Cindy Lafond commented on Keli Scott's blog post Day 14- company cookout

"Sounds like you are a special co-worker. What a great lunch to bring to someone on the friday before the 4th of July. the Special part, is that you take time to notice your friends at work! Have a special week-end yourself!"

Day 1 "Hakuna Matata"

Day 1, and all i could think of was "Hakuna Matata" words from my sons michaels favorite movie. Michael is 27 years old and physically and mentally challenged. as is birth age is 27 is but his mental age is 3. Michael has watched this movie over 1000 times, and recites the words from each character beginning to end.

The Journey Begins July 1

I have decided to make July 1 the beginning of my 29 days of giving.

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: to develop internally the spirit of giving and expecting nothing in return.

What I'd most like to receive:: the gift of learning

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: book

About me:: I am mother of 4 children, 3 daughters who i cherish with all my heart, and my son, who teaches me daily of patience and strength. i am learning to live each moment to its fullest. I am very lucky to work for the YMCA, my role is helping others find the drive to help their heart beat stronger, breath last longer, and their mind find peace.. I have 3 dogs that are the world to us, Logan, Annie, and Lola. I have been married to my husband, for 23 years, and taking each step slowly as we grow older.

Day 5- Blueberry Pancakes

Posted on July 5, 2010 at 5:26pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Today's gift was to the sports and fit 4 me camp. The day after a holiday, very few kids. both camps had only a total of 18 children with 6 staff. Was 95 degrees out, and no one felt like going outside a moving.

I decided to go the grocery store and purchase all the items needed to make whole wheat pancakes, with fresh picked blueberries and local maple syrup.. I brought back to the staff and kids, and they began to involve everyone to mix the batter and get ready to…

Posted on July 2, 2010 at 5:31pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Today , my second Day of giving comes as a bitter sweet week. Friday is the busiest day for me, with classes and camp today.. I start teaching an hour of indoor cycling, followed by a yoga class and then another pilates/yoga class at noon. Part of me hoped it would be a quiet day, but 2 minutes before class most of my regulars had come running in to make class, and was so excited after all their rushing and getting children to the sitters, that i was standing by the door, with water and a… Continue
