More Ways to Support

Lots going on around here. Hubster is going to be out of a job come the end of March and relocating is NOT and option for him. I am willing to relocate to Omaha where he could continue his current job but he is an only child and feels strongly about staying in the area and being able to see and spend time with his parents. He's in the process of updating and sending out resumes and hopefully something will become available. Fingers crossed.

A friend of mine recently found out the love of her life has brain cancer. They can treat but not cure her husband. They are ready to give it their all and are fighting with everything they have. If you are on facebook, I encourage you to join Grey Ribbon Crusade. Joan is looking to set up walk-a-thons in each city. Maybe you or someone you know can help. Check it out. It's a few seconds of your time and I know Joan would appreciate the support. She is currently trying to keep it a secret from Jim, though, so Shhh.

The Bridge and Beyond Project which provides hats, scarves, and mittens for the homeless and women and children in need in Ohio is still in need of all the above. If you knit or know someone who does, encourage them to share a couple pieces with some folks who REALLY need them.

Ripples of Difference ~ Get It Free

I'm a huge fan of charities and those who spend their time giving back and helping others. Some of us are fortunate enough to make it our life's work, others of us do what we can, when we can, through volunteering, personal financial support, organized walks, run or rides, or just by creating awareness to all less fortunate than ourselves.

We are always seeing news stories of different celebrities in their plights to make a difference. We applaud and commend them for their dedication to a cause. But what about the everyday people like you and me? When do we get to recognize them for their selfless acts and hard work to make the world a better place?

NOW

Ripples of Difference is an e-book collection of stories written by volunteers around the globe. It's what they've seen, what they've done to make a difference, and what they've learned along the way.

This book was first brought to my attention over a week ago and I've been so enthralled with the stories that I almost forgot to tell you about it. It's that good. Due to come out in hard copy in the next couple months, you can download the e-book FREE just by clicking here, or on the widget on my sidebar.

It's a challenge to all of us to continue to help people and strive to be better in doing so. It's riveting, emotional, and encouraging.
