You have been busy, too! I can relate to the mental debts -- I need to let go of them too
Joyce Kirby commented on Tarasita's blog post 'Days 3-8'
Hard work!! A great give that was hugely appreciated I'm sure!!
Tarasita commented on Jane's blog post 'Day 20 - My take from the washing machine and more'
Great give!! And I have the same rule about the wash!! haha!
Thanks for the information about MS, I don't know enough about it and will be reading about it today.
Days 3-8
Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 5 days since I've been on here! The Hampton Roads area was hit by a nor-easter last week that caused lots of flooding and power outages throughout the region, hence the delay in my blog.My Day 3 give (November 11-the day before the storm) had nothing to do with the storm, but with a monetary debt that I have chosen to relieve (both physically and mentally). I have realized that sometimes while I physically relieve debts owed, mentally I hold onto…See More

Tarasita commented on Jane's blog post 'Day 12 - Ham and Cheese update...I am sending my husband out for more bread.'
It definitely appears that it is getting worse. But maybe it appears that way because we are paying more attention....it is hard to tell.
Tarasita commented on anninsa's blog post 'Day 6 Wonderful opportunities'
Wow! Your day 6 has been a very giving one!

Massages are definitely a great gift. Definitely a good personal touch! Great idea for a give! I'm going to use that as a give myself!!

Day 2- A Focus on Noah Biorkman

So far, my give today has been focused on Noah Biorkman. I picked up a Christmas card, found a stamp, and I'm going to slip it into a mailbox either on my lunch break or after work. Noah and his family are on the forefront of my thoughts and prayers today.
Day 1- GoodWill Giving
Posted on November 9, 2009 at 6:01pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Okay, so I moved recently and realized I have more clothing than any one person should ever have. So today I took bags of clothing, a coat, knick-knacks, shoes, etc. to the GoodWill. I know I have more but I I have to go through more bags of stuff. I really wanted to start off today so I will make another trip to GoodWill on another day. Also, when I dropped the items off, I couldn't help but notice that the lady working looked totally worn out. I imagine it is a hard job to go through and sort… 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.
