The Gift of Blood

Today I gave blood for the first time in many years. I used to go regularly when I was single and in Los Angeles and bandage seemed to have more time/motivation to get to the blood bank. As much as I dislike the process of giving blood (i.e. a needle hanging out of my arm for 15 minutes!,) I really love the feeling of having given some blood that may help someone out there in distress. My mantra today when I was getting a little antsy and wanting to run was "I am helping some mother's child."

Some of my favorite Blogs:

Mindful Momma Because I really like her vibe...

"I try hard to be mindful and to live lightly on this wonderful earth. I conserve, recycle and reuse as much as possible. I prefer to buy organic. I support local business whenever I can. That all sounds great, right? But believe me, it's not always easy." - Micaela

Moms Without Blogs - Because Lee is a great mom who gets it that we don't get to be perfect, we just get to be the best we can be...

"Basically, we're a low-pressure group of women who are committed to building this community of average supermoms by sharing our stories as real modern-day mamas." - Lee Vandeman

Formerly Hot - Because sometimes you just need a good laugh (and Steph delivers everytime!)

"After 30 some odd years, Spanx had found their way into my lingerie drawer, and men who asked me if I "had the time” really just wanted to know what time it was. Imagine!" - Stephanie Dolgoff

EcoHeidi - Because Heidi has made it her 'job' to teach people how to recycle creatively, and I think that is really cool.

"I love to motivate people to bring out their creativity because every one is creative in their own special way." - Heidi Borchers
