Gift Giving

I've always had a passion for gift-giving. I love the challenge of finding gifts that people love; something that surprises them and makes them smile. But as the cliche goes, in August I went to Africa and my perspective changed. A $50 goat can change the life of an entire family. But in North America we spend $50 on chocolates! My brain just can't comprehend it.

Don't get me wrong - I still enjoy shopping and enjoying material things. But if I'm going to give someone a gift, I would like for it to serve a bigger purpose somehow.

I found Christmas shopping this year particularly challenging, and found myself wandering through the mall not knowing what to do with myself.

I think next year, everyone is getting a goat.

I hope the hoildays fill you with Love & Laughter!!
