XEROX is doing it again!!

Cindy — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:06:42 +0000

Kudos go to Xerox.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!
It is FREE and it only takes a few seconds.

Go to www.LetsSayThanks.com and pick out a thank you card.
Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently
serving in Iraq. You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to a
member of the armed services.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?
Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need
to know we are behind them.

This takes just 10 seconds and it’s a wonderful way to say thank you.
Please take the time to send one yourself and and tell everyone you
know to do the same.

We can never say enough thank you’s.

Thanks for taking the time to support our military!
10 seconds is not to much to ask.

What dose your smile say about you?

Cindy — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:05:22 +0000

What is a smile worth? You will have to admit it, people look better when they smile. When a person smiles it is like turning on a light bulb. The face lights up as if it glows.

Did you know it takes less effort to smile than it does to frown?

There is an organization that does nothing but improve smiles. It is called the Smile Train.

Smile Train is changing the world, one smile at a time.

What is on Your Christmas Shopping List?

Cindy — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:58:24 +0000

My Christmas shopping list is easy this year, I am buying a cow. No one in may family needs anything, not one thing. So I am buying something that someone can really use. Not only use now, but for years to come.

I am buying a cow through Heifer International. This cow will be given to a family so that they can not only drink the milk but also sell the milk to others. My family will be helping another family that they will never
meet. If gift giving is something that is a Christmas tradition I think that it should be a gift that will make a difference.

My very young great niece will be the only one with a gift to hold. I am giving her a Beanie Baby Cow. I will show her the book about what Heifer International does. Knowing her she will want to send the ducks, and the
llamas, the bunnies, and the chickens too.

My family gives me donations to the Humane Society, the U.S.O. and Make-A Wish. I am just adding one more worthy cause, Heifer International. I won’t have to worry about the item fitting or anyone having to exchange it. My shopping will be complete in one transaction. HHCTB?

Will my family understand?
You betcha… after all they know me well.
Will my great niece understand?
She loves animals, I am sure that even at her young age she will understand.

Have you seen this animal commercial?

Cindy — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:30:50 +0000

Every time I hear the haughty music on TV I get a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart. It is the ad for the Humane Society of the United States. It features pictures of abused, starved and mistreated animals.
The spokeswoman tells about dog fighting, puppy mills, torture, over population and death. I simply must turn away. I cannot stand to either listen to or watch this commercial.

Regular readers of my blog know that I LOVE animals. I am sure this ad tugs at the heart and the purse strings of many.

My very young, great niece takes her piggy bank to her father with tears in her eyes pleading with him to, “please send this money to the animals”, when ever she see this commercial.

The marketing firm can be commended for a great commercial…it is one of the most heart wrenching I have ever seen.
Click to watch.
Get out your credit card or your check book and a tissue.
