Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I believe that seemingly small acts of kindness have unexpectedly huge impacts on our world. I want to be part of something big & wonderful, to make that type of contribution and to inspire others to do the same.
What I'd most like to receive:
I'd like to receive peace of mind. I'd like to finally feel that I am worthy of receiving as well as giving:)

About me:
I'm a mommy to two totally awesome kids, I'm married to a man who makes my eyes sparkle, I adore my extended family, my dearest friends make up that family as well, I've inspired and helped heal many through my work as a chiropractor, I'm very physically expressive, I love having silly time with my kids, I'm pretty fearless, I"m pretty corny but I blame it on being raised in the 80's, I love serendipity, I believe our spirit never dies but just changes form and I have a very eclectic blend of music that heals and inspires me. Much more, but that's the basics of me:)

Break it down for me fellas---"Thanks" and "Giving:"

How many times have I, a writing-challenged person not broken down words to discover their deeper meanings...Ummm, countless times I"m certain!...But bust my buttons (yes, I"ve been watching the Wizard of Oz marathon all weekend!), Thanks---Giving really is the holiday that captures the spirit of the 29-Day Challenge!!! They truly go hand in hand!

So I"m on Day 18, hard to believe...My first week was filled with miracles; the next week I was a little bit scattered with my gift giving & my w… Continue

Gave my son a mental health day

This week I seemed to be so wrapped up in my own financial worries and adults needs that I almost forgot that kids stress out, too. Our son's learning style doesn't seem to be conducive to his 2nd grade teacher's approach. As a result, he speeds through his classwork, has lost focus and hardly enjoys school. She has recommended him for gifted and talented & is in the process of being tested for it, but in the meantime he is pretty upset being frequently reprimanded. Yesterday morning, he was… Continue

Signed on as a 'lifecoach'

Well I had the strangest request yesterday, I was asked to be a friend's life coach of sorts...He said that my husband & I are his role models and would love to be inspired & coached by us...Isn't that the sweetest thing?...I was so touched...I just love being in this "29 Day Giving" environment; it brings about so many unexpected treats! Speaking of treats, my friend enlightened us on a way to increase our financial earnings while helping others...Right up my alley!

Head in vice-grip gone, check

I just realized today that after joining this phenomenal movement, I have already reduced my stress level substantially...I'm in such a relaxed place & I have 'giving' to thank...and so I will, THANK YOU...Yesterday I donated to the Winter Coat Drive...Coats keep getting more & more pricey, can't imagine being without one!

I'm glad you are joining along with us on our giving journeys Brad. Sometimes we have to forgive ourselves when we choose to end a relationship where we had children or just another person we committed to. It has been a difficult road for me to do t…

Interesting how people who come to our lives with "bad blood" are the givers of so many insights about ourselves...true teachers...not easy to see the blessings in here, I know. Aside from that...you might want to consider the life in her as a child…

Brad, you did a wonderful thing for your friend, although she may not entirely realize this yet. Sometimes we cling to our comfort zone even if that "zone" isn't what is best for us. I've encountered this with people in my life occasionally. This ye…
