#98 - Recycle

We have been recycling pretty much everything since last summer, so I think I can cross this one off. This is something we hope others will begin to do themselves. It's so important to take care of the earth that God has blessed us with. It's all about stewardship for us. We have been entrusted with its care - to a degree - and it is important to honor that responsibility.

#101 - Donate Hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths

This was done about a month ago, but I forgot to post. It is so rewarding knowing that my hair is going to help a woman undergoing cancer treatment. I had about 9 inches that I donated and they will combine my donation with hair from about 6 other donations and make a wig. Our hair is something that we don't always think too much about, but imagine not having it. It's one thing if we CHOOSE to shave or cut our hair and an entirely different situation if that choice is made for us. If my hair can help a woman feel better about herself, that makes me feel so happy. It's amazing the difference I feel about myself when I feel like my hair looks good. I pray for the woman who will wear my hair. I pray for healing, but also that she realizes that she is beautiful, hair or no hair.
