On Wings Of Love

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.
       - Emmanuel Swedenborg

 

 

Greetings!

Each day we receive requests for uplifting mail to be sent to a child, parent, loved one, neighbor and friend.  With each request we lovingly reply "yes", because we understand that there are many out there who just need to know they are loved and thought of.  Although we never meet them we hold great love for them.  We love them as our sisters and brothers in God and we would want the same done for us when we are in need.  We've been there before (hurricane Katrina) and we know what it feels like to have a group of strangers love us unconditionally and uplift us in our time of need.

We hope & pray that you will find it in your hearts to commit a kind act today.  Whether it be big or small is not the issue.  The only thing that truly matters is that you do it out of LOVE. (-:

 

  

Love Always,

Tabitha & Family

Blessings To All!!

As an adult born with deformities I have faced some challenges in my life.  Fortunately, I had an awesome family to uplift me.  Even though my family never allowed me to live as a disabled person there were times when I asked why.  There were times as a kid I would become depressed.  There were times when my feelings would be truly hurt by the stares of a stranger.  As I've grown I've learned to accept and deal with those situations in positive ways, but there are millions of children born with disabilities per year and for some it is a nightmare.

In this trying economy millions of families are struggling.  My family and I are not exempt from this, but we choose to help others knowing it is the right thing to do. I have been given the honor to speak on behalf of the disabled children and adults in New Orleans.  I will also speak to children and teens born with deformities.  During my visit with them I would love to show them that not EVERY being in the world sees them as imperfect.  I believe if we all do something so loving together it will inspire and encourage them immensely.

The idea is to hand them goody bags filled with age appropriate and inspiring items.  The idea is that we ALL come together and do this by donating just $1 each.  My family and I are putting up the larger sum to purchase items, stickers, ribbon and goody bags.  We are asking YOU our friends, readers, family and supporters to join us in this effort by simply donating $1.

The donation can be sent via PayPal on either blog Or You may mail it in to us at the address below.  I think it's safe to say you all know my heart by now.  You know that this is how I plan to live out my life here on earth.  Realistically I am not able to pull this off by myself, but with YOU joining forces with me for just $1 YOU can be apart of a new Change.

Thank You!...Tabitha

Sunday's Thought

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

~e.e. cummings, 1955

 

 

Happiness Is

"Happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are."

Continuous Flow of Love

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.

- Betty Reese

I look forward to waking each day, because I know I'm going to have someone to uplift.  My music plays as I put together each person's mail and a smile is across my face as I go on.  If there was ever a time in my life where I can honestly say I feel what true joy is this IS that time. :)

The V-Day Goodies Have Arrived!!!

Our raffle was a HUGE success and because of all the kind contributors we will lovingly provide Valentine's Day goody bags to children who are hospitalized, children battling cancer and children with disabilities.  Because of the raffle and a generous family's donation we were able to purchase tons of goodies from Oriental Trading!  We are SO excited and look forward to showing you our progress as we put the baggies together!

We want to thank everyone who supported this event!  We are deeply grateful to each and everyone!

Blessings Friends!

We are truly joyful and we pray that you are feeling the same!  This weekend we have been receiving a larger amount of requests for uplifting mail and that makes us joyful.  It means that word of what my family and I are doing is spreading. :-)

We truly LOVE sending uplifting mail to those in need and we are deeply grateful to those who are speaking highly of us to others.  We love placing pictures up of what we're up to, so that everyone can stay up to date.  We also do this so that our supporters will have a view on how they are helping us uplift beings daily.  We pray that by visiting us you'll be inspired to be the miracle in someone's life. :-)

A Joyful Kind Of Busy

Valentine’s Day Give In Honor of Jackson Turpin

One of our favorite times of the year is near and we are excited about what's to come! Valentine's Day is all about LOVE. Love of family, friends, strangers and love of self. We love spreading love throughout the year, but we especially love doing it for Valentine's! This year Valentine's Day will be extra special for us, because we are honoring a very special child.

Although we have never met Jackson we were very affected by his passing. I adore his aunt Amy who’s a very dear friend. The days after Jackson’s passing Amy’s love and grief engulfed me. I went to my family and told them that I wished to honor Jackson. We decided that when our goody bags are donated this Valentine’s Day each bag would be given in honor of Jackson. We are including cards within each bag to state just that.

This year four hospitals will be gifted with gift bags for their patients:

Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas will receive 200 goody bags.
Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, La will receive 200 goody bags.
Shriners Hospital For Children in Shreveport, La will receive 45 goody bags. (They only have 45 beds)
Shriners Hospital For Children in Philadelphia will receive 75 goody bags. (They only have 75 beds)

Through the past two years we have built beautiful relationships with 130 beautiful kids who we send uplifting mail & small goodies to twice a month. These children will also receive a Valentine’s Day gift bag in honor of Jackson as well.

*Added 1/7/10*

With the help of a group of fabulous friends the $250 needed was met and exceeded!!!
We have now purchased all items needed (via Oriental Trading) and will be receiving them by 1/20/10!
With all of our hearts we wish to thank EVERYONE who made this possible!!!
As always we will have tons of pictures of the bags when we start preparing them for the kiddies!

Love & Gratitude To All!!!
