Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I have come to a place where I feel like I am treading water and not going anywhere. I need to look outside of myself for a while.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- A steady stream of income to support my family and energy to care for my 2 year old granddaughter.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- About.com
- About me:
- I am now in a position of raising my 2 year old granddaughter for a season. She is my 12th grandchild. I also have 2 great-granddaughters. I love being a grandma, but I find it challenging to be the caregiver on a permanent basis. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
My husband of 25 years is truly my best friend. We talk about everything. My home has always been by his side, where ever that is.
I have 4 children and 1 stepson. They are our joy.

Elly Rose's Blog
An update since my last blog
I have made a discovery, I like to blog. I am taking a break from the 29 gift site. I drop in from time to time. I really do enjoy the writing. So I have continued to blog off this site. My sister was the main reason that I blogged anywhere on line. She wanted to continue to read my daily journal. When I miss a few days, she reminds me to update. She is my biggest fan.

Day 29 Self Care Round
November 6, 2009
It is with a sigh of relief that I write this blog tonight. It is the last day of my self care round. It has been a difficult round, but I have learned lessons from it. I wondered why Mbali had us water a plant and I think I am beginning to grasp why.
When I began this round I knew that I had a black thumb and was not able to raise a plant. I had to go and buy the plant and the pot. I purposely chose a slow growing plant. That way I wouldn’t be disappointed at the end of the r… Continue

Day 25-28 Self Care Round
November 2, 2009
My son, Kathy’s dad called and needed some medical history. I had given him all of his history years ago, he can’t find it. So I emailed him a brief history.
Paul had to replace the wheel bearing of the car. He started in the afternoon, positive he would be done by sunset. He wasn’t, so my big give today was to stand out my car and then waved at motion detector light when it went out. Paul fixed car and we were able to take a test drive during a perfect evening.

- Thankyou so much for welcoming me! I am having a bit of a challenge navigating the site (I'm not the most computer savvy person I know!) and a lot of this seems foreign. I do, really, really appreciate the welcome! Thanks again!

I finished my (1st) challenge at the end of November. I'm just now reading 29 Gifts. I wanted to come back to the site today to see some of the other givers' gifts. I loved it when I thought I had forgotten to give and realized I had. Prosecco is a…
My son and I were out Christmas shopping. We saw a mother with two children sitting by the side of the road. She was holding a sign that said the family had fallen on hard times and she was selling bottled water for $1. She looked so sad. We pulled…
On Day 5 I also gave a gift to myself. I talked to Mbali to get my personalized medicine necklace. I am so excited to add this part to my healing journey.
On Day 6 I again went to the hospital to support my sister, her husband and my niece. I am ve…
