Posted in Give Me 5 Monday | 3 Comments »
The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list!
Here’s how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.
Sign up for weekly reminder emails @ beccagirl@charter.net
This week’s theme: Give me five things you would do if money were no object:
- Buy a new car so I would no longer have to worry if I’m going to make it to my destination!
- Set up trust funds for my kids.
- Take a cruise.
- Pay off our house, and our parents’.
- Make generous donations to charities I believe in.
Be sure to stop by Becca’s Buzz to see the other Give Me 5 participants!

My dear friend Heather over at Singing With My Heart is doing something incredible for the month of October! As you may know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is also National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Heather decided she wanted to help raise much needed funds for these causes, so she came up with a brilliant idea! Here is what she is doing:
For every comment I receive in my blog, starting tonight, and all through the month of October, on any entry, I will donate .25, up to $250. For every person that writes a post about this, and links to it? Another .25 thrown into the pot. If you tweet this? .5 added. At the end of the month, I will tally the comments, the entries, and the tweets, and I will split the money in half and donate to each of the two charities that I have chosen. The person who comments in my blog the most, out of the entire month, will get a $25 gift card to Amazon.com.
Please head over to Heather’s blog and contribute a comment. Not only will you be helping to raise money for two important causes, you’ll find some great reading!

Did you ever feel like just giving up?
The expectations (from others as well as yourself), the hectic pace to do it all (and do it well) just leaves you mentally and physically exhausted all the time.
You see no way out.
Unless you are willing to admit defeat and let it all go. Or at least let parts go.
Is dealing with failure better than pushing yourself beyond your endurance (just waiting for the proverbial shit to hit the fan–big time)?
I wish I knew…
