A wonderful receive Friday: SNOW!



It snowed in Houston, TX yesterday!!! The elementary school across the street (where all of my 7 brothers and sisters and I went to school), let the children out for a bit to play in the snow. I'm quite sure their Woo-Hoos and hollers and laughter could be heard throughout the neighborhood.

For those… Continue

Five pennies

Last night my husband and I walked our dog Jack (actually, he usually walks us, but I'm working on that...) around the park for a total of 3 miles! I made a firm commitment to myself that I am going to walk every day to lose weight, get in shape and consistently train Jack.

So today, I got up early, threw on comfortable clothes and took Jack for our daily walk around the park. We live in an old, established neighborhood where my parents were among the first residents some 55 years ago. Walking… Continue

Days 2 & 3, Round 2: Unemployed 29Gifters, Homeless Cats, Island Calendars, and Loads of Candy

My gifts for yesterday and today (so far):

1. I'm continuing to read through as many 29Gift member profiles as I can and inviting those who are unemployed to a new group on 29 Gifts called Seeking Employment.

My hope is that recruiters, job seekers, and anyone wanting to help others find employment, join this group and work together to improve America's unemployment rate. We can also help each other with resumes, cover lette… Continue

Day 1, Round 2: Today is all about 29 on October 29th on 29 Gifts

After completing and blogging my first round of giving with 29 Gifts, I became a volunteer and have put more effort into welcoming and encouraging other members than into my second round of giving. I still gave often, but stopped blogging my experiences.

I read a blog today where the new member decided to start the challenge today, since it's October 29th, hoping for good karma. So I'm doing the same and restarting my second round of giving and blogging for 29 days today.

Coincidentally, the c… Continue

A great give and receive kind of day

Today's winner of the Calligraphy set I donated for a 29Gifts raffle is Becky Erickson! Congrats, Becky! You are my big give for today.

A most wonderful give was sent to me remotely today from fellow 29Gifter and Reiki Master Franny. She had read my profile and saw that I was in need of chronic pain relief. Franny generously used her skills as a conduit to send healing my way. While I didn't receive instant pain relief (Franny said that can come over a couple of days), I definitely felt a warmi… Continue

God, when I first saw the picture without having read the blog, I thought the beef bourguignon had exploded on you -- kind of like ala "Julie and Julia' or something. Reassuring to realize it was intentional. Nice!

For me some of the best gifts I can give to my 21 year old son is to be quiet. It is hard... I'm sure they appreciate it sometimes.
