A girlfriend is running a toys for tots campaign here on the net! If you want to send a new unwrapped toy to help benefit kids in need see the following blog post.

I guess we need to get something donated to her, so that she can add us to the blogroll!

We received the nicest thank you from a blog reader for a donation we sent to her church for a fund raiser.
below is an excerpt of the thank you note-
“Thank you for your donation of the jewelry tree for our Mother/Daughter Tea benefiting the Mina Project. The jewelry tree was a big hit and made the perfect addition to our Diva Basket, leading to intense bidding among the attendees. Thanks in part to your donation, the event was an overall success and memorable experience for all involved.”
That thank you note couldn’t have come at a better time for me! It reminds me that i am only one person, but that i can make a difference in the world. We all can!
Sara, if you read this post, we would love to hear a little bit about the Mina Project,and what you think the money you raised will go for.

I have recently been reminded that we could all be a little kinder to one another. We run around from place to place, picking up kids, running errands. Sometimes we could all just take a minute and look around us.
Is it really so hard to stop for a minute, and actually be in the moment? Things have been really tough here in Michigan. People are losing their homes, their jobs. Simple acts of kindness like just making eye contact with another human being sometimes make the difference for people.
For years, i worked from my home. I got so lonely, i would actually pick up the phone when a telemarketer would call!When i moved my office out of my home,it made all the difference to me. Sigh
I could stop and get my coffee at the grocery store in the morning. Chat at the bank. You would think that i waste more time doing all that. However, i think i get more done. Because now when i am at work, i am really working. Not surfing the net, reading my favorite blogs, folding laundry.
Some people are disciplined,and enjoy working from home. I am just not one of those people.
