Today I was driving around with my kids running errands about ready to just explode. I don't know what it was that made today anymore stressful than the rest, so I decided to go to the gym and at least get a good work out. Well today was ladies night and they had vendor's galore all in front not to mention the Oklahoma blood donation bus on the front lawn. I thought about donating my blood but was not to sure just yet. I went thru my workout met great people got some news clients and left feeling extra special and grateful then I saw the bus. So I took my kids home told my husband I would be back after I donate my blood. I have always wanted to do this especially more often since I am 0- but the last 2 times I did I got massive bruises and a lot of pain. Some how I knew today would be different, and I was right. They had no problem finding my small rolling veins, I didn't bruise and have no pain or dizziness. So that left me feeling even better for doing my part to help other's. I tend to go above and beyond to do whatever I can to help and sometimes it annoys my husband, but that is just they way I am. So I have been trying to pick my volunteer works closely and still be around for the family. Someone always told me:
Any little thing you can think of to help other's is a big deal so don't ever think your not doing enough cause you are. I remind myself of that everyday. So on that note I would love to hear from you on one of your favorite volunteer stories. In fact every person who participates with this will be entered in a drawing for a free skin-so-soft basket (a $30 value) for just sharing your stories. I will let this run until Aug 12Th, 2009 and email the winner along with announcing in a blog. Please send me a private message with your email so I may contact you when you win. Good Luck and I cant wait to read your stories.

You are so braver than I am. I hated all the times I had to give blood when I was pregnant. This is something I wish I had the strength to do, and have tried but haven't been successful. One day I'll have the strength to do it.
I provide women who are battling ovarian cancer the gift of a redesign of one of the rooms in their home. A healing haven if you will. In the 2 years I have done this I have made a number of friends and of course cried huge tears for the women who have not made it.
I am slowly making my way around to all the blogs that visited me when I was featured on SITS to say "Thank you". It is indeed a fabulous SITStahood.
Be blessed!
I do believe that every little thing counts. Like Mother Theresa says, that ocean wouldn't be as full without the one drop.
Thanks for stopping by today!
