Ahem... my birthday is coming up soon. This year, I'm going to unabashedly request from those of you who might be considering getting something for me: please check out my Wish List at JustGive.org. Pick out a cause that YOU would also like to support, and kindly give what you planned to spend on my birthday (hehe). You would make me extremely happy, and you'll also make a difference in someone else's life! I thank you from the bottom of my heart and on their behalf.
I'm blessed to have wonderful family and friends who shower me with love and gifts. Sometimes I look around me and wish I could better appreciate the stuff that I have. No time to read all the books I've received, only because I have a challenging job that I'm grateful for. Not able to fit into some of the clothes I've gotten, only because I'm lucky that I don't have to worry about my 3 meals and a husband who cook delicious stuff for me. But there are many who aren't as fortunate (to say the least). I'm not Oprah Winfrey, but I want to be able to do something, even if I can only contribute a few drops of water trying to fill the whole ocean. And you can help! So please, make my birthday extra special by not getting *me* anything. Instead, Just Give. I would really really appreciate that and it'll mean a lot, not just to me but also to the people that YOU will be helping. Thanks again....
