What she really wants is a new coat and some pajamas - I had a great time trying to find just the right things in her favorite color; didn't end up with the coat today but found great pjs. I'm hoping for some killer "black Friday" sales so I can get the best coat possible for the money that I have to spend.

- Thank you...I would like to feel the gift of giving. The spiritual center I go to started this 10 days ago. Today I gave the gift of a compliment. I never thought I had anything to give. I am trying to change my thought process.

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.
