The Old Man’s Hat

The charity list is growing.

I secretly hoped that when the time came to publish the charity directory, we would have around 100 charities to include. Sometimes expectations accomplish little more than a basis for disappointment.  However, as of today there are 56 comments on the Charity Directory Post, some leaving more than one suggested charity for donating your “Christmas change.”

I cannot thank you enough.  And while I’m here, and while your reading, I need to take this opportunity to thank the ladies at (in)courage.  They sent many of you this direction this weekend, tagging the  Mother Letter Project as the “gutsy girl” for the week.  I certainly appreciate the piece by the (in)courage team and the many of you who came from their site to nominate your favorite charity.  I also appreciate their infinite sense of irony.  Take a minute to visit them, read their previous “gutsy girls” posts, and browse their site to see if there is some small way you can step out and (in)courage.  Thanks ladies!

Finally, you should know that something is brewing.  It’s collaborative.  It’s big. And we will want you to be a part of it. Start asking yourself whether you are ready for Christmas Change.  Are you ready for a season of change?  Are you ready for return?

And while you ponder the riddle and mystery, keep submitting your favorite charities, and asking your friends to hop over and submit theirs.  After all,

Christmas is coming.  The goose is getting fat.

Hope I wasn’t too late with my charity submission… http://www.hopeaid.org. Great idea to compile a directory!
