What is called for in this world of ours is to try to exemplify and articulate the potential of our humanity.

I’ve decided to re-wind a few of my 2006 posts that focused on giving to those who need us:

Because I love him, I will leverage every opportunity I can to mention anything that Bono is up to.

At the moment he is involved with Product Red , and I hope you find a great new red sweatshirt this year.

Of course it isn’t only humans who need our help, I put together a list of organizations that also help buildings and dogs.

And because I also love my home state and therefore, Mr. Springsteen — I’d like to mention The New Jersey Food Bank Organization — because donating is often about your time, as much as your cash.

And that being which needs our help the most, of course is our Planet Earth. Do whatever you can.

So…a fabulous New Year’s Eve post, coming soon.

Safe and happy holidays everyone.

Season’s Meanings.

I think it’s vital for a business to include philanthropic efforts in its marketing plans, which has had me thinking about what The Pet Set might be able to develop.

Yes, we support great organizations such as The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation and Puppies Behind Bars , but I would like us to do more, and I would like to build a program that is exclusively Pet Set.

As I was looking around my dog’s canine pantry, it dawned on me that he has more food than we do. So do many American domestic dogs. We spend thousands of dollars as a country feeding our dogs.

Then, the lightbulb moment! What if we could initiate a project that was dedicated to dogs feeding hungry children.

I know, pretty neat, huh?

Oh…one snag. How are we ever be able to convince people that we weren’t giving dog food to children?

This is what I mean when I express here that one of the down sides to owning your own business is that you have no one with whom to share your ideas…and no one who can tell you how lame your ideas are sometimes.

Anyway, until I can come up with an intelligent and logical campaign…The Pet Set will continue to donate to deserving and respected animal causes.
