My friend Bob Carney is raising funds for a cause I believe in. (I’ve been too quiet here and what better way to get back into things than supporting a friend who’s trying to help out others?) Bob goes out of his way to help people, and I’ve been been blessed many times […]
I got this from my friend Leo, and it’s worth passing on:
For the fifth year in a row, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, in Charleston. With each year of participation, I have added a loved on to my list of those whose struggles, and those whose memory, […]
A little while ago, a friend of mine named Chris Griffith all the way down in Florida ran in a Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. She and I have never met, but we are good friends online and she means the world to me. She had many choices about who she […]
Tomorrow night, well after you have changed all your clocks and are still surprised by what time it is, make sure to watch ABC at 8:00 to see a very deserving West Virginia family get an Extreme Home Makeover!
If you’ve never watched the show, it is certainly worth your time. You’ll not only get […]
I gave blood this week. It didn’t take much of my time and it was easy to do. See how easy? >>> Piece of cake!
I have so many reasons that I give blood, and all of them are people. I have a couple friends with breast cancer who are sharing their […]
It’s time again — the American Red Cross is asking for donations off all blood types.
For me, this is a no brainer. It doesn’t cost me anything but a little time to donate. My body will make more. I can save up to three lives with one donation. And they even give me cookies. :) […]
Today I was reminded yet again how much I love my furry kids — 3 cats and 2 dogs. Each and every one of them is a pet that someone else didn’t want or couldn’t keep.
The one thing they have in common is that we adopted them from the Putnam Animal Relief Center or […]
One of the sad facts about life in West Virginia is that we have a pretty high cancer rate. According to the National Cancer Institute, Putnam County has an average of 34 women annually who are diagnosed with breast cancer. We’re not such a big place. It’s likely that you know and […]
I’ve known for some time that it’s not about “what you have.” Lately it seems that it must be about who you take care of.
We have a big need for a new animal shelter in our community. I used to volunteer as a dog walker and I know the condition of the building and […]
Let’s talk about something people don’t like to discuss. Hey, it’s my blog and it’s on my mind. I’m writing it.I’ve been married now for 17 years. I love my husband, and I KNOW I have a good one. How do I know? Well, because things weren’t always this way.
I […]
