I went into the woods because I wanted to live deeply and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. Thoreau

As Mama Cass would say: "When I woke up this mornin' you were on my mind."

M left a comment for Give a little ~ GALfriend"Vosges now sell in upper-end health food stores. I think there's a store locator on their website.
I don't remember when I first heard of them. I ordered a box of their chocolates from around the world for my birthday years ago and I was…"
M left a comment for Give a little ~ GALfriend"I have done that many times: the great blog comment that just disappears. So frustrating! I hope you got you some good chocolate! I just had a rough day and I am PMSing, so I got myself a Vosges bar. Ever try it? It's THE…"

Give a little ~ GALfriend posted a blog postBarking up the wrong tree
I called back an elderly gentleman who had inadvertantly left a voicemail for me, thinking he'd called a furniture store enquiring about the delay in delivery of his recliners. He left an incorrect tel #, but the correct one from my caller ID. I got his wife, who thanked me for taking the time....such a small give, but gave me the warm fuzzies :)See More
Give a little ~ GALfriend posted a blog postKevin the Cat and Kaglingworlis
Yet more major crushing news today. After tears, bloodshot eyes and massive headache, really didn't have giving on my mind, but drawing close to the end of the day and didn't want to miss a day. When life gets tough, we have to count our blessings. One of those blessings is my childhood friend, Kaglingworlis…See More
Give a little ~ GALfriend posted a blog postTeaching an old dog a new trick
My Springer, Sam is now 10 (or is it 11? my brain is too feeble to remember anymore), he barks like a lunatic in certain situations, otherwise he is perfect in every way and I love him to bits. The barking gets really old though. A major irritation. I have not been a good parent, in that, when he barks for food (which I don't mind in the least; this is his form of communication), I have historically rushed to get him his food, without teaching him "I've heard you, I understand what you want…See More
"Thanks so much everyone! Please be patient with me I am feeling very overwhelmed! lol
I have all this e-mail coming at me now and trying to learn what to do here and where..head spinning!

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- Need to take the focus off all the (overwhelming) negativity I'm experiencing in my life right now.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Knowledge that I can positively affect someone else's life
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Serendipity, I happened upon the book at the library - the cover looked pretty and caught my eye
- About me:
- Redefining my life following (and during) some pretty major life changes. Ordinarily an animated, welcoming person, who revels in and is completely mystified by the fact that animals like and seek attention from humans. Thank you God for pets! And all the good people in the world. And all those brave enough to make positive changes.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Buick Verano loses buying power of parents
Posted on March 15, 2012 at 3:16pm 4 Comments 1 Like
This morning I composed an em of complaint regarding Buick's newest Verano TV ad. Have you seen the one? ..The teenager brings home a straight A report card. The parents fist bump each other, while all three of them sit together at home around the dining table eating, giving absolutely no recognition to their son for his hard work. Pan to the car. What is the message here? I paid…
Continue Cleaning up the kitchen counts, right?
Posted on March 14, 2012 at 5:52pm 7 Comments 2 Likes
I am so exhausted, I really could do with a shoulder rub, bubble bath and early night. I walked the dogs, without my helper (ankle not doing too well either), I'm tempted to count that as my give, but the kitchen needs picking up. I so don't feel like it - but I'm going to push myself....Feeble I know, but it's taking a bunch of energy and…

Ann said… May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."
