Life is good, all is well, I am truly blessed!

I like to say I fell off the wagon, yet again ... a little while ago -- this is me "getting back on"



I've recommitted to the GIVE a few days ago and I pledge to do my best to keep up with the BLOG! That's always the "kicker" for me ... I do the giving -- I just have trouble with the reporting side of it.



I hope this finds you all well and happy. I'm so excited for Cami and this whole website. It's amazing how quickly it's grown and how many folks continue to "jump on… Continue

Well first thing in my inbox day yesterday was a note from a friend who is doing the AIDS walk coming up asking for a little support --- So I thought -- well, doesn't that just work out well -- A completely unexpected "give" -- I didn't even have to plan that out! Not that I mind when I do. So that was a "give me day" -- :)



Today I had to head downtown to pick up some paperwork and I actually found street parking, which is always nice. I saw the meter person coming down the street… Continue

As I finished my last blog... I got a little more organized -- made a quick little chart -- with gives and the days I have done and ones left to go -- I realized -- I did a great give and totally forgot --



So this is going in as Day 16...



I play racquetball on Wednesday and Friday nights with a great group of friends. It's really a "highlight" of my week. I look forward to it so much -- Just a great group of people and we have such a good time together. So anyway, I had… Continue

So technically I should be on day 20 ... HOWEVER, I've been bad. Not that I haven't been giving mind you because if you have read this blog at all you know I've been giving presents to a certain birthday girl for a long time on my "40 days of presents" idea.



I'm not sure why exactly I've "fallen off the wagon" so to speak but the beauty of "falling off" is you can always "jump right back on" -- Over the last week or so I wouldn't say that I didn't "give" at all. I did do a few little… Continue

So today I didn't have a "give idea" pop out at me and I thought -- through out the day I'll just see where it goes and what might come my way. Well, nothing really did and then I thought "hang on a minute Melissa" -- My partner is turning 40 this October and a while ago a friend of mine was telling me how she did "30 days of presents" for her husband when he turned 30. I thought that is really cute, why not "40 days of presents" -- So about two weeks ago I started doing just that for… Continue
