Mixmas 2008 is brewing and almost ready to send. I'm a little early this year but I nearly had this year's entire mix done last year, and I threw it out and did a different one. Now I just have to lick the stamps and write some cards. This may be my last mix for a while; I'm trying to focus on real writing (as opposed to blogging) in the new year.
I know I've been a little quiet lately, but it's United Way Month in Denver so my marketing team and I are at maximum capacity until Thanksgiving's over. Our CEO has been on the local news channels nearly every other day for the past couple weeks. Matter of fact the photo I took at right (Speer Blvd) is our Christmas card this year.
If you or your families have decided not to make donations to charities this Christmas while cutting back on spending, just keep in mind the people living in poverty or who just lost their jobs need help more now than EVER. The shelters, churches and motels are going to be packed not just with the homeless, but with the new homeless -- middle class folks whose homes were foreclosed this year. If you can't give anything this season, at least consider giving a portion of your stimulus check when it comes next year. Or just buy 100 cans for 10 cents a piece to give to the Food Bank collections. One farmer in Colorado made an inspiring choice that I hope will be contagious.
Thanks for thinking about it.
Merry November!
