Mary,
My pleasure to accept your gift of friendship. The positive energy you put into creating "Seeking Employment" is truly an inspiration.
Have fun, Pamela

and I imagine the look on the faces of people who receive your gifts also keep you going... that's terrific!

Ha! More like a hungry soul who finds nourishment in being there for my Mom. My family is unique in that until my Mom moved into the nursing home last year she had ALWAYS, since the time she had children (54 years), had one of them living with her!…

My sister and I talked about organizing an effort to connect people with their loved ones in nursing homes... something like this - since my sister is in Vermont and I'm 15 minutes from our Mom I take pictures when I visit and share them via…

Thank you for "giving" at the nursing home. My grandmother is in one far away and doesn't get many visitors. People like you are real angels. Bless you.

You are a great to think of sharing your friendship (and a coupon). How thoughtful of you!

Reed,
Your journey is just beginning! I love reading about your encounters with strangers and imagining what stories will be told one year later at a party when everyone gathers together!
Your story too, is fascinating. Keep writing and giving,…

You are so wise to seize the opportunity and relish the presence of your Mom in your life! She must be very proud of you that you've grown up to be such a loving daughter.
Being Seen and Heard
Last week was full of opportunity to share the gift of friendship with new friends and friends who have been in my life for decades!I offered a shoulder to cry on as well being a companion for people with few visitors at a nursing home.When asked, I shared my suggestions on their situations (growing their business, single looking for a good guy) but mostly I just offered the gift of "seeing" people. So many times, this is just what people want. To be seen and heard. This is a gift I can give…See More

Organic Spiced Apple Cider and League of Women Voters
Posted on January 10, 2010 at 5:27pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today my husband and I went to a "State of the State" address hosted by our local League of Women Voters at a nearby couple's home. Did you know that this year is the anniversary of women having the right to vote for (only) the past 90 years? As my mother taught me, you always bring a "hostess" gift when visiting someone's home. This is new to my husband and he often questions the practice saying that not everyone brings a gift when visiting our home... well was I surprised to find out not only… Continue

Coupons!
Posted on January 6, 2010 at 5:42pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Today while shopping I noticed a few coupons in my purse that were going to expire in early January. Instead of letting them go to waste, unused, I placed them beside the products on the shelves. I hope someone feels like they found a lottery ticket when they see them! Had such a good time doing this, I'm going to be mindful when I clip coupons and even if I don't need them myself, if they are for $1 or more, clip them and place them in the grocery store for others to use...

The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same.
