The Mother Letter Project.

Today I was feeling sad. I always feel sad when it is time to take the Christmas tree down.
I am glad for the New Year, don't get me wrong....I feel excited for all the adventures which are to come our way. I am excited for all the new memories to be made, laughter to be shared and love to be felt....but I really don't like putting my angels, snowmen, camels, reindeers, santas, elves and twinkly lights away.
So with a little bit of time to myself I made a BIG cuppa coffee, and sliced a chunk out of my banana bread, and sat down at the computor......and got drawn into this crazy world of blogging.
I love to skip-hippity-jump from one blog to the next. I laugh and feel reassured that I am not the only crazy mom out there! And I found this blog and it brought tears to my eyes and made me so sad that I only found it today and not before Christmas....(when you read it you will understand). So grab some coffee and cake, out your feet up and read about Seth, his amazing love for his wife and family and how they made a difference this Christmas...and lifted my spirits so high.

My Joy:
For

three years I have sponsored a little girl through PLAN INTERNATIONAL. Florence (on left in picture) lives with her mom, sister and brother in a little village called Luwero in Uganda. In those three years, Plan has made a huge difference in the village. They have a school, medical care, drinking water and private latrines. Plan teaches the adults about successful crop growing, and other useful life skills. I am honoured to help this little girl and it is my dream to take Scout to visit Florence when Scout can really appreciate the impact of what helping others is all about.
