City

For those of who do not live by a city or at least a major one, let me fill you in on a little something. I am amazed by those who have grow up by them and do not know how to blend in with the people and to not stand out for the people on the street! I am seriously amazed. The weekend I went into the city twice, well I should say the city was New York City. Sorry for me it is "the city", we forget others out there exist. The second night I had gone it was smooth however one person did not know to not speak to those who talk to everyone on the street or you'll be trapped in awkwardness of turning them down, for them following you for blocks. Well this one friend would engage in conversation. So we were followed, thank God we were in Time Square at this point so the following couldn't last with all the crowds of people. Then on our way to see the Rockefellar Tree, she gets stopped and has someone draw her photo. Mind you she stopped being at the end of the pack so we are calling her and she is ignoring the calls. We are thinking the worse. Then she finally answers and asked why we were calling.
Anyway just a message from experience think of who you are going with before going. Tis all. Merry Christmas!

Charities

I am reaching out for some serious help. I am trying for this years christmas to instead of giving my family gifts I am going to donate the money I would have instead spent on a present, as a gift to someone else in need. Now how many more things do we seriously need? With a gift it something we are given and try and find something for it. I know that I think sometimes my life I need something else and so on. However I am truly blessed. I have a roof over my head, a car, job, and am getting an education. Some don't have all of that or any of that. What do I have to complain about? I have been looking up charities and so far these are the ones sticking out to me:
Baal Dan Charities
American Red Cross
Invisible Children
These are ones that I have found so far. I am not cut off to any. I am new to finding an organization. Right now I am in the mind set of a well know organization to be used as a gift. However I would also like to find a charity to donate to ever month. Please share or let me know which one would be best.
