12 Days of Giving-add your name here

In the spirit of the holidays, I want to give something back. To you, my readers, but also to others.

Here's the deal. Every day for the next 12 days, I'm going to challenge you to 'give'. Not necessarily financially, because, yeah, I know that's tough at times. But we really are fortunate to enjoy many things. As I end off 2010 and head toward the New Year, I want to finish strong.

So yes, I have a few gifts for you, but I also have 3 big gifts. $100 donated in your name to the charity organization of your choice. See, I give away lots of books through the year, and I will give some now as well, but I think being able to let you give to someone else is going to make us both the happiest.

In order to qualify to be selected you don't have to meet the challenge for the day– those are strictly for fun and encouragement. I hope you do join in and share some love. But to be entered, simply add your name to this comment list along with the name of the organization you would like the money to go to if you are one of the three randomly selected.

This is an international giving opportunity- I don't care where you live. I hope that you will join me in this celebration of giving.

And come back tomorrow for the first challenge.
