I'm finally back home after an extended business trip that began with the Blogher 2006 conference.

On Saturday I completed the 29-Day Giving Challenge that I posted about last month. First I gave away money, then stuff, then advice, and then my giving became more intangible. I came to realize that, at least for me, the most difficult thing to give away sometimes is compassion for individuals I encounter in every day life.

I learned about this from a personal branding session at BlogHer I attended this summer. Give readers the option to subscribe at the end of your articles. We inevitably associate a professional design with how seriously the blogger or webmaster takes what they do. I'd also add a 4th point or perhaps add something to point 2.

Holiday giving can be like that. Just like you should bring a list to the grocery store to avoid overspending, you should go into the holiday season, and the New Year, with a giving plan so that at the year's end you'll feel satisfied with your philanthropic "purchases."
