I had been debating for awhile about showing my progress on the works of my 101 things in 1001 days project and today I decided to open them up. I want to get some more items checked off though! Anyways, that shows you were I stand on my projects. I think I am doing pretty well on them so far.
Today I was looking at information and emailed for more info for the RFTC run/walks. I am hoping I can get 2 of those in this coming October. All depends on the dates. I had to email a friend to get some information also that will come in handy. I want to get a team together to walk in honor of my mom, in honor of my aunt, in memory of another aunt and for honor/memory of patients I have had.
Then there is the 3 day walk that my niece wants us to do. Oh my! I just attempted a 24 mile walk and did okay though didn't finish it. I also was just walking to support the few who really were doing this. I needed to know what I can and couldn't do. I did better than I thought I would. I think there was some frustration that was keeping me going too thanks to someone close.

Buy a Goat/Chicken/Something from www.worldvision.com
I began looking at the worldvision.com site about buying a goat/chicken/something today, 9/29/2010. I wanted to start knowing what I was going to start saving for in order to complete this. I wanted to get the most for whomever is going to benefit from this. I think I am already going to continue this after even this one time. I like the opportunity to help others. As I look at the items in the catalog, I wish I could do more then I am able to at the time. I know I have over 2 years to do this. I think that I am going to do a gift that has more than one animal. I dont want to do a share of an animal nor do I want to give a stuffed animal. Maybe one day, I can do the gift of 28 animals for $2000.
Write a Letter to 5 People Who Have Changed My Life
My first letter, on 12/31/2010, was to my sister. I don't think that I am going to elaborate why I picked her on here. She is amazing though. I am so blessed to have her back to the way I remember her. I am so proud of her and wouldn't trade her for anything.
3/25/2011- I am wondering about one of my letters. What if you can't mail it? Does that still count? Not so much to me, but there is one I need to write. We will see. I have gotten in contact with someone from my past that I would like to write to that ties to this one I can't mail if I write it. There is also someone else that I talk to from my past that I think I should write also... There are about 6-7 others I could write too... just debating about who.
4/25/2011- I wrote my second letter yesterday. This one went to my Mom... or will. I will give it to her on Mother's Day. She is an amazing woman. I guess amazing women run in the family. There is a 3rd one that I may be writing to for one of these letters. I realized there are definitely more than 5 that I want to write too about with a letter like these. I came to the conclusion that they don't have to be limited to 5, but the first 5 are the ones that are going to count here. After that, then they will go to on the list of a letter a month.

Send 10 Postcards via www.postcrossing.com
11/30/2010 ~ I just created my account to do my 10 postcards on postcrossing.com and am looking forward to what it brings. I think that this will be interesting and I am glad I kept the PO Box that I had temporarily set up for a friend who was homeless.
What is postcrossing? It's a project that allows anyone to receive postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world. You can read more on the link provided above.
My first card I am sending is going to Germany. I think that is cool. I'm going to try to find a way or place to make my own post cards using my own photos. I don't want them to be mailed for me though or type written. That is a little impersonal I think.
I have gone back and added 4 other postcards to be sent. In addition to Germany, I am also sending to Brazil, Russia, Netherlands and Taiwan. I have created postcards from my own photos to send to these individuals. I think it's pretty cool.
A Disney/Facebook friend has also started to do this also.
12/10/2010 - I mailed out my 5 postcards. I was excited to send postcards that I made from my own photos also. They turned out very nicely too. I don't know if I want to make some others ahead of time or wait to see what the individuals are looking for or have favorites of. I can't always accommodate what they may want.
12/15/2010 - my first postcard was registered as received. This was the one to Germany.
12/23/2010 - My postcard to the Netherlands was received.
12/28/2010 - I received my first postcard. It came from the Netherlands.
12/30/2010 - The postcard to Brazil was received.
1/1/2011 - I am going to wait for a bit before I send more. I want to make more postcards but being I have a few other priorities I want to take care of first, this can wait.
1/5/2011 - I received 2 postcards today. One from Kyiv, Ukraine and the other from Turin, Italy. I also started a postcard blog to share the pictures of the postcards.
