Beautiful ladies with equally beautiful hearts! I'm sure your cheer was spread to infinite others through those whose lives you touched. Merry Christmas!
By the way I'm the one on the right :)
Christmas is not far away now!!!
While driving my older sister to work this morning I told her so excitedly how fun it's been every day stopping to let lots of traffic drive onto the main road and drive in front of me...
I told her how it's so fun…
Here is a Christmas wish from me to you :)
By the way I'm the one on the right :)

Hey Everyone!
My sisters and I "The Short Sistars" who uploaded an original very powerful and moving Youtube Video on Youtube last week called "Tsunami" which was written after the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 but is also in memory of last weeks Samoan Tsunami.

Something to try!!!! It could change your life!!!!!!
This could change your life!! - Some must tries!!!!!
In the Morning:
- Go outside and yell (as loud as your inhibitions will allow), “Life, I LOVE YOU!”
- Relax. Don’t hurry past the beauty. Joy is a gentle and living thing. Let it happen.
- Try to find something in your backyard that you’ve never seen before. (You’ll be surprised how many there are).
- Do something different: put your shirt on backwards, wear jandles with your suit, leave your watch at home, sit at a different chair at the br… Continue

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!
How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
Wow - great first day! Wait unitl you see how this challenge transforms you.
Harriet, this is beautiful. You are sharing your faith in God. I like that your love (as well as your daughter's love by her mission work) is being "sent around the world." As the crosses are sentimental to you, you must have received word from God…
Wow!! Running 12 miles is such an awesome thing to do!! So glad your son did not have cancer. Wonderful give Jeannine.
This was a very nice gift to your babysitter. I am sure she really appreciated the extra money this time of year.
I am training to run a half marathon to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Today I ran 12 miles and while doing so pictured donating the energy to cancer patients and there families.
It as only a few Christmas seasons ago that my son was admit…
What wonderful gives Harriet. I am sure they will be greatly appreciated.
My prayers are with you and your mother Cassandra!! Hang in there and know we all are pulling for you.
Yesterday I ordered "One Magic Christmas" a movie my mom and I used to watch around this time of year. It's a Mary Steenburgen movie and we love it. I found it online after we couldn't find it in stores. It's for her stocking but my sister and I usu…
I nearly finished getting gifts wrapped this afternoon. I just have a few more items to take care of and maybe one more small item to buy before Christmas arrives. Then we have several January birthdays to think about...but I don't want to jump ahea…
This morning i almost started to focus on my husband's attitude but remembered that I had joined this group and I was to only think about giving. I helped my 8 year old son pour milk into his cereal. This is something i seldom do. I made my sister a…
Mbali, this is a very timely subject and the title drew me in immediately. Like, Erin, I too am struggling with an issue of forgiveness, which leaves me feeling anger and distrust of another I only know on the surface, but several things have happen…
