our gift

To show our committment to making the world a better place, and as a gift to each of you (and, quite frankly, to put our money where our mouth...s...are), Matt and I have made a donation to every charitable organization that I mentioned on this blog.

Many of our friends and family already know that we've made donations in their names as gifts this year, and I hope that a few of you chose to do the same.

We won't be shutting down just because Christmas is over, though.  Matt and I have decided to keep this little philanthropic thread open for as long as their are worthy organizations to support.  And if there's one thing I have learned through this little experiment, it's that there is a whole world of people out there striving to make the world a better place - and we are going to keep trying to do our part.

Wishing you lots of love and peace, allison
