When I forget I'm rich...


Sometimes I forget just how rich I am. I don't just mean money-rich, I mean friends-rich, love-rich, God-rich too.

I went to good old Trader Joe's and picked up all this bounty for a picnic with friends... and can I tell you the truth--- the whole time I was so stressed out that I didn't enjoy it. Cue the thought dominoes of frustration! (Here's a secret- I get frustrated that I'm frustrated.)

Really though, I could use your input on this. What makes you forget the good stuff and focus on the bad? How do you get out of that funk? I'd love to know!

Meet Annaya

The school year is more than halfway through! We’d like to introduce a student whose life is being transformed by your compassion and kindness.
As a young girl, Annaya’s heart was broken. She had a passion for learning, but her parents said that education is not for girls. Despite her opposition and resistance, Annaya was married by her parents at the age of 15.

Ten years later, now 25 years old, Annaya has four children and struggles with health problems due to teenage pregnancies.
