Mistress of the Mix: Thankful

Here’s your challenge: Discover the things you’re grateful for in your life and express it. Not just here (although I welcome your comments). Express it to those who deserve to know it in a thank you note extolling their virtues and singing their praises. Then wrap these little notes up with a ribbon and give them as as personalized holiday gifts that I guarantee will mean so much more to the recipient than a tin of peppermint bark or a hat & scarf set.

These simple, yet significant acts of grace could be the most meaningful gift you ever give.

OK, get to writing those thank you notes!

And while you’re at it, please enjoy these songs of gratitude on Grooveshark.
