In addition, they have taught us that so much love can be conveyed by simple acts of selfless giving. Here are 5001 Simple Things to do For Others (And Yourself!). Some of the topics include:

• Love Thy Neighbor (hood)
• Crafty for a Cause
• The Care and Feeding of Friends
• The Giving Game
• Spiritual Space
• Travel with Care

• We Work — We Play
