Thanks to everyone yesterday for supporting my dreams (even the completely unrealistic ones -- 'cause let's face it, eating cake every day without gaining weight just ain't gonna happen). I loved reading your dreams, too!Yesterday as I was browsing blogs, I came across something that took hold of me and wouldn't let go. No, it wasn't an alcohol-induced hallucination: it was CJ Redwine's Skip a Starbucks - Save a Life post, which I got to via Shannon Whitney Messenger's wonderful blog.
CJ and her family are trying to raise enough money to bring home their adopted Chinese daughter and they're asking for donations in exchange for some amazing prizes. A few years ago, my cousin adopted a little girl from China. I haven't 'met' her but I've seen countless photos and in every single one she's smiling and looking so happy.
It's easy as pie (yum!) to donate: all you need to do is go to CJ's site, put in a few details on PayPal and voila. If you can, please help bring CJ's new daughter home. And let's be honest -- Starbucks kinda sucks anyway! It hurts my tummy every time.
I'm out and about in rainy London Town tonight celebrating my husband's birthday with theatre and dinner (yay!) so I may not have time to visit blogs. But I'll get there tomorrow, promise! Happy Wednesday!
I love me some good causes, and this one's GREAT!
ReplyDeleteOooh, great great cause! Thanks for pointing this out!
ReplyDeleteOh hope it was a great cause, anything i can do just holla haha... but say happy birthday to hubby and have fun sweetie :)
