*Thank you Chris from Broadway Fillmore Alive for creating this image.

Each year in memory of her son James, my friend Michele Johnson with a little her from her friends gathers 140 Christmas stockings for the kids of St. Luke’s. The stockings are passed out to the children who are coming to St Luke’s for Christmas dinner.

Each stocking is the same and should include the following: Pair of Socks (Toddler to Teen) Small Toy or Stuffed Animal, and $5 Gift Card to McDonalds, Burger King or Tim Horton’s

IF YOU CAN HELP US WITH THIS MISSION please, comment below or visit our Facebook page to let us know how many stockings/and or what you are able to donate.Everyone who donates stockings is invited to meet at St. Luke’s to hand out the stockings on Thursday, November 20th at 11am. Please contact one of us about where to drop off donations by Dec 17th if you are unable to attend.

Karen the Bus Driver: On The Road To Retirement!

Cruel kids make me rethink my naive, optimistic faith in humanity.

But seeing how many people donated to this fund—restored it instantly. The kids and their parents should be ashamed of themselves, sadly I doubt they are. (Kids names are listed on the YouTube link in case you are interested.)

DONATE TO KAREN: http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein (Help her go on vacation and retire!)

My goodness, people are generous. Hopefully she can retire finally at 68 years old. (Tears.)

At the 11th Hour I Decided To Raise $1,000 For The Ride Again This Year AND NEED YOUR HELP

As you probably already know, for the last few years I have participated in The Ride For Roswell.

AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE (as in the ride is in 3 days!) I’ve decided to once again virtually “ride for roswell” to raise funds for critical cancer research and year-round support programs for Roswell Park’s patients…

With YOUR help I’ve been a $1,000 donor the last few years!

This year, I orignially opted out because we listed Roswell Park Cancer Institute as an organization to make donations to in lieu of a wedding gift…but now, I’m rethinking that logic.

 Of course the ride is in 3 DAYS!!! But I know we can do this together!!!!

So at the very last minute…I need your help to reach my goal! It’s easy to make a donation to my fundraising efforts – just click the link below to safely and easily donate online. You are a vital member of my team in the fight against cancer and I really hope that you will consider supporting me in this worthwhile endeavor.

Incredible progress has been made in the treatment and survival rates of people diagnosed with cancer. However, until we achieve 100% cure rates for all people with cancer, Roswell Park Cancer Institute needs the help of generous supporters like you.

Last year alone, the event raised a record-breaking $3.2 million for cancer research and patient support programs at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. We are trying to break the record again this year! Please take the time to make a donation on my behalf and bring us one step closer to a cure.

Thank you friends and family! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! Even a $5 donation makes us one step closer to the goal!

All my love,
Jennifer (Weber!) :)

Magical Thinking Inspirations: Radio Dial Version

“Magic iTunes player, give me a song to tell me what I should be thinking about **enter subject here**”

I played this game on the ride home from work last night with the radio…it was one of those days and I had a heavy mind filled with goop.

The first song to play? Very telling. One of my favorites.

And then in true magical thinking fashion, the very next song?

No. I shall NOT divulge what I was thinking, but I think it’s pretty obvious that the magical thinking radio universe knew EXACTLY what to tell me.

If only more people were like Tim Tebow…

I believe in Tim Tebow

So that’s it. I’ve given up giving up on him. I’m a 100 percent believer. Not in his arm. Not in his skills. I believe in his heart, his there-will-definitely-be-a-pony-under-the-tree optimism, the way his love pours into people, right up to their eyeballs, until they believe they can master the hopeless comeback, too.

Thank you to Dick Shaner for sharing this on Facebook. An article worth reading.

If only more people were like Tim Tebow.
