I might just have a NoBloPoMo

Judy mentioned in one of her posts recently that it seems many bloggers are taking a break from writing - all for a variety of reasons. She suggested that maybe we all need a NoBloPoMo (a No Blog Posting Month)…

… I might just have one right about now.

Secret Attached Baby - Not so Secret Anymore

I have the handy little Windows Vista side-bar thingy on my computer’s desktop and one of my Gadgets is the feed to the CNN top stories.

Live Life!

I thought it fitting to give a thanks and shout-out during National Donate Life Month to Scribblescratch.com and Lori Jaclyns Jewels…

Why, now?

Because, last month I won a contest on Scribblescratch.com for a customized piece of jewelry - designed especially for me and just in time for my personal reason to celebrate April.

I chose an anklet featuring the pendent “Live Life” and gave jewelry designer, Lori, some ideas for colors/style. She created the beautiful piece you see here.

As I wear it I’m reminded daily of my own brother (who gave me one of his kidneys) and organ and tissue donors everywhere. Not a moment goes by that I don’t give thanks to those who have given so unselfishly and for the families of others who have made the decision on behalf of a loved one who has passed.

… and a BIG THANKS to Teresa for hosting the contest, and Lori for her patience and awesome jewlery design!
