Have I mentioned that I majored in communications in college? While I don't own a TV, subscribe to the newspaper, or buy any magazines, I LOVE to help get the word out about stuff that interests me. Hence, one of the reasons for this blog.
The folks behind CoolPeopleCare.org are throwing a one-year birthday party on Friday, August 17, from 7-10 p.m., and The Gabe Dixon Band will be playing (another life-enhancing discovery). To hear some of their music, click here and scroll down to "All Will Be Well"; then click on "streaming."
If you haven't discovered Cool People Care, it's worth a few minutes of your Internet time. I subscribe to their daily "5 minutes of caring" e-mails. Here's an example:

JUST SOME CRAYONS by Sam Davidson
If you're familiar with us, you should know that we believe in the power of a little thing to make a big difference. With that in mind, for many children living in homeless shelters, things like crayons, games, and toys allow them to escape the unfortunate reality that is their current situation. Usually, when we think of homeless shelters, we think about helping in terms of serving food or donating clothes. But the next time you're at the store, **grab a set of crayons** and some coloring books and drop them by a family shelter for children to use.

Crayons and two packs of glue sticks are only $.20 at Target right now!
We've donated stuff to the Safe Haven Family Shelter several times, it is a wonderful ministry to homeless families. Maybe that is where I will take my other car seat if I can't find anyone else that needs it.
