Day 11: Give a Kid a Christmas

Yesterday (Friday), I dropped of the PJs I bought for the 12-year-old girl who needs them. I carefully selected them, remembering what my daughter liked at that age. I hope they are exactly what this little girl wants and needs!

The Inaugural Day of Daily Giving

Today, I gave Kim, the (very cool) lady who cuts my hair, an early Christmas present since I probably won't see her again until after Christmas. While there, I picked up instructions to purchase a "Give a Kid a Christmas" gift for a 12 year old girl who need PJs. I also spent 6 hours working on a project for work on my day off (it will help many people eat more healthfully).

Day 2: Twilight

Posted on November 24, 2009 at 5:38pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

My teen daughter went to see the movie, New Moon (the second in the teen vampire series), with a friend and now wants me to go with her. But first, she said I needed to watch Twilight to get introduced to the characters and story line. So, I made a secret trip to the video store today, rented Twilight (it was the last one on the shelf) and we watched it together tonight. She was thrilled.

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!

Happy giving!
