Birthdays rock and not just because it is the day of "you"--the gifts matter! This b-day surpassed my ninth one-- with its pinata, rubik's cube, and plastic high-heeled-glitter shoes. For this year my friends lent me a hand in helping HIV African children. There is no greater gift than that!
My thanks to all who made my b-day wish come true,
megan

Birthdays & Wishes
Today, I celebrate my 35th b-day. It's a Big one, but a good one. I have a solid footing in adulthood and in my self. With that comes insight coupled with a compassion and desire to help others.
As you know, this year my focus is on children and what I perceive as one of the most vulnerable populations on this earth--orphaned African children with HIV. I have seen HIV children suffering without medication & die as none of us should. So what can I/we do? We can provide medicines to ease suffering, comfort, and most of all efforts to prevent other children from meeting the same fate. This is my project goal.
As my project nears year end, my birthday wish is that others will continue to join me in helping these children. www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com

Yoga, yoga, yoga...
Last Sunday, my longtime yoga teacher Ann led a benefit class for my African HIV children's project. The intention for our practice was "selfless service." Ann reminded us that our efforts, and the intentions behind our actions, are what matter--the results are beyond our control.
These words of wisdom were just the reminder I needed--although I set a $20,000 fundraising goal, the actions that I am taking at this moment are what truly matter.
Please take this moment to support these children with me:
