Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I know what a difference giving can make in the lives of others and I feel that love and positive energy are contagious and the more we are giving of ourselves we can make the changes we want to see in the world... I do believe world peace can be acheived and touching the lives of others is the first step....
- What I'd most like to receive:
- The attitudes of others to change... For them to have faith in humankind... to know there is beauty in the world... I would love to change the mind of just one person who was giving up....._
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- I heard that someone did something and then it was posted on my group site on facebook"Spreading all the posiitive energy and Love"
- About me:
- I am a positive, open, loving mother of two, wife, friend. My motto for this year is, " My desire is to inspire." I am probably one of the most positive people... I really love and embrace life....There is so much beauty that surrounds us every day you just have to be receptive to it.... I am hoping this year I will find my path in life.. This was one of the toughest, yet most eye opening years of my life....

I have close to 30 prom dresses for the donatemydress project and then have everything in order for the dream makeover, I just am working on donations. I even wrote Ellen Degeneres a letter.... It will all come together I have no doubt.... My goal is to have my $$ ready before I meet with the founder of the shelter I am working with... Thanks for checking in... This has been a fun journey and very enlightening....
