What a gift does
One of my inspirations in starting my gift site is that as much fun as it is to get a gift, I have absolutely no doubt that, for me at least, I get way more enjoyment out of giving one. That is why I loved the event Gentri and Kaityln, from isavirtue, came up with called "Send Something Good." It was so much fun to pack up a box of little unexpected treats for someone I didn't know--but was getting to know through her blog, Dear Life . . . From a Mom of Boys. The more I read Tracy Jensen's heartfelt blog posts, the more excited I felt about getting to send her a package. Because if anyone has EVER deserved a gift, it is Tracy. We are both moms of boys, but while I have two, she is raising FIVE, including a beautiful little boy with spina bifida. She has so many challenges to deal with, and yet when you read her words, there is always a bright, strong spirit shining through--being honest about what's hard, but never giving up. She is an inspiration! And the very definition of a mother, in all its heartbreaking challenges and glorious rewards. Tracy wrote the nicest blog post about receiving her package at just the right time--that it made her week! Well Tracy, you made mine!
