Look For The Helpers

Happy Saturday. 

Today I'm excited because we have a winner of the book Perfectly You ... congratulations to Kristina D. Her name was randomly pulled from all of the comments the old-fashioned way, out of a hat, by our son Joshua. I will be in touch to get your author-signed copy to you. 

Thank you, Julia V. Taylor, for this generous gift!

Our school family is hosting a one-day blitz on Monday to help our friends in West, Texas who were displaced after the horrible fertilizer plant explosion out there this week. From what we understand, the most helpful thing right now would be to send ready-to-eat, non-perishable food items, so that's what we're collecting for them.

Did you see the report about the students from the middle school in West who were pushing wheelchairs down the road as they helped the elderly evacuate?

 I just love how people come together and jump in to help when there's a need. 

 One of the bloggers whom I admire and have become friends with is also helping a friend in need this weekend. Click the graphic above to go to Runde's Room and read all about it. Her creations are AmAzInG and she's going to donate the profit from her sales to helping Taten get better. Jennifer, keep up the heart work!

What need are you helping to fill this weekend?
