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:

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. :) […]

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.
