I am not meaning to neglect my updates. I am in the midst of finals and running on fumes.
Great news is I have had two donations! (Your tax deductible receipts are on the way) That means they have some wonderful odds of winning some great raffle prizes in January. They both touched my heart immensely.
One is from a person who I know is struggling with keeping her family fed and her husband is unemployed. Words can't express how much her sacrifice means to me and I promise to honor it. She also gave me my first journal, which I filled up long ago and have kept new ones going since. Even if I just write a sentence, it still gets written in everyday.
The other is from a family who I "adopted" (or they "adopted" me)in New York. I spent valued time in conversation with "Mema". Her words of wisdom and example of compassion have done a lot in shaping the woman I hope to become. I just burst out in tears when their unexpected donation arrived in my PO Box (first usage of the PO box :) ).
My German sister has offered to add some of her incredible artwork to the raffle! My great Aunt offered to sew something to add to the mix too! I am SO BLESSED.I have received many treasured words of encouragement and advice. What a difference it makes in a perspective of life when you have people who believe in you! I do not know what I would do without such an amazing circle of support.
Hoping to get through finals with my sanity intact...
Thank you all for your love!
