9 Days Until Thanksgiving

My husband told me about a friend of his who has been so depressed lately he can't even get out of bed. He said he told him we all feel that way sometimes...especially lately with the economy, all the evil happening in the world etc. Then he said, I think we all need to go to Kenya and try living with out electricity, running water and the comforts we enjoy to help us be grateful for what we have been blessed with. Bret VanLeeuwen, the founder of Koins for Kenya tells some amazing stories of how the people in Kenya are living without any of these comforts and it makes me appreciate all that I am so lucky to have. Yes things are tough in the world right now, but I am grateful for all of the amazing blessings I am surrounded with.

Tomorrow I will be speaking the Holladay, Utah Rotary Club about my book, "The Power Of A Penny: The Priceless Journey Of One Penny," with Bret VanLeeuwen. I am excited to hear more amazing stories that will help me realize how truely blessed I am.
