Loving the feeling of giving...

Before I tell you about my week, I found out last night that I give everyday and didn't even know it. Super cool feeling! A friend I grew up with sent me a Facebook message... side note: social media can be a blessing. I use it to connect with the people I grew up with, who are so far away, the people I went to college with, again so far away, and with my students present and past. ANYWAY, she said she looks forward to my posts because they make her smile. My posts are always positive and they…See More

Lost track of the days!!

Man, I've missed y'all! I've had such an amazing week. Giving feels so good, it's addictive!!Monday, I bought creamer and sugar for the people in my office. Someone always keeps the coffee flowing and I'm always refilling my cup, but it's been so long since I've contributed. I can be such a bum sometimes. It felt good to contribute and I was right on time too. We were out of sugar and the creamer was... Chunky. ;)Tuesday, I drew a picture of 2 girls hugging and wrote a "Miss you" and "Love you"…See More

Days 5-6: Super-SPIRIT-bowl

I'm from Pittsburgh, born and STEELER raised, so football is huge in my family and nothing is huge-er than the Superbowl. I'm head of the Change is Possible Movement Raleigh Chapter. We are a group of people who believe it's up to us to help our communities. We take pride in volunteering, donating, and helping however we can. As a football baby, I felt bad that the residents of the Raleigh Rescue Mission can't or don't get to celebrate the Superbowl, like I have all of my life. It's just one of…See More

Days 2 and 3: The joy of food

Kind of funny but both today and yesterday my gifts dealt with food! Thursday, my workstudy and I went to lunch. It was so nice to get out of the office and just sit and giggle. It felt great just to be girls. My treat was a huge, macadamia nut cookie! You would have thought I bought her a shrimp dinner! LolThis morning my mom and I dropped off my daughter at school, our dog at the vets, then snuck off to Ihop! Best breakfast ever!!Going to draw this evening! Thinking about giving away…See More

Day 1... A little breathing room

I'm so excited! What a great day! My sister asked for a few dollars. I know her so well. She'll only ask me for the bare minimum... Just enough so that it doesn't cripple my account and she can get the things she needs. Most of the time she'll nickel and dime herself or go without things until her next payday. We've all had periods in our lives where funds are tight. She's always been there for me, so I decided this morning to help her with a little extra money. I figured it would help relieve…See More
