There is something you can do to help...

Each day, I make a decision about when to post which day from the book 100 Days of Giving, and I could not have ever anticipated that years later I would be simultaneously writing and posting about the impact of devastating flooding in my current community while flooding was ravaging another one of the communities I love. The trauma left behind after flooding is significant and indescribable. A perpetrator-less crime of the heart.

100 Days of Giving is about hope, healing and simple gifts in times of difficulty, and now that the flood waters in Colorado are beginning to recede we can look to the stories of other communities ravaged by flood waters to find hope and healing in simple gifts...

Each day of the 100 Days of Giving includes a daily reflection for you to consider. Today, I am going to give you another example of putting the words into action for you. Each day in 100 Days of Giving offers you an opportunity to read about alternative giving options as well as some questions to consider...enjoy...
