Ti's the season... show a little HEART.

No, it's not a joke... it's a tradition.
"Honest Ed's" is giving away free Turkey's this weekend! (Click on the link) Isn't that nice. Heck, just the thought says a lot. Sharing is caring.
They say Ti's the season to be giving but how many of us really do it?
That's a lot of love for a world that needs a little warmth.

I saw a homeless man pay for his own coffee the other day .
For a split second I thought he was begging but he reached into his pocket and poured the coins on the counter. I was in my own world, consumed by my own personal crisis and it wasn't until after I walked out that it "clicked"... I could have helped him out. My eyes welled up with tears. I wonder how many times something like that happens and no one even thinks twice. We all have busy lives and our own concerns and issues, don't we? But what's it to really GIVE?

To Give: To present voluntarily and without expecting compensation.

I realize that when people hear the word "give" they assume that it means "money" but that's not true. Believe it or not a SMILE can go a long way for someone having a rough day. Or just an "I LOVE YOU" to someone you care about. Our HEARTS are bigger than we think.

my book "heart" from me to you!

There are many things we can do FOR FREE that can brighten someones day: just lend a helping hand, a hug to a loved one, volunteer an afternoon or lunch hour to help out a charity, offer to shovel snow for the little lady next door or rake the leaves, or just offer your seat to someone else on the subway/bus/streetcar. Your time is the greatest gift, why not give a little? Make the time, to give the time of day to someone.

I guess you don't need a season to actually do this. It's much easier than we think.

Just open your HEART. :)
