First Day of the Rest of...

March. Yep, that's true but I was gonna say life. 

First day of the rest of my life.

First day of the rest of your life. 

I had something more profound rumbling around in my head but the laziness of snow has brought about some amnesia. 

I like the stillness that snow brings. 

How suddenly our busyness becomes unimportant. The millions of things I might have done today gave way to a quiet(ish) day at home with my son and daughter. 

All and all, I'd say I am off to a great start. 

What about you? How did you spend the first day of the rest of your life? And if it were the last day would you regret the way you spent it? 

Be well friends, until we meet again.

March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system).( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001747/) MS slowly robs its victims of normal functioning and the ability to lead an active life.

I actually have to take off my shoes and borrow hands to count the people that I know who have been affected by MS. When my friend who is currently dealing with MS suggested I do a fundraiser, I didn't even say yes, I just got busy working on what I could.

This is totally a do what you can with what you got undertaking. If I had a thousand dollars to donate, I would. I do have my Do You Bake? business, though. And DYB? allows me to run sales for fundraisers at a rather generous rate as far as direct sales goes. So, the Do You Bake? Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month Virtual Bake Sale was born.

I will donate 30% of all sales made under the event between now and 4/7/2012. The direct link for sale is: http://shop.doyoubake.com/default.aspx?AffiliateID=392&EventID=680

Please take a minute to check out the event, browse the selection, and support the bake sale. I will be posting information about MS to my twitter @JennyBertWolfe and my FB https://www.facebook.com/CleverJennyWolfe, so please feel free to follow the information there and share freely. Nothing would make me happier than writing out a big fat check in the honor and memory of my friends and family at the end of this event.

Truthfully, I'd like to see enough sales to donate $500 per person I know or $2500. Dream big, right?
