** Your Money
------------------------------------------------------------
$54,000,000,000
That's $54 billion with a B.
That's how much charitable giving happened in the last three days of 2019.
Sounds to me more like a deadline rush than a well-thought out, well-intentioned gift. This being the week of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share an article that may help add some intentionality to the charitably inclined:
1. Engage family members
2. Giving through the business? Engage stakeholders.
3. Look through two lenses: impact on the community and impact on the family
4. Go deep, not wide
5. Give to smaller, local organizations
6. Do you research
7. Give boldly and take risks
8. Ask for help

** Your Life
------------------------------------------------------------
AARP recently published an article that can help you prepare for your holiday plans during COVID-19. They pulled together medical experts from around the US to answer many of your questions like:
* Can a relative still make you sick after they have recovered from COVID-19?
* Are you immune if you have recovered from COVID-19 earlier in the year?
* What rules should I put in place for my family if I host the Holiday gathering?
* Does COVID-19 really pose a threat if my entire family are in excellent health?
* Are our holidays ruined?
It’s definitely worth reading.
