Thank you all for joining the Mothers Fighting For Others Yoplait Team and sending your love and support for this project. I hope we can all come together and unite as one to collect as many lids as we can.
If everyone on the team can get five family members to collect 10 labels that would be great. How about going to your preschool or kids teachers to see if you can get the other parents to start getting lids?How about the girl scout troop? How about saying something at your next Den meeting? What else can we do?
Just to let you know, I am going to continue my efforts until the end of the year to collect these Yoplait lids. I hope you will all stick around and help Mothers Fighting For Others fight the fight against Breast Cancer.
I can do anything
June 13, 2008 Weekend Challenge - Donate A Phone®
June 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment
So how many of you have old cell phones sitting in a drawer? What about your brothers or sisters? Neighbors? Cousins? What about your best friends sisters boyfriend? You get the picture. For me, I know I have two.
Why are they just sitting in my drawer taking up space and collecting dust? Well, I’m done with them. I received an email from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence yesterday letting me know about their 2008 National Conference. I spent some time around the site and the Donate a Phone Program jumped out at me. They describe it as:
NCADV has partnered with The Wireless Foundation for over seven years through the CALL TO PROTECT program which was created to provide victims of domestic violence who may encounter emergency situations with free cell phones for that use. The collection of deactivated cell and wireless phones for this purpose has literally saved hundreds of lives over the course of our partnership. In addition to phones being distributed for emergency use, proceeds from the sale of phones not utilized for emergency use help fund agencies that work to end violence in the home, such as NCADV.
So my challenge to you is to go find as many phones as you can get your hands on. Make sure the phone is deactivated, is turned off, and has a battery before mailing it off.
Sound like an easy plan?
Well, I made it even easier. You can download a free mailing label and send it on its way this weekend. Don’t forget to ask your friends and family too!
Have a great weekend.
Just Give

How simple that sounds. Two small four letter words. It is so easy to just give to someone. Some people give so much and some give just the right amount. Search inside your soul to find out if you want to Just Give. I stumbled upon Just Give as I googled Domestic Violence charities. It amazed me as it appeared before my eyes how many different options they have for you. So many to choose from. If you click Just Give Domesitc Violence Charities you can see for yourself that there are at least ten different places for you to look into. You can donate monetarily, volunteer your time or even add this charity to your wedding registry if you are about to be married. Could you imagine how wonderful your soul would feel donating something to charity instead of receiving for yourself?
I want to commit myself to working toward the day when all women and men will be safe and abuse will be no more. Violence against women, inside or outside the home, is never justified. Violence in any form—physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal is wrong.
When you give to someone the gratitude you feel is very overpowering. It will make you realize that you have just helped save another soul from the torture that they are enduring everyday.
I thank you from all the battered men and women out there. I know, I was there years ago. In my heart I know when we work together as a team, anything is possible.
So please, go visit Just Give and take a look for yourself.

The weekend is here and it is time for the Weekend Challenge.
I’m going to kill two birds with one stone this weekend. I’m going to clean and organize my pantry and head on over to our local food bank to drop off some donations.
Sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? Well, it is.
The quickest way to locate your nearest food pantry is to simply Google it. I typed in California Food Bank. You can also check out America’s Second Harvest Food Bank and go to the Food Bank Locator.
So get moving. Clean out that pantry and help your community.
It’s that simple!
