tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma. tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me!

although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here.

from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touched by angels".

amazing.

so on "for tuesday", you will find all sorts of ways you can make a difference!! you can donate your time, your prayers, your support, your love, some money...you can buy things that people have placed linky's to their stores to donate to the tuesday whitt memorial fund.

anyway, my tribute is to the super fab for tuesday blog...who is showing us angels in every day life...and allowing me {and you} to be part of it!



so here's a little ringer for the week...where you can be a big part of it! i have decided that for every comment i get today, i will donate $1 to neuroblastoma research. so, i will donate a minimum of $50...and since i'm not a millionaire, and hubs is freaked out that 6,345,892 people will comment, i'll cap the donation at $250. so, spread the word and don't cheat and comment 25 times!! go tell some other peeps and get the word out about neurobalstoma and let's make a difference!!

and there's a perfectly sweet little baby named kayleigh freeman who has spent her whole little life in NICU and there's a great little way for you to get some fab stuff and to help the family out too...go on over there too!

Leelou Blogs

and if you want to make a difference...and i know you do, come on over to project{happy hearts} on thursday, march 17th...where you can join in honoring tuesday and cora and ll kinds of angels. head over HERE to read more.




what are you doing? comment? come on!!!

I knew you were doing this in advance, blogged about it and I'm still sitting here crying! You move my heart in the kindest way! I know you'll get TONS of comments, because Angels always get results. :)
Kacey said…
Alright, I got side tracked at all of the links you mentioned before I commented. So, I want to make sure I get YOUR $1s worth and leave you some kind of juicy comment. So...I love that we were able to meet in this fabulous place we call blog land. I love that you appreciate people's differences. I love that you are a Do-ER and you are a genuine person. I love that you have a heart bigger than the size of Texas and you like to help others and try to change the world one little step at a time. Afterall, a small step is better than no step at all. It's people like you, who donate and organize that will help find a cure for cancer. And it's people like YOU offering comfort and support to those who are dealing with it and trying to support others efforts, who really make a difference.

Yep, I think that was worth YOUR $1.00. :D I hope you get cleaned out sista!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.
So, it's been a while since i posted...years, in fact.  I stumbled upon to an old post and thought, I need to write more.  So here we are now... My family looks completely different and times are different, but we are still just the same people.  We've added one...P got married 2 years ago and now we have A.  I will talk more about that later.  But isn't our pic soooo cute?   For now, life is crazy and wild and sometimes completely unpredictable, but we are still praying and playing together.  Ryan and I are on our 21st year of marriage (woot woot), and the kids are well, old!  P is 25 and happily married to A, and they are celebrating 2 years next month.   B is a junior,  has a job and is blowing our minds with all she is achieving in this world, and she's one of the funniest kids on the planet.  She's grown an amazing amount in all her therapies and in life in general...she's an advocate for all who struggle, and autism does not define her...she defines hersel
