I guess sometimes we get caught up in ourselves and forget about the world around us. After all it’s easy to be self centered and so concerned with what’s going on in our life that we don’t even have time to think about anyone else. Which brings me to this weeks blog: charity. It’s a word that many of us only think of around the holidays or when we see a telethon on TV for a special cause. Well, with the holidays fast approaching, I would like to take time to think about it now.

The word charity means:  benevolent goodwill toward or love of humanity, generosity and helpfulness especially toward the needy or suffering, aid given to those in need, an institution engaged in relief of the poor (according to www.merriam-webster.com).  This holiday season, I think there are going to be a lot of people who would appreciate charity from people in a position to be a blessing. Last week I talked about planning a party in my blog and asked for every one’s input. Now, I’m asking for every one’s help to throw a party to make a difference in the life of people who need some help.

In the weeks to come, I will be posting more details in my blog, but for now I will leave you with this. Because of the current economy, I have decided to throw a party around the holidays for charity. I will be making calls to local non-profit organizations to partner with them to raise money for the less fortunate to buy groceries and necessities. I also will be looking for sponsors to help cover some of the costs for this party because I have decided to make this a no cover charge event. That means that you… my friends… will be getting in free. I may ask everyone to bring can goods or make a donation directly to the non-profit of your choice but all in all the party will be on me. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I will be working diligently to put everything together.

Last but not least, I will also be making a decision in the weeks to come whether or not I will be releasing Jay Colbert 4 $ale or another mix tape in November. I’m kind of thinking of releasing a Jay Colbert 4 Charity mix tape since the economy is still bad. Hit me up on facebook with your feedback and let me know what you think.
