That was such an unselfish thing to do, to call your sister back. It is very disappointing when your hopes of all family being together on a holiday do not materialize. I wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving with your husband and children. Very…
Very nice gives! Happy day to you and enjoy all you can :o)
i love movie night with popcorn! have a great time!
I had the opportunity to visit a Ronald McDonald house and it was an experience I will never forget! So many sad stories but so many smiles too. The tiniest expression of kindness and you are given so much more in return. Blessings to you for a gr8…
Jean will be very thankful for the card; it will arrive at a very good time.
Yesterday I went online and ordered some videos for my Mother. Today I bought my granddaughter a video; she is coming this weekend and we will have a movie night tonight, with popcorn and the works! I also dropped some money in the Ronald McDonald H…

now, now ... don't be belittling your gifts. *tsk tsk* ask your boss or your kitty or the card recipient if they appreciated what you did today? i'm guessing the answer would be "yes!" =) your gifts may not seem monumental, but you touched people (a…
Emily, that sounds like a great gift to me. I know I would have appreciated it! :)
That's a good give!

Day 7
We finally saw a little sunshine around here today! It was a beautiful day. I baked muffins and took some to my parents, along with a magazine I know my Mom enjoys. We were blessed by a neighbor giving us sweet potatoes, more than we could use, which we in turn, have shared with some others.
My husband made breakfast for me this morning so the day started out well. My Mom gave me a can of pumpkin to make my Thanksgiving pumpkin pies with! :)

Day 6
I donated a coat to a coat drive and some other clothes to a family that really could use them. We are so blessed - I buy clothes for my granddaughter to use when here if needed, and often times, she wears them once or twice, if at all, before she outgrows them. I was happy to pass those along. We used them when needed, now someone else can use them. I also took her shopping for some needed items and a coat and new shoes. We had a nice lunch together and a very pleasant trip that we both enjoyed… Continue

Days 4 & 5
Yesterday I went online and ordered some videos for my Mother. Today I bought my granddaughter a video; she is coming this weekend and we will have a movie night tonight, with popcorn and the works! I also dropped some money in the Ronald McDonald House collection box at McDonald's when I picked up a quick burger at lunch. I know it's difficult to have a family member sick and have to stay for extended periods of time away from home while they are getting well. I feel good about lending a hand t… Continue

Day Three
Today I gave a bag of food to the local food bank. A local grocery store had some prepackaged grocery bags that you can purchase and donate, and you can also donate any items you wish in a box up front of the store. My boss told me I could have the afternoon off....a gift to me! My husband was at home, so I stopped and got lunch for us and we had lunch together here at home. We have had heavy rains - 5 inches in the last two days & still raining....and so we sat inside and took naps! A great… Continue

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…

Gabrielle,
I am a high school teacher and my experience is that there are very few 17 year old girls out there that are as wise and mature as you. I wish I had the insight you have when I was your age --shoot, when I was 27! It takes most women so l…
Gabrielle...you are a wise soul. I'm so happy you found your truth and can now speak your truth.

I only gave a small gift today as I spent most of it sequestered in my home cleaning. I actually woke up in a panic that I had forgotten to give yesterday! Then I remembered that I did actually give a bottle of Prosecco to my friends as a thank you…
Thanks ladies for your sweet comments and reminding me I am not alone in this world:-) I thought about volunteering on Christmas day at a homeless shelter. I looked one up called 'the Pine Street Inn' here in Boston but I need to go through an appli…
Today my gift is going to be to take Charlie to get his picture taken with Santa. Chris and Charlie and I are going to the nearby mall to get his pictures taken. I feel like this could wait until one day this week, but I am happy Chris will get to b…

Well, I lost track of where I was in round two, which is to say, I wasn't doing a very good job of self-care!
I recently had a reading with Mbali. I was very frazzled going into it. Had a lot going on in several directions. Then the house phone sta…
