- With eyes closed, the sweet scent of gardenias took me back. - The covered picnic table that was once my fortress - It's simply not wise to build a nest in a gutter

effie, yes. it's so true -- i too, love the lyrical and more lengthy. yet, also find it completely amazing, how with the fewest of words -- beautiful haiku, can compel and move the reader, as it reveals its story. note: haiku stanzas need not…

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I'm choosing to give because, despite family traumas and tragedies which have caused me to question why bad things happen to good people, GIVING remains the most reliable source of positive energy and fulfillment for me.
What I'd most like to receive:
Grace and strength to never lose sight of the bigger picture; and to be the best I can be for my son who depends on me, and my husband, who I lean on much to much
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I read Cami's book after seeing her on the Today Show.
About me:
I'm married (34 years). We've had the typical rollercoaster ride, but we've also had 4 children who make us very proud. Our 30-yr old son was the victim of a random shooting when he was 19. Brain damaged and totally dependent, I am his primary caregiver. I continually look for ways to make lemonade out of lemons, but it's agony seeing your child this way. He was always a giver; we'll do this together.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

Happy Valentines' Day! Time to stop and smell the roses!

Posted on February 13, 2010 at 7:59am 1 Comment

Good morning everyone,



This week was busy with taxes and year-end reports but we managed to find some time each day to "stop and smell the roses." In anticipation of Valentine's day, we:



Monday - made love song CD's for some friends



Tuesday- helped Rob paint frames for gifts to sibs; I took my husbands's night shift with Rob (we trade off) so he could catch up on his zzz's.



Wednesday - purchased "Valentine grab bags" (a fundraiser) from Rob's day… Continue

Round 2, Day 6 Puppysitting!

Posted on February 7, 2010 at 9:31am 1 Comment

Our gift for today will be puppysitting my daughter's 2 poodles so she can enjoy a much needed getaway with her hubby without the expense of the kennel X 2. It's snowing in Denver today so great snuggling by the fire weather (2 poodles + my yorkie = great snuggling). The chili's in the crockpot for the Super Bowl (personally excited about the 1/2 time show) so gotta say . . life is good!

Updates, Round 2 (or Day 34) and Rob's gifts

Posted on February 6, 2010 at 8:54am 6 Comments

Good morning everyone,

This is actually our first official blog, even though we started the Challenge last month, so I guess we should start with an update, along with some realizations I've made on what I've gained and what we can give. Rob (my 30-yr old son) and I started our 29-day journey January 4 of this year after having seen Cami on the Today Show and reading her book. As I may have mentioned when I signed on, Rob is disabled (doesn't speak, minimal gestural…
