This past Thanksgiving, Austin Kleon, the author of "Steal Like an Artist" and other inspirational books, shared a free gratitude journal via his weekly email newsletter. (Please view that clever, hand-drawn journal here:

What's on The Menu? Giving Back
December 8, 2022
While drinking Athletic, a non-alcoholic (fake!) beer, I noticed that its box proclaims that it gives back 2% to local trails. I love walking trails, and I thought: the next time I venture to have a sober night, I’ll pick up another box of Athletic. (Thanks, Athletic, for giving out $2.5m in trail grants.) Warby Parker gives a pair of eyeglasses for each pair bought (they've given 10m pairs!), while Bombas does this for socks. Bookshop.org gives a percent back to small ...

When we think of Valentine's Day is it about romance?  Gratitude? Love, or just Love of chocolate ?  I  keep calling it Mother's day, so we pose the question: Is this a psychological slip? As I am a mother, is this just wishful thinking? Can we include Mom's?  Anyway, it is coming up on February 14 and we wonder if you have thought about what to give your dear one, be it a lover, a family member,  or a friend , (other than a foot massage or three un-interrupted hours of&...
