My secret Santa sent me two beautiful gifts. The first one wrapped beautifully is the 'The Nesting Place'. It has had great reviews, and for someone who lives in a big city/small space and always working on keeping my space organized and homey, this is truly a great read.

The second, and the most thoughtful gift I have come across, is the $50 donation to Charity:Water which has programs globally, especially India. Growing up in India, I have seen the struggle to get potable, accessible water in villages and cities. It is still an issue, and any donation helps immensely.

KatelynLiz, you went above and beyond. And I send you blessings and great wishes for your generosity to you and your family. It is truly a season to give others what they truly need. Every donation counts.

Any of you reading this feel generous enough to spare a few extra dollars, please feel free to donate to Elephant Sanctuary, Anjellicle Cats (take cats off euthanasia list, help foster), Disabled Veterans, Food Bank NYC, City Harvest, Planned Parenthood, Toys for Tots, March of Dimes etc.

Disclaimer: I do not work for any of the above mentioned organizations. I donate to them every now and then. The real life Karma is worth it :)
