Tomorrow starts the 3rd Annual “25 Days of Kindness” Project‼ WOO-WOO!!

Hello friends! Tomorrow starts the 3rd Annual “25 Days of Kindness” Project‼ WOO-WOO!!


So UPDATE, here’s what’s going on with US this year...pretty much nothing, like always. However, NOW we have the added pleasure of being “insolvent.” Since I am not currently working (as I TRY to launch a writing career) we are SUPER SHORT on money. So, with that said, I have made the following “corporate decision” for the Gibson family. I announced to the boys that ALL of our acts of kindn...ess will be NON–MONETARY this year‼ Which is going to make it a LOT HARDER…or EASIER? I guess it depends on how you look at it.


Regardless, it is going to be a CHALLENGE and we are going to have to get very CREATIVE. I think it will be really interesting to see what happens. In any case, everyone please try to do one extra act of kindness a day whether it costs money or not and PLEASE post on here. The point is to give others ideas and suggestions, and to spread kindness and positivity, not to brag. So thanks in advance and LET’S DO THIS‼! Cue the music...ya'll ready for this?!

Amazing Story Time!!

Amazing Story Time‼
If you follow my posts, you may have read how I recently I went to counseling and confession at church and the priest told me to pray for God to show me his love for me. So yesterday, I woke up sick (sore throat/fever-too much screaming on last weekend’s gig) and my younger son is home sick too. I check my checking account balance online and my child support and unemployment still has not come in. My balance is too low and I have so many bills past due I totally start freaking out trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I am trying to launch a writing career and really feel the calling to “do it now” but can’t live as a “starving artist” long. Anyway, I have a headache, my throat hurts, I'm crying, tears are streaming down my face, etc. I'm totally feeling sorry for myself and then I finally pull myself together and sort of get the message/feeling “don’t worry, it will be okay, God will provide, get up and check the mail”. So I drag myself out of bed and go out to the check the mail, I even say to myself jokingly” maybe there’ll be a check in there for you, lol?”
So amongst the junk mail recycling items, I see a yellow envelope that looks like a greeting card? I come inside open it and it is the sweetest, nicest, most thoughtful belated birthday card & note from some girls I went to high school with?! FROM 1983, totally random and out of the blue! They said they loved reading my stories and were inspired and wanted to do something nice for me?! OMGosh, real live tears‼ It was such a HUGE sign from God and blessing! Not that this fixed my money problems (it certainly helped!) but more importantly it MADE me realize immediately: God loves you, money is not important people are, carry on, I’ve got your back. Thank you and God bless to these sweet old high school friends for giving me this testimony‼ XOXO <3
