If you follow Joyful Heart on Facebook (and I hope you all do!) you've probably noticed repeated posts about GoodSearch and GoodShop. You've also probably noticed you've been encouraged to download the toolbar (you can download it here).

Here is why we are so excited about this tool: It allows you to support us financially--at no cost to you! You simply conduct your electronic searches and online shopping through the GoodSearch/Shop website or through the toolbar, and each time you do, we receive a donation.

The beauty of the toolbar, is that it will let you know when you have come across a participating online store. It also provides you with coupons! Personally, I did all my holiday shopping using GoodShop and thanks to all of you December was our most successful month ever!

We thought we would dedicate a post to a "GoodShop Shop of the Week" to let you know how we are using the toolbar, as well as to let you know about some of our favorite GoodShop participating stores.

This week's GoodShop of the week is Barnes & Noble. 

I find very little more relaxing than reading a good book. You can find pretty much any book, magazine or song on bn.com. 

Have you read Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk, or Note to Self by JHF Board Member, Andrea Buchanan? Maybe you got a nook for the holidays? Or you want one?! Buy your nook and nook books through GoodShop! Working on a New Years resolution to practice self care? You can find these books, books about many self-care subjects like meditation and journaling and so much more on bn.com. 4% of your total purchase will be donated to Joyful Heart Foundation when you GoodShop for Joyful Heart! Are you using GoodSearch/Shop?

Comment below and let us know your favorite online stores that are involved.
