An update on sales benefiting Women for Women International

I want to thank with all my heart all who have helped me contribute to Women for Women International in December. With your support I have been able so far to raise over $250 for this organization whose mission is to provide women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency.


You will still find a number of items in my eBay Store benefiting this great cause. Have a look, spread the word, do your own best thing for the world.

Happy New Year to all and may it be a more peaceful, loving, happy year for everyone everywhere.
