MinnPost - Book Club Club: That perfect writing space

This is an interesting article that I wanted to share with you writers out there. If you are like me, you sometimes decided not to write because you don't have the "ideal" writing space. Whatever "ideal" means to you. Check out this article for some guidance on this issue.

Coincidence? I Don't Think So...

Mother Theresa said, "If you can't feed 100 people, then feed just one.

That quote was on a "quote of the day" widget attached to one of my other blog sites (ritakuehnsblog.com). I noticed it right after I posted a blog about NESCO and Housing Uganda's Street children right here on Word Of Mouth 360.

Was it a coincidence to find this quote staring me in the face? I don't think so; there are no coincidences with God, I'm pretty sure about that. Just as you are reading this, it is no coincidence. (It may, however, be a miracle that you are reading this! :-) )

One child, one hungry little mouth to feed. Just one.

Housing Uganda's Street Children

HOUSING UGANDA'S STREET CHILDREN

I'm still high on it! Yesterday, my church (Servant of Christ) held a special service and outreach for the NSAMBYA EX-STREET CHILDREN ORGANIZATION (NESCO), an organization that is working hard to save children, orphans, from living on the streets of Uganda.

These children, out on their own with no one to care for them, their parents either dead from AIDS, or long gone, eat out of garbage cans, doing anything they can to survive. To some of these children, it is the only life they can remember having. There are 2.9 million orphans in Uganda. So what happened yesterday was a miracle!

I went to a meeting the other night and listened to Insurance for Longevity guru, Cathy Manning, discuss the need to plan for our future ~ things like our children's college education, our retirement, or assisted living. It was a very good presentation, and I was intently listening when she mentioned a story that she'd read, about how a couple of elderly friends had devised a plan of "assisting" one another. I thought I must be dreaming, because the story she was telling came from one of MY blogs of last week: the Sweetest Story ~ Curtain Call!  And I thought no one was reading me!

Do you sometimes have that feeling?
