Give From The Heart

Seek And Ye Shall Find

February 5, 2010

Some of you know that on this blog I only post good things on Friday. By that, I mean “not negative.” As I told you in the beginning if we look for the good, we are likely to find it. Some days it is harder to find good than on others, but [...]

Gimme Shelter

January 21, 2010

It’s not Only The Good Friday, yet, my friends. I know that, but this can’t wait. I bet when you look at the television news you aren’t seeing a lot of good. Images of the suffering in Haiti are overwhelming, aren’t they? I feel helpless. Those people have lost their [...]

One Million Acts of Kindness — A Lifetime Goal

January 15, 2010

Kindness. Do you think that the trait of kindness is innate, or is it something that we “learn?” I’m not sure that everyone is born with it, but I think that most people can learn to be kind … although it takes practice. By practicing simple acts of kindness, I think we [...]

All Warm Inside

January 8, 2010

Is it cold at your house? Around here it is the coldest it’s been in thirteen years! If you live in the north, I know you snicker when we complain about a couple of days of wind chill in the teens, but Texans aren’t always physically or mentally prepared for the Arctic blasts.
Last [...]

Now It’s Time For A Trip To The Food Bank

December 13, 2009

Many thanks to all of you who left “comments for cans!” I have felt some “good energy” coming from you the last few days. Now, I’m excited about a trip to the Tarrant Area Food Bank tomorrow to donate 125 cans.
As I wandered through the grocery aisles gathering those cans for [...]

A Week of Feasting

December 11, 2009

Food has been the focus of my week … not for me (because Lord knows I could stand to slow down on eating a bit — I’m already a member of The Sisterhood of the Grappling Pants), but for others. That is my good for this Only The Good Friday. If you are [...]

One Comment Equals One Can To The Food Bank

December 6, 2009

Chances are pretty darned good that if you are reading this you are not one of the one out of six Americans who go hungry. According to a department of agriculture survey, that number doesn’t include folks who have food only because they are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. Food banks [...]

Another Opportunity For Folks With Big Hearts

November 13, 2009

Holidays are around the corner, and I’ve noticed that people open their hearts to others this time of year. Especially I see that knitters and crocheters all over the internet keep their hands busy creating items to give away. But, you don’t have to be crafty to give … just creative. You [...]

Tattooed Librarians?

November 2, 2009

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read that the Texas Library Association had a calendar for next year featuring librarians with tattoos. Yes, they really do! They are raising money for the TLA Library Disaster Relief Fund … and I suppose they are also trying to change the [...]

In Emergencies, The Red Cross AND Facebook Are Good

October 2, 2009

My blogging friend, Sophiagurl, believes that Life Is What You Make It. The beauty of her spirit shines through when she writes. She lives on the “busy streets of Manila” with two beautiful children and a loving husband. She likes “weaving dreams and magical things.”
Manila …
Ondoy!
TYPHOON! [...]

Make A Difference Day — It’s Good!

September 18, 2009

I’m looking forward to Saturday, October 24, 2009. It’s called National Make A Difference Day, and it’s a “celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.” That seemed like a “good” thing to share with you this Friday. At least y’all mateys it’s probably better than the International Talk Like A Pirate Day that I [...]

2-1-1. It’s A Good Call.

August 21, 2009

If the sagging economy is hitting you right where it hurts, these three numbers might be the best ones you have ever dialed: “2-1-1.”
OK, I know that you don’t have a rotary phone. Punch the number, then (punch it hard — it might make you feel better). But, if you need help, make [...]

Yes, it is a “good Friday,” my friends. For almost a year, people from all over the world have utilized their time and talents to bring cheer to children with cancer. They have been making “medicine bags” and sending lucky charms to deliver to children at Camp Sanguinity.
These are kids with cancer, and [...]

Only The Good Friday

March 20, 2009

I am always in awe of people with courage. I’m talking courage with a capital “C.” It’s the kind of courage that you can’t even know you have until you are faced with an impossible situation. I have no illusions about myself — I know I don’t have it! If you [...]
