Time for me to be a little selfish.

You ever wonder what makes people give? what is the catalyst that says.. yep, I need to pull some change out of my pocket? I know what makes me give.  It’s totally selfish.  I feel good after I give.  I get goosebumps when I see someone else happy.  It’s a drug.

So…we put out there that we were going to give 1,000 to a family in need – we got a few emails.  We set some parameters because we are looking for REAL, DESPERATE NEED.  Desperate as in DESPERATE.  After some research… they may be in need and we are completely compassionate but desperate?   nah

Decisions … so we put it out there again.  Nothing.  I am so happy that everyone is doing so well.  With THAT we decided to be selfish and give the 1,000 to Time in A Bottle.   These familes….. DESPERATE.   Desperate for life.  True absolute NEED.
