Today is a world-wide celebration to honour and thank those people who donate their blood without any reward, except the knowledge that they have helped to save lives.

This day has particular significance as it is the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, the Nobel Prize winner who discovered the ABO blood group system.

So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Blood Donor Day:

Get others involved and it makes it easier to remember to donate, and less anxious for those who have never gone before.

Get your office or organization involved and promote it through your on-line or internal communications

Get your family involved – go together and make it a family giving project

Be a role model for others – I love how my mom still goes regularly to donate.

With our lives being so busy it is easy to forget to do this simple little act of kindness. But this little act can mean the difference between life and death.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

This quote by Edith Wharton encourages us to bring light to someone who has been touched by the darkness.

Many are living in darkness while struggling with illness. These illnesses may be depression, chronic pain, or battling cancer and the struggle they are facing may be draining the light from their life.

Random Acts of Light encourage everyone to show a random act of light for a friend or loved one with cancer or other illness. Initiatives are being taken across the country to show support, one person at a time.

So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Random Acts Of Light Day:

Light The Night showcases the progress being made in the cancer arena along with the importance of supporting patients, one at a time.

Bring light to someone you know. This can be any random act, big or small.

Surprise someone at the hospital with a meal, gift certificate or kind gesture.

Gift a cancer patient or survivor with tickets to a sporting event, or gear from a favorite team.

Treat a local survivor or patient or colleague to a manicure, pedicure or massage.

Take those in need out for coffee, ice cream, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sometimes it takes just one gentle word or small token to help overcome darkness.

Start by knowing what is important to you and then actively decide how to make those things a priority.

Sometimes all that is needed is some fine tuning – some simple strategies that energize or relax us and enable us to enjoy the life situations that we are facing.
