Fw: Special Bonus to Help Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc.

 

We know that many causes have had a hard year, so we'd like to try something new to
help Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. that requires your participation, but is free and definitely easy.

iGive.com is going to attempt to donate $5,000 in just 24 hours to Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. and other causes.
 
For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one web search on our
site between now and noon Thursday, we'll give Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. a dollar. 

5,000 new members, $5,000.  No purchase necessary. 

Of course, if they search more (or buy something) they'll earn even more money for Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc..
Right now, we're donating $.02 per search and a bonus $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage.

Here's where you come in.  The only way Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more)
is if you invite them.  Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a
Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think
Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free!  You can even just forward
this e-mail.

This is the link:

We're really proud of our search capability, powered by Yahoo!  We've made tons of improvements over the
past four months, so we want lots of people to try it out and put it to the test.  If they keep on searching or
shopping after testing us out, so much the better for Hundred Cat Foundation, Inc. and iGive.com.

The details:
    - Offer active between now and 11:59 a.m., December 17, 2009 (Chicago time).
    - New members only (never have been an iGive member previously).  All the normal rules of membership, searching, and
        purchasing apply, our site has the details.
    - Once we've given away $5,000, the offer ends.

Fw: 7 Percent

THIS IS SO AWESOME....READ IT EVERY WEEK!!! Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"  1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.     Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 12. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 13. Don't compare your life to others.       You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.       But don't worry; God never blinks. 16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.       But the second one is up to you and no one else. 20. When it comes to going after what you love in life,       don't take no for an answer. 21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and wear the fancy lingerie.       Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 22. Over prepare, and then go with the flow.. 23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words       ''In five years will this matter?" 26.  Always choose life. 27. Forgive everyone everything. 28. What other people think of you is none of your business. 29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time. 30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 31. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 32. Believe in miracles. 33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of       anything you did or didn't do.. 34. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 35. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young. 36. Your children get only one childhood. 37. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 38.. Get outside every day, miracles are waiting everywhere. 39. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,       we'd grab ours back. 40. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 41. The best is yet to come. 42. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 43. Yield. 44. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift. Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%'. I'm in the 7%. Remember that I will always share my spoon with you! Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves

LOVE the feel of these boots - in my case, I ordered half a size bigger - and they do seem to run true to size - I just plan on wearing heavy socks with them when snow starts piling up here in PA!! Great look, very comfortable, haven't had a chance yet to evaluate the wear and waterproofness, but I'm sure I will soon!

My birthday wish!!!

Hi there - As many of you know, I am turning 40 this year, and in lieu of gifts - I ask for only 2 things please!! 1. Prayers for my dad and my family for healing and blessings!!   2. Check out my birthday wish on causes on Facebook and consider making a donation - no matter how small - I know the economic times are hitting everyone hard, so if not possible - it is okay!!! This is a cause close to my heart - and to see it fixed before the end of my lifetime here on earth is really important to me!!!   http://apps.facebook.com/causes/birthdays/170259?m=e0bc6388     Thanks!!! ((hugs)) Sonya/Xena

Yesterday Today Tomorrow. .. .

Had an okay visit with my dad yesterday - he isn't feeling well with the new infection again, so it was a rough visit. . .such a long trip, but today I just spent the day waiting for tomorrow and working on house stuff and bills - washed and cleaned up the interior in my car - anything to keep busy!!
Tomorrow I am so hoping for a good answer from my angels and to my prayers - I hope I am not setting myself up for disappointment - I have a tendency to do that - just waiting for an answer!!
Missing my bestest - she is at the beach - I would have LOVED to go but too much going on here (as usual. . .LOL!!) For me to get away - hope I hear from her tomorrow that they all made it safe and sound. .. sometimes I spend so much time waiting I forget to live in the now - like today. ..

My birthday?? Where did the time go??

I will be forty in a couple weeks - what the crap is up with that?? Last time I checked I think I was 32 - LOL!!
I no longer really do karaoke, online karaoke or pixel art or well, anything fun at all - looking back on forty years and seeing way too many regrets - when I graduated from high school, I remember my quote in the yearbook as being "to never regret anything" What happened to that person? Where is she? And where did my life go?
My dad is heading back to the hospital today with another blood infection - I tried thinking positive yesterday and turning over my worries for a bit - I have realized that is all but impossible in my life - I just hope my angels hear my prayers that we find a peaceful way through this situation. . .have you ever began to believe that there will be NO good answers??
Need to go get groceries with my three year old in tow - joy joy. . ..then I will come back here, cook dinner, do freaking dishes, go to bed and get up tomorrow to head back to Pitt to see my dad. . .hopefully for once this Sunday will actually BE a day of rest for me - I am burnt out. . .

Going to start up my blog again - just need a place to stick my thoughts. As many of my close friends know - have been through a lot this year in terms of my family I moved in Aug 2007 - my mom, who I loved soooo much she was like my best friend, passed away from emphysema in Oct 2007. My half brother was then killed in a vehicle accident in Feb 2008. Then my dad had a major blood clot in June of 2008 and has been hospitalized since then. Some days, it takes every ounce of my energy just to face another day. I have lost so much of who I thought I was along the way. All the things I used to do have stopped having meaning. It is so hard some days to have my hubby staying hours away all week and to still be a good mommy to my two wonderful children - they are polar opposites and 9 years apart - switching roles sometimes feels like pulling teeth.
Trying to be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, a good sister, a good friend - I have lost myself along the way. . .the good thing is I have also discovered a strength I didn't know I had - even before the last two years, I went through a LOT of tough situations, but the challenges of the last two years have sent me reeling at times. I used to love to sing, to do pixel art, and so many other things, but my life has lost its luster - here I hope to document one beautiful thing for every day to remind me why I am here.

Todays beautiful thought: There are angels surrounding us always, like guardians and friends sent from Heaven, asking them for help is all they wait for.

Today. . .

Today would have been my mom's 61st birthday - i am missing her so much - somedays, well, everyday, i would give almost anything to just be able to call her and talk, or get a mom hug. . .

What is up, where I will be, and what exactly am I trying to say. . .

Well, everyone who knows me knows what an up and down life I have led the last couple years - we have had some good news that my dad is going to Pit for evaluation in April - so this is hopeful - we need to stay positive and not allow ourselves to get over hopeful at the same time. A hard but nesecary balance. .
I have been back to the doc to adjust all my meds again - so I am NOT as likely to be up all night anymore - LOL, but I am feeling better, and getting things straightened out that I need to.
Signing my daughter up for preschool this fall later this week - oh where has the time gone? She was a baby like yesterday.

Our house plans are slowly all falling into place and God and the angels are taking care of us always - we are blessed, and yet at some times - it is so easy to forget that. My mom's birthday is March 31st and when I went to her house today, it just reminds me all over again how empty life is without her here so much of the time. . .

Karaoke semifinals on April the 3rd - wish me luck!! I need it - LOL!!! Thanks and take care until next time!! ((hugs))
