Well, here we are begging for your money. Or at least that is what this feels like.
As always, plans change. Instead of being able to go the a little more economical route to watch rugby, which would have been to go to Vancouver via Seattle, we will need to go a week later to NYC because little Miss Z has a dance competition that we just can't miss on March 6th. Seeing Ilona play on a home pitch will be magical. Being able to also check out some sights will be amazing. E was very excited to think we could go to The 911 Memorial, The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
I would also like to let you know that if you do donate to our trip, you can also get some writing from me as a thank you. Maybe you need a little poem to carry around to remind you how amazing you are, maybe you need a love poem to send to a loved one, maybe you need some help writing a family history story or even help writing it fully, maybe you have a writing project sitting aside that needs another set of eyes to polish and finish. I am here to thank you with writing services. So...if that pushes you to donate please comment here or on the socials, or email(see below for address) me for details.
I would also like to thank those of you who have already donated to our trip. We have already raised enough to pay for tickets to the rugby matches. Still looking to fund flights, hotels, and other travel expenses.
What a great way to celebrate fifty years on this planet.
A few weeks ago, as I was leaving The Lindon Temple, I asked Heavenly Father to help me feel like I am loved. Over and over in the past year, when I have felt so lost and alone, He has always answered my pleads for comfort. That Tuesday night the answer came like all the other times when I have felt low...He shows me His love through the love and support of other people. Countless times I have been lifted up through a text, a letter, or people physically checking in on me. Thanks for being a part of answered prayers. I love my tribe.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
