Something more important must take precedent over myself or fashion. Helping those in need is a responsibility we all must take part in. Here are a few way you can help those suffering in Haiti:
1.To donate $10 to the Red Cross, text-enabled users simply text "Haiti" to 90999, and 100% of the money is passed through to the Red Cross
2. text donation efforts are underway, including one backed by musician Wyclef Jean, the CTIA noted. To donate $5, text users simply text "Yele" to 501501.
3. the Clinton Foundation, started by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, has set up a $10 donation by texting "Haiti" to 20222.
Give till it hurts!!!

What Are You Thankful For?
With the big turkey day right around the corner, think about your call to action. We have a lot to be thankful for this year. No matter what you situation may be, it could always be worse! Try to find a way to give back this season and pass on some of the blessings you've received. Here's a few options to get you going:
1. Reading is fundamental! Go to your local library and read to the kiddies, they'll love you for it!
2. Food for thought! Locate you area food bank and donate non-perishables or donate you time by helping them meet the demand for the holiday. I can guarantee they'll be happy to have you!
3. Think big! Organize your own toy and/or food drive at work or school or among friends and families. If cooking is your strength, start a raffle to win a personal chef for the day/week for the person/family the contributes the most. If not cooking, offer your services to do some holiday shopping, cleaning, etc. what ever it takes to get 'em hooked!
4. Baby, it's cold outside! Gently used coats, clothing, shoes and linens are essential to homeless shelters. Unfortunately there may be more people living in these shelters or on the streets this year that could truly use any and all you can give.
When thinking of what you are thankful for, don't forget that many other would love to have all those little things we take for granted each day. If you have any other ideas or suggestion send them in and I'll spread the word!
