping. This weekend was quiet - finally! I made a few new cards to take to Coffee Grounds, a St. Paul coffee shop where my cards are sold. 

Coffee Grounds is a neighborhood coffee shop near Como Park and Falcon Heights. A variety of artwork from local artists is featured like mittens and jewelry so stop by and do a some shopping and grab a cup of joe. Their address is 1579 Hamline Ave. in St. Paul. 

 I stocked several holiday cards for the approaching season. 

I have 24 types of cards from birthday to baby to holiday and I changed many of them out to give fresh inventory.

Stop by and pick up a couple cards. Support a local business. Get an early start on your holiday card shopping. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a splendid day. 

Yours Sincerely
