I hope that everyone is able to find that perfect gift for their loved ones this holiday season, but as I say that it reminds me that there is really no way to wrap the gifts that are at the top of my list (health, happiness, and love for all my family and friends). I know many children write long lists that include the latest toys and technology, but I hope that somewhere on that list is a special wish for others. Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to plug local, small business. I plan on making as many local purchases as I can–there are just so many talented artists and crafters in our area–we must support them. If you would like to find that unique gift, be sure to stop by the Alternative Gift Fair this Sunday. I will be there selling and signing books at the Inlandia Institute’s table, and there will be many local artists and crafters selling their wares.
I checked the weather report and it looks like it will be a great day to shop outside. Please go to the facebook link for more details. I hope to see you there!
When: Sunday, Dec., 7, 2010
Where: Methodist Church, 4845 Brockton Ave, Riverside, Ca
Time: 11-3pm
Why: To support local authors and artists–and find that unique gift that you cannot find at Walmart.
