Kathleen Ravel posted a blog postFlowers were a success!
Well, I couldn't wait for Mother's Day to hand out the flowers, so we did it on Saturday instead. I explained to Johnny exactly what he would be doing and why, and he jumped on board right away. I stood to the side holding the carnations I purchased to give out, replenishing his stock when he ran out. We stood in front of Kohl's for about 45 minutes handing out flowers and talking with people. I have a picture of him with two ladies that were especially grateful, I will post that over the…See More
Kathleen Ravel commented on Patty Ravel's blog post Thursday, a Double Dose of Giving"For your first "blog" experience, you are doing an awesome job! And yes, you must take the money back otherwise you are bringing bad karma your way! I love the animal site, I will have to check it out....XO Kat"
Kathleen Ravel commented on Patty Ravel's blog post Mother's Day"Thank you so much for the nice things you wrote about me. I don't have many people in my life to validate or guide me in raising Johnny, so to hear your praise is very endearing to me. Best mommy ever! Wow...I feel grateful to have those words…"
Kathleen Ravel replied to Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder's discussion Hard Labor: Are giving birth to something new in your life?"I am sending positive energy your way and will keep you in my prayers. It was a smart move to get out of your house to do the work. Change in environment can be very helpful and what better place than a healing center? Hang in there I look forward…"
Pat Halverson commented on Kathleen Ravel's blog post Day 11 - Still going strong"Handing out flowers sounds like a wonderful give! I admire your persistance at finding a way for you and your son to do volunteer work."
Dawn wwt commented on Kathleen Ravel's blog post Day 11 - Still going strong"just because you get something in return doesn't necessarily make it less of a give. it just shows the "circle of life" principle, to me. giving out flowers is guaranteed to generate many smiles! Happy Mother's Day to you. Hugs,…"

Elders of the Arizona Nation
You have been telling the people in your life that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, pursh off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.
See who is in there with you and celebrate!
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

Today I took a rainy day and tried to make the best of it....I spent time at Trader Joe's buying some of the items I needed to start cooking healthier which was a gift to myself and my son. I came home and experimented with some new recipes. I also decided that instead of donating money to God's Love Delivers, I would donate my time instead. I signed up for kitchen duty, and I waiting to hear back when they will need me. I am looking forward to serving this charity. Today I received a journal… Continue

I have been out of touch, but not shirking my responsibility! It was my birthday weekend, and I received all kinds of gifts big and small (tangible and non tangible) that touched me immensly. My proof that doing this brings good karma is that I won the latest raffle for the hot heart. I never win anything....truly. Raffles, door prizes, you name it...my name never comes up. Unless it's being called for Jury duty! Then I am top of the list. I am so excited to receive this heart, and plan… Continue

Today I decided to donate some money to the 29 Day Giving Challenge in an effort to help with the ongoing costs to run the website.

A coffee mug with pictures of him all over it ranging from the time he was a baby. It was the greatest gift. His dad made it for him to give me of course, I was very touched by the gesture and the… Continue

I hope happiness will stop eluding you ...... this challenge is a good way to refresh your mindset and invite happiness back into your heart.
Read your post about the time you took to make a phone call to someone ... that's always a meaningful give .. and often we receive from doing it too.
