Charity should be a 12 month thought

As I say in my book Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male "life is about learning, sharing and helping others." I believe that there are many ways to help out, and not only around the holidays. Most people think that if they act out and donate around the holidays that they are doing a good thing. I'm not arguing that they aren't, I'm just saying that those who are looking for help need it all year long.

I share the wealth with every book that I sell. The Children's Miracle Network is a great organization which raises funds for children's hospitals in many countries. Most months I give 25% of my profits to this charity. But for the rest of 2010, I will be giving 50% instead.

I know not all of you have books that help you donate or can even afford much this year. The economy has really taken a bite out of us 'do-gooders' as many of us continue to struggle just as much as some the charities do. Remember what karma teaches us though--all good deeds will be returned. As the holidays are approaching, this would be a great start to a better new year for all of us. If possible give $10 or $25 if you can afford it...if not, there are many other ways to help out those that need it.

My blogger friend Karen has a great list of how you can help those in your community. Her last blog entry on "Practical Frugality" is a great resource. See for yourself what ideas she has to help those that need it on a daily basis. You'll be surprised how easy it can be.

Did Ya' Ever Notice that when you do something nice for someone else, someone does something for you in return? Let's make it a great holiday for everyone out there this year!

One Hand Helps the Other

There are many charities out there that need our help. I have decided to share my profits with one of them, The Children's Miracle Network. So check out this press release that was sent out to the public through my PR lady and my page on Facebook. Please share with your friends.

                                    
Author Uses Book as a way to Generate Donations for The Children’s Miracle Network

Henderson, Nevada author Philip Nork utilized his down time on business trips to Arizona and New Mexico to pen a “highly entertaining and unique trip back in time.”

“Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male…Lessons Learned from the Fairer Sex” is the story of one boy’s journey after the divorce of his parents as he searches for the two desires that all humans share: to be accepted by others and to be truly happy. “The stories that have emerged are ripe with feeling and diversity,” says one reviewer.

“…shares some very mature perspectives, ones that any prudent parent or anyone working with children would be well served to read. The content precisely lives up to its title. One of the most soothing reads I’ve ever read,” says another.

Phil also shares the wealth…he normally donates 25% of his profits to The Children’s Miracle Network to help raise funds for children’s hospitals throughout the country. But this holiday season (September through December) Phil will instead donate 50% of his profits to this great charity.

The book is available at amazon.com in paperback, hardcover and Kindle editions. For an autographed copy, search “Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male” on EBay. And for even more information go to www.PhilipNork.com or send him an e-mail at pnork2@yahoo.com

“A self-help book for people who don’t like self-help books! It gives the reader an insight into women, relationships, and how to love yourself without the preaching tone of a self-help manual.”

“A recommended top pick…one not to be missed."                  Midwest Book Reviews

Sensitivity 101 Holiday Press Release

Just thought I'd add this for you to see. I sent this to local radio stations, newspapers and am putting up in coffee shops, etc. Normally I donate 10% of my profits to The Children's Miracle Network, in December it will be 25%. Care to help? Just buy a book and you have helped! Thanks...

The Season of Giving Should Be Twelve Months Long!

Author Philip Nork (www.Philipnork.com) believes we don’t only need to think about giving when the festive season rolls around and Christmas is coming to mind. With the help of his book buying public, the first time author wants to do it all year long.

“As I stated in my book Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male, I believe that life should be a simple experience—you learn, you share, and you help others.” Philip added. “Why wait for December to be generous of heart and soul when you can do so every single day?”

Philip’s decision to support The Children’s Miracle Network (http://www.cmn.org) by donating a portion of the sales of Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male to his favorite charity reflects this belief. Out of all the charities, this was his first choice to get involved in.

“Ever since hearing about CMN I have always supported it. Children are our future and making sure they grow up healthy should be a concern of us all.”

Described as “Straightforward and refreshingly candid…an impressive presentation of a life with a plethora of helpful lessons to share” by Apex Reviews, this book has, since its August release, received rave reviews. If you would like to give a gift that gives twice over this Christmas, Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male, the tale of one boy’s early life lessons following his parent’s divorce, is one way to achieve that.
