I qualify for many if not all twelve step programs. I am truly an addict so given the opportunitty - I can do almost everything to excess!
Every day since I have started this has been rewarding. I find myself thinking differently-Yes Already!!!!! I find myself being gentler and kinder to everyone all the time. I'm not trying to be sainted but it sure feels good. Today I reached out to…
I had an epiphany the other day. The words Made a Decision To turn our will and our lives over to the care of God. So I make the decision over and over again but then I take it back over and over again. I am very stubborn and thick headed. So when I…
So it is said that God gives you exactly what you need. I woke up this morning in the pit of despair. I am going through so many things right now including a breakup that believe me has been a long time coming but i am grieving the loss and can't ge…
Where we can share stories, writing resources and about writing in general.
I have been interested in Natural Health and Healing for the last five years or so. You wouldn't know of it by the way I have been taking care of myself. I skip meals, eat crap, drink too much coffee and my body is revolting. My complexion is bad, I…
Friends and readership of About Holistic Healing unite. Everyone is invited to join their healing hands with us on the 29 Day Giving Challenge. Namaste.

Day Four It's Only Just Begun and Already Miracles are Happening
Every day since I have started this has been rewarding. I find myself thinking differently-Yes Already!!!!! I find myself being gentler and kinder to everyone all the time. I'm not trying to be sainted but it sure feels good. Today I reached out to an estranged friend without expectations(Imagine that!). Guess What? My friend responded-It's amazing when I get out of my own way and let life happen...it does and with many surprises. I am looking forward to the next twenty-five days and then do it… 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!
Mary

Absolutely wonderful news! I'm very happy for you and your son. XOXO
For several years, I've taken my therapy dog to schools and libraries to work with kids. Since I already do this, I'm not counting taking Barley to our public library today as a gift. So, I made bookmarks for the kids who read to him out of scrapboo…
Lynne, that is wonderful you wrote to you cousins. It is easy to get out of touch with relatives who don't live near us. I know I have many all over the US that i have lost touch with. Also, gifting food is a favorite of mine. Yummy muffins sound gr…
I just found the coolest thing, pencils made from tires! Remember the yellow, #2 pencils you used in grade school? Well, the same company, Ticonderoga, has created a unique, patented process, to make pencils using the rubber compound from recycled…
i am so happy for you! i can' imagine what you have had to endure. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for reminding me about how prayers help.
Welcome to this site. It has helped me, and inspired me. I have had to take some time away or a while.. and am not sure when i will really be back. but Welcome. Giving (i had almost forgotten) is a wonderful way to feel better, and to be better. goo…
Kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind... words to live by... i will try to be nice tonight.
I was shocked as I said. It was a local library book club and even the librarian called the book whiny and greedy. It was interesting how people can put a nagative spin on anything. I definately learned so much about my own attitude and how it appea…
Today, I was given a gift from my mother. She sees that I'm extremely depressed and having a hard time with my motivation and my marriage. Five months ago, I quit my job and thought it would be easy to get a new one. Since the economy has taken a tu…
I was talking about giving with my son on the way home from cubs the other night. This week is "Good Turn" week. Each member of Scouting is given a "Good Turn" bracelet which they pass on when they do a good turn for someone. We discussed different…
