The Great Gift of Giving....

I decided to help me focus on all that I do have and not all that I am losing and have lost that I should put my focus on giving to others that have less than me. It has been incredible.

I have been posting things in the "free" section on Craigslist for families in need. I have so many new or barely used toys and clothes from my Ebay store that we don't need. I have been able to help so many people in the last couple days. It has been incredible. I have had people I didn't know hug me with tears in their eyes with gratitude. I never expected giving to others would be the gift I give myself.

I have donated half of the kids books to children who don't have the resources to have them. I found a children's cancer hospital to donate a huge amount of toys to. That meant alot to me because everything we went thru with Jayde, being in the hospital so much with her.

Helping others just feels good. It brings warmth and happiness to your heart. It really has taken me out of my own personal sadness over what I am losing and have lost.

I write this post tonight feeling really good inside. I have done good and you know what it feels good!

I want to make my life have a purpose. I am starting to see the clear path God has for me. A path I would not have seen without going thru all the hardship. I feel blessed and grateful for all that I have.

I feel so unbelievably grateful for Loral and her team and this huge opportunity to turn our family around.
