Hi Elly Rose,
All photo's have disappeared from my page...not only my profile pic, but nobody else's pics are showing up on my page either. Is there a problem.
Thanks, Vanessa Vos

- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I have always been a giver by nature, and love helping others. When I heard about this wonderful site, I decided that this is a wonderful way to give on a daily basis, and actually think about why you are giving.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- The joy of seeing the response from those you are giving to.
Times have been tough for many of us, and we all know that giving to others opens up doors to receive. I am hoping that my prescription will bring healing to our financial situation.

Days 27, 28 and 29 of my first round
Posted on March 18, 2010 at 4:11am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I have been so hectic that I have not even had time to post my blog for the last 3 days of my first challenge. I finished last Wednesday already, but have got a wee bit of time so thought I'd best do this before I get busy again.
Day 27 - I sent some words of encouragement to some of my Weight Watcher members that have fallen off the wagon. To encourage them that we miss them and would love to get them back on track and accomplish the goals they originally set for… Continue

It has been a rather busy week, but then again each week seems to fly by faster than the week before. I guess most weeks are busy for most folk out there.
Day 22 - Some days draw to a close and you can't think of what to give, and then something just pops into your head. My sister had asked me to buy her some fruit from the store. I had forgotten and asked my hubby to buy us all some fruit while he was waiting for me to conduct my Weight Watchers class. I then heard that my sisters… Continue

It's sometimes the little things that count. Days 19 - 21

There are days when you just cannot think of what to do give...and then something hits you in the face!
Day 19 - My husband and I were out to see a potential agent. On our way home a man was standing at the one set of traffic lights collecting money for a home. I felt an excitement to put in a donation, and really felt blessed after doing that. In our country (South Africa), there are very few traffic lights where you don't find someone asking for money...many times it's individuals… Continue

Out of touch for a few days- days 12 - 15

I have been a little hectic since Thursday last week so have not updated my blog. Time flies...it certainly waits for no man (or woman)!!!
Day 12 - My agent from Swaziland placed a lovely big order, but mistakenly worked out her commission incorrectly...to her favour. Well, I was so impressed by her order that I told my husband I would give her the 'extra' commission as my gift for the day. I have not seen her yet to tell her, but she has sure been blessed over my days 11 & 12, and I… Continue

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