New stuff, Seriously Good Stuff!

Lots of things are happening these days. My civil service job was cut. I'm still employed until they find me a place to transfer (within the gates of my current location) or an involuntary separation happens because they have no place to put me. 

I'm ok with this turn of events most of the time because I know God is in control. Then there are those times when a little fountain of frantic begins to well up in me and I find myself more than a little afraid. Years of living and experiencing has taught me to use fear as a trigger to lean on God again and I pray. So, most of the time I'm ok. 

I hope you will pray for me as well. 

In part because of the turmoul on the work front, I've started a new venture. I became a Pampered Chef consultant. I did it for plenty of reasons. Here's my top three

1. It's FUN! 
2. I LOVE the products and can't afford to buy them all by myself 
3. I really respect the company and what it does as a corporate citizen. 

There are a ton more great reasons : I set my own hours, I pick my own goals, I decide what's important and! another really BIG one ... 

I can use my business to benefit organizations doing great things out there in my community and the world. 


SO here goes. I'm doing a fundraising catalog show to benefit Fisher House Foundation Inc. FOr those who really love Fisher House and all they do -- here's the link!


FOr those who want to know more about them .... read on.


The Fisher House Foundation has houses near military hospitals all over. They work a lot like the Ronald McDonald House by providing military family members a place to stay while their loved one is being cared for in a military hospital. 
The military hospitals aren't just treating wounded warriors. They treat children with cancer, Moms and Dad's with major medical issues and have rehabilitation centers where victims of car accidents also learn to stand and walk again. Fisher House helps families be there, near the loved ones getting the care. 
I really want to see Pampered Chef write the biggest check they've ever had to write to a non-profit organization.

Please pass the link and if you were going to order Pampered Chef anyway because the products are fantastic, this is a great time to do it. You'll benefit and so will Fisher house.

As an added Challenge, if the sales reach $1,200.00, I will an additional 10 perc and between that and the check from The Pampered Chef, Fisher House will earn 25% of the total sales.

The link below is the direct link to order on line for this fundraiser -- pass it around quickly because the fundraiser closes on the 20th!
