This & That
I’m doing my taxes – ugh!
Wish I had this earlier – it would have made things so much easier.
Yes – this is a shameless plug for my:

She’s a fantastict organizer, and shares lots a great ideas, free tips and downloads, and now and then, has some pretty darn good giveaways! If you think of it – tell her that Libby’s Library sent you.
Next on today’s agenda. I noticed that some very sweet young ladies have started a Facebook Page called Race for a Cure. They have made some very pretty bracelets, earrings and necklaces that they have up for sale. They are even offering to make custom pieces. Most items are priced at $5, $8, and $10. I just bought 2 bracelets, and want a couple of custom pieces. Won’t you help these girls out, and go take a look around. Their goal is to raise $1,000. Head on over to Race for a Cure, and let these girls know that you support their efforts, and applaud their hard work and ingenuity!
Here is what I just got:
$10.00 for 2 Bracelets…and all for a great cause. What could be better than that? Well, I’m donating the bracelets to one of m favorite non-profits. They will go into a raffle, to raise money for scholarships. *And what I love about this group, is that a lot of the scholarships go to students who are part of a “middle class” family. Households that make too much money to qualify for a lot of other scholarship programs, but don’t make enough money to be able to pay for tuition and fees. Yep – Families like most of us, who work hard, pay our bills, and our taxes.
PLEASE OH PLEASE – don’t leave me nasty comments, about poor people needing and deserving “help”.
I have no problems with giving where there is a true need. I just don’t believe in continuous handouts, to those who are able to support themselves. We have become a Nation of Hand Outs, when we should be a Nation of Hands UP. Lifting citizens out of the mode of perpetual assistance, and into the mode of being able to support themselves, or in needing less. Okay – I’m stepping off of my soapbox now.
