- About me:
- I am 35 going to 36 single women. I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago after being sick with random different things for about 5 years. Was happy to hear that I was not going crazy and that it was not all in my head (well it really is. LOL) I am currently fighting to get SSI. Yes I have problems and have good days and bad, but at least I know why. I have a great friend who has given me many thing, but the thing I am the most grateful for is teaching me how to be positive. I am blessed for having her as a friend, I have been a believer in paying forward since watching the movie and this is just another way of doing this. I try to live by the golden rule, I do not always succeed but I do try. Life is to short to live with regrets. Seizes the moment because we do not know if there will be another.

Day 3
I did not have a great day but had a friend call me and she came to visit. My friend is taking care of her dad you has Alzheimer. We talked for a couple of hours. I ended up putting a apple pie that my mom had made and frozen in to bake. I was having trouble as nothing sounded good to eat, and that had some appeal. I gave her 1/2 the apple pie as I know I did not need to eat the whole thing and she would enjoy it. Not much but It was something.

Day 2
Well today started out great. I had energy so I called my friend and ended up meeting her at the babysitter house (she is also a GREAT friend) I had printed out the blogs from make a child smile and took that with me. (these friends do not have computer at home to use) I wanted to share this with them. My day then started to go down hill. I had terrible trouble with my legs today. They just hurt. I wanted to bye the movie Up and let the kids at the sitters house watch it. So I finally got out th… Continue

Day 1
Today I gave $0.01 to a stranger who was checking out and her total was $8.01 and she was going to give them $9. I offered to give her a penny so she did not have to deal with .99 in change as I know it would have made me unhappy if I did not have a penny. She smiled and said thank you and that she would pay it forward. To me it was enough to see her smile.
I would like to add that I LOVE reading everyones blogs. It does a heart and soul good to see some many people stepping up to the plate!!!… Continue

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!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

Absolutely wonderful news! I'm very happy for you and your son. XOXO
For several years, I've taken my therapy dog to schools and libraries to work with kids. Since I already do this, I'm not counting taking Barley to our public library today as a gift. So, I made bookmarks for the kids who read to him out of scrapboo…
Lynne, that is wonderful you wrote to you cousins. It is easy to get out of touch with relatives who don't live near us. I know I have many all over the US that i have lost touch with. Also, gifting food is a favorite of mine. Yummy muffins sound gr…
I just found the coolest thing, pencils made from tires! Remember the yellow, #2 pencils you used in grade school? Well, the same company, Ticonderoga, has created a unique, patented process, to make pencils using the rubber compound from recycled…

Welcome to this site. It has helped me, and inspired me. I have had to take some time away or a while.. and am not sure when i will really be back. but Welcome. Giving (i had almost forgotten) is a wonderful way to feel better, and to be better. goo…
Kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind... words to live by... i will try to be nice tonight.
I was shocked as I said. It was a local library book club and even the librarian called the book whiny and greedy. It was interesting how people can put a nagative spin on anything. I definately learned so much about my own attitude and how it appea…
Today, I was given a gift from my mother. She sees that I'm extremely depressed and having a hard time with my motivation and my marriage. Five months ago, I quit my job and thought it would be easy to get a new one. Since the economy has taken a tu…
I was talking about giving with my son on the way home from cubs the other night. This week is "Good Turn" week. Each member of Scouting is given a "Good Turn" bracelet which they pass on when they do a good turn for someone. We discussed different…
