I’m a twentysomething, military wife, mother, writer, teacher, and friend who’s just trying to do the right thing.

Dalai Lama
"It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come."

Act 61
I filled a flat rate box with handbags for Handbags for Hope (http://susannichole.com/handbags-hope-haiti-relief/). I have some really cute ones that aren’t practical for me anymore, and I was so happy that I could find a great cause using handbag donations.

I made 28 cards for A Million Thanks (http://www.amillionthanks.org/). I used to send them cards all the time before I became a mom. I need to get back to work.

Act 40
My pregnant belly led me to Orange Julius. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed one of their sweet treats since my pregnancy with Chloe. My Strawberry and Banana Julius was divine, and I was also pleased to see I could add a buck to my order and have it donated to Children’s Miracle Network. If you’re at the mall, stop by for a sweet treat and help a child.

George Washington Carver
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these.

Costco is currently asking shoppers to make a donation to Seattle Children’s Hospital. I made my donation in Chloe’s name.

Howard Zinn
"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places -- and there are so many -- where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction."

Barack Obama
"You know, there's a lot of talk in this country about the federal deficit. But I think we should talk more about our empathy deficit -- the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the world through the eyes of those who are different from us -- the child who's hungry, the steelworker who's been laid-off, the family who lost the entire life they built together when the storm came to town. When you think like this -- when you choose to broaden your ambit of concern and empathize with the plight of others, whether they are close friends or distant strangers -- it becomes harder not to act; harder not to help."
Act 34
We had to go back to the store today, and we made another food donation for the homeless. I think it’s great when stores make it easy for people to give.

Starbucks for a Homeless Vet
Seeing his appreciative, toothless grin made this small act feel amazing.

Act 29
Today I donated some books to the Boys & Girls Club. I have a hard time giving up my books. I’m not sure why. I guess looking at them lined on shelves makes me feel like I’ve achieved something. However, I’m a strong believer that books are to be read and enjoyed. These were some newer books (Twilight, New Moon, The Notebook, ect.) that I knew I wouldn’t read again, and hopefully someone else can enjoy them.
