be (RED)
My good friend Lynn and I decided this year to choose a word- one word to be our motto for the year.It ends up that my word was such a powerful word that we are both claiming it. My word is "Be"
Today I ventured into my local Hallmark store hoping to find Yankee candles. I have found that there is something relaxing about burning a good smelling candle while I work - either piecing or quilting my quilts. Therefore I was on a mission for one of those scents that just sends you. Lilac is by far my very favorite scent but today I bought a Vera Cruz Vanilla Yankee Candle. Ok, I did buy a lilac candle also, it is a Beanpod candle.
But, the most exciting part of my visit today was the (PRODUCT)RED stuff that Hallmark is selling and the cause behind it. I so appreciate when a corporation takes on a cause and then because we are Americans and we spend money like nobody's business, they take the proceeds and do good things with some of it. Hallmark and various other companies are now taking some of those proceeds and helping people in Africa who have AIDS. Who needs big government to do it? Given time and a some caring people we Americans step it up and take on compassionate causes just because we can and just because we have such big hearts, and just because we know how blessed we really are to be Americans.
I helped out today but then again how could I not.
oh yeah, and Be Blessed my friends.
