Let's Celebrate The Holidays By GIVING to Good Causes

Dr. Hattie N. Washington

Greetings, Family & Friends,

Can you believe that it is December already and

we are officially in the Holiday Season?

As we are planning to celebrate the Holiday,

let's ponder the real "Reason For The Season"

and that "Giving Is More Important Than Receiving".

Having said that, let's double our efforts and share our blessings

and "give back" to help our neighbors, friends, and other

less fortunate persons who are hungry, cold,

depressed, homeless, and feel hopeless during

the holiday season (and beyond).

I thank each of you, individually and collectively,

for your continuous support of me (and my causes),

for your words of encouragement, your book purchases,

book reviews, and other displays of Love.

As 2022 comes to an end, let's reflect on our lives,

our successes, and our areas to be improved in 2023

so it can be our Best Year ever.

Let's PLAN NOW to MAKE That Happen

by being DRIVEN2SUCCEED!

Love & blessings,

Hattie (Aunt Hattie)
