It's better to Give

 

I read Ravens Lament Journal today, Here is the link:  http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/videos/view/id/408214 

She journaled on how important words are.  She "spoke" very wise words on the topic.

Then I received an e-mail  about Autism.  I work with children that are autistic and their parents on various occasions.  Many times they are wordless, which made what Raven said in her journal even more poingent and profound.

The e-mail asked me to click on a link and watch  a video about Autism.  I was told that everytime someone clicks on the link, the rock band "Five For Fighting" will donate .40 cents to Fighting Autism.  This is in fact true.

Please click on the link it will cost you nothing and you will hear some wonderful music  you will also help a wonderful cause

Here is the link:

Also, Please check out the Giving Tree.  It is a gift to J-Landers and a testimony to then as well.

Interesting...hope you don't mind I was planning on posting the same link for autism.    I guess the more people we reach the better, right?
So thanks!

Thank you for supplying such useful links, Rosemary.  Your generosity of heart in the work you do speaks volumes about what we're capable of giving.  CATHY

Thank you for the mention of my journal. I checked out the other link for Autism and was touched deeply. I'm going to give another friend of mine the link to this entry so she can read your words here and check out the video as well. She has a 3 year old granddaughter with Autism who just underwent surgery. I wish we could reach far more people than we do with the importance of early intervention.

I keep a link to the Giving Tree on my sidebar. I wish more people would either reach out for much needed help or check it out to help someone in need. Wonderful entry my friend. (Hugs) Indigo
