I am grateful for my beautiful familly, my two kids and wonderful supporting husband. I am grateful for having the means to go back to school and pursue a career path that I am passionate about. I am grateful for the great job I currently have tha...
Helpig someone in that position is just what they need...it will lift their spirits and change their life...Go For It!!! Don't worry about being offensive...she will lov you for it!! What a great gift!
House cleaning is a great gift!
Taking care of a loved one with cancer really does drain you in a way only those who have had to do it can understand. Being a caregiver is one of the hardest jobs you can ever do. I know just your meals have been ...
This is a wonderful idea. Also something to think about, the child may need a change of scenery too as usually they absorb everything the parents are going through. Maybe you know someone with kid/s the same age that could take him for a play date...
What an amazing offer and gift of service! If I were on the receiving end, I wouldn't consider it rude, especially if it were presented in a way that made me feel like there was someone who wanted to take care of me, even for a little while.

What a wonderful idea!
Maybe you could tell her that you're giving her the gift of your time for a day, and she gets to decide what you do. This way, if getting the laundry done is much more important to her than dishes (or whatever the case may ...
You are a wonderful and caring person. What a great gift that would be for your friend. Hopefully her days will be brighter soon. Happy day and smiles your way:)
When our eighteen month old son died from an accident a friend came over with rubber gloves, container of cleaning supplies and told me to sit and watch her clean. I had been completely overtaken by despair and could not function. She then told me...
Very nice, as well, Sissy.
Great suggestion!
Having been on the receiving end of just such kind of help after a rare open heart surgery, I would just give her a hug and tell her it's your turn to pass on the good that has been given to you and, when her life takes a better turn, she is to pa...
There is a vendor from one of my fundraising events who told me her husband is suffering from Cancer. I have brought over a meal once in a while and helped with her son's birthday party. Today when I came by to drop something off her house was in ...

Supporting our Local Farmers
I've been trying to eat Organic and healthier over the past few weeks, and I decided to take it one step further....We started looking into our local farmers for meat and fresh produce.
It is becoming a wonderful experience. It Makes me feel great helping local farmers who are struggling; compared to the big Food Giants who mass produce their animals and crops with hormones etc.... It is pricier but, it is actually keeping me out of our grocery store; which in turn prevents me from eating all t… Continue

Finally Got my hands on a book
Went to our local chapters and there it was Cami's book. I bought it, and as I browsed another lady was in the section and I encouraged her to read it too, when I went to the line up to check out I noticed the lady had it under her arm.
Upcoming gives, 2 BOO bags to drop anonomously on 2 of my neighbors doorsteps and a birthday cake for my friend's son who's husband/dad is dying of Cancer.

Stopping in :)
Hello all,
I haven't had time to blog much, I'm currently trying to juggle going back to school (my gift to me) while juggling working fulltime still.
I have been giving everyday, small random acts of kindness, but just haven't had time to blog everyday. I'm currently at work with some down time and I thought I would come and blog a little.
Let's see, I started making eggrolls for my fundraising efforts for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer 2010
A friend of ours, has 3 kids in school already… Continue

Last few days of giving
My neighbor wanted company to take her daughters to a play group, but she needed help because one of her kids is only 7 weeks old. I was really busy and didn't really have time, but I decided to slow it down and give her some company and a hand.
My next give took a couple of days. It was for my son. We are having a kiddie halloween party on the 17th, I was planning on throwing on my annual devil head band and calling it a costume. My 3 year old son is currently obsessed with transformers and is… Continue
