I wanted to share with you a wonderful idea called ChangingThePresent.org. Through this site, which partners with the world’s top not-for-profits, you can buy presents like one hour of a cancer researcher’s time, credits to offset 10,000 pounds of carbon emissions, the reintroduction one big cat, or the microcredit for one woman’s small business in Africa.

I have no connection to this site and don’t know the people who founded it but I think it’s an inspired and inspiring idea, especially at this time of year.

Happy holidays – and a better New Year!
