A Feel Good Video

May 24, 2013 by | 0 comments

Happy Friday! We made it to the end of the week, YAY!!!

I ran across this beautiful video today that I thought your heart would appreciate. There’ve been so many tragedies around the world lately from the Boston Marathon, to the factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed over a thousand, to back here, in Oklahoma, with the recent tornado devastation. Sometimes it seems like the world is on this crazy spiral. It’s easy to feel helpless and wonder “What can I really do?”  I love this video because it shows the power of one act of kindness. It’s filmed on the busy roads of Russia. Don’t let the beginning credits in Russian throw you. The video is beautiful.

Have a beautiful weekend, friends!

Oklahoma victims: Sewing to Rebuild

Suzanne Winter from Winter Wonderings Wonderings & Whatnot contacted me yesterday to share a wonderful opportunity to help out the many in Oklahoma who’ve been displaced by the recent tornado devastation.

This is what Suzanne wrote:

I am helping organize a philanthropic endeavor in conjunction with Green Style Creations and Pattern Revolution.We will be donating a hand made item (or more) to those in need in OK. Angelyn Benett of Green Style Creations lives in the area and had family living in the town that was hit the worst, so she is the ‘feet on the ground’.  All donations will be sent to her so that she can take them directly to the places with the most need. 

We don’t always have the opportunity to help others when tragedy occurs. I’m excited about this opportunity to give something handmade from the heart that I’m sure will be greatly appreciated.
For more information about free pattern donations and how you can participate, visit Pattern Revolution for the full announcement. This collaboration runs from May 21 – June 21.
Thank you!

Motivation Mondays: The Inadequacy Monster

May 20, 2013 by | 0 comments

Motivation Mondays InadequacyIt was early.

Way before the sun came up.
The whole house was asleep, except for me. I was in a spare room, with the door closed, lights out, tears streaming down my face. Praying.

“GOD, this is so hard! Why do I feel like I”m failing in almost every area of my life?”

Somehow life as I knew it had turned inside out, and I was now just a spectator trying to make sense of it all.

Motivation Mondays is a weekly series posted at www.motivationmondays.org.  I talk from a Christian perspective about my past struggles as well as triumphs  in the hope that just as others have helped me along the way, my readers will find something beneficial to carry along with them throughout their week. I believe that community is important as well as honesty and transparency.Want to chat? Send me an email: littlekidsgrow (a) gmail (dot) com. My welcome mat is always at the door.
