&lt;p&gt;This year, I'm trying to make it also be Christmas in July. If you are able, in the way you feel best, consider doing the same.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>giving</category><guid>https://auspicacious.org/posts/2021/07/04/christmas-in-july/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jul 2021 09:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>End-of-year Giving, 2020</title><link>https://auspicacious.org/posts/2020/12/26/end-of-year-giving/</link><dc:creator>Andrew Todd</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: I am sharing the below in the hope that it will help show solidarity and stimulate some positive action. There are thousands -- millions -- of worthwhile ways to spend your time, energy, and money; I hope you are considering them as I do at this time of year. My giving wouldn't happen were I not listening to all of you: family, friends, colleagues, fellow-travelers, strangers. I hope it helps. Happy holidays.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
