The Season of Sharing is the best time to be RADICAL.

We are 43 days till Christmas day. Yet our country Philippines are going into a very difficult disastrous events and experiencing extreme calamity like Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) and 7.2 earthquake in Bohol. We can say that this quarter has the most pressure to all Filipinos. For this year, we are called to be radically different, to affect others to be radically different as well.

Instead of trying to curry favor with everyone by buying the most expensive Christmas gifts and getting into debt, take a deep breath and say goodbye to all that pressure.

Let's give gifts that count. Give gifts that have meaning. Give gifts that are priceless simply because it's impossible to put price tags on them. Now is the right time to "Give Yourself" - your time, your energy, your attention, your best for others.

These are few tips and ways when put into action, will make us happier and can help on our little ways that make a huge difference in the long run:

Give someone special in your life something that you really love - a shirt, a piece of jewelry a favorite book, CD or movie, pen, photo. It doesn't matter what it is. If it's meaningful to you, and you're meaningful to them,then whatever you give them will be meaningful too.

Give personal coupons / gift certificates for a movie date (expires in 6 months), carwash, back massage, ice cream sundae, take your trash out/do your chores for a week, etc.

Invite someone to go volunteering together. Set-up a garage sale or project for a cause. Go on medical missions, share your blessings to the victims of typhoon Yolanda. You'll be amazed at how life-changing it is.

Here are the top things needed by the victims of calamities:

Water
Food
Medicines
Clothings
Sanitation & Personal Hygiene Items
