This post is more of a free rant. If you will, consider just how fortunate we are. We are in the midst of the worst financial crisis since, some say, the civil war, some say the great depression. And because we live in the Pacific Northwest, we are late to "the party" (some party).
In any event, between the Feds, the stock market, and the media, I see things beginning to turn, so I want to reach out and promote that each of us consider making a contribution to somebody MUCH less fortunate.
In order to stimulate that idea, I have found this website, Kiva.org that is a micro lending site, that in a great way, leverages the power of the internet to connect people who need help with people willing to give help.
If you are reading this post, please make a contribution here.
I am committed to micro lending. It is a truly great way to help again and again and again. The evidence supporting micro lending is overwhelming. This is the very best way to help women in the third world self actualize.
Merry Christmas to you - Happy Hanukkah too. Whatever you celebrate this holiday season, I hope that you will be safe, healthy, and find yourself prosperous next year!
Happy New Year.
