Ten Ideas for 2009

10. Floss

9. Make time for the important things, at work and personally, rather than only running from deadline to deadline.

8. Buy less stuff.

7. Find out more about a cause near and dear to my heart, The Academy for Global Citizenship, providing exceptional education to underprivileged kids on Chicago's southwest side.

6. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Not only is it good for you, it is less burdensome on the resources of the earth than eating meat.

5. Check out Apathy is Deadly, a campaign started by George's son that gives guidance on how to communicate with elected representatives about Darfur, reducing Climate Change and eliminating poverty.

4. Make a regular habit of connecting with the people who are important to you: call an old friend, send a letter to your aunt, listen to your spouse, play with your kids.

3. Learn a new skill, or take the time to improve one.

2. Find an opportunity to use your strengths everyday.

1. Give time and/or money to a cause you believe in. In this economy, the world is more in need of generosity than ever.
