Mindful Gift Giving
Since this pandemic (or just 2020 in general) came into our lives it has just been one thing after another. A lot of people lost their jobs. As a result money has gotten tight for a lot of families which makes getting even the most basic things a challenge. And now that the holidays have arrived there are a lot more challenges because a lot of people are still struggling to get the basics and now they have to buy presents.
