A beautiful story Elly. And you sure do have to look after Elly, she's a gem and deserves the very best of love and care.
This group is for posting those "facts" that sound like they could be true, but have you thinking, well.......
Or just fun stuff that is weird.
But remember, keep it clean :)

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.

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.

Day 22-24 My Self Care Round
October 30, 2009
My plant looks amazing. I have already separated it once, now I have two plants. I need to separate one of the two again, making three plants. I hope to do that in a few days. I am new to this since I am just now learning that I could grow things. I think eventually I will put all of the plants in one big pot, but I need to research that a little. A side note, my chrysanthemums that I was given looks good too. It doesn’t seem to be growing but new blooms keep showing up.

- This has been a pleasant surprise to me and I appreciate the notes from
Elly Rose, Stacey S and Cindy. I truly have enjoyed the re-focus when starting my day as I am one of the lucky ones that can get ready for the day in peace and quiet since I leave for work at 6am. I found that planning my daily gift was a happy and relaxing time. Again, thanks for the encouragement and visits. BethM
