Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I'm turning forty Friday March 13th 2009 and I feel very lucky to have a comfortable life now and want to give back to others. I found this site just when I needed some inspiration ... and Cami seems to be sending me the right messages through her blogs, just when I need them.
What I'd most like to receive:
The joy of giving without any strings attached. The introspection of being consciously aware of my giving spirit. Finally, learning that it is alright to give to myself!

The yellow and white corn are a little over an inch tall, the beans are even taller and have little tiny green leaves, the peas are beginning to sprout, the lettuce have little tiny leaves and shoots, the carrots have tiny little greeen shoots coming up, the pickling cucumbers and regular cucmbers have sprouted (but nothing seen from the lemon cucumbers yet).

February was a strange month - Welcome March!

I'm somewhere in round 5 - YEAH!

I was sick for the middle weeks of February - ended up on antibiotics for two weeks, so I had to give to ME and spend time in bed!

Now my kiddos are sick, my son has Strep throat and my daughter has a cough/cold... So my gives are all about them! And a little bit to me because I am trying to give LOVE and support without getting any germs back!

Tonight I am going to give to my hubby and take him out to dinner since the antibiotics are kicking in and my son has… Continue
