What Does Your Messy Desk Say About You?

I’ve always heard that there are stackers and then there are filers. Honestly, I’ve tried to be a filer, but there’s just one problem, I’ll file something and then I forget I even have whatever it is that I’ve filed (Out of sight out of mind) and I find myself either frantically looking for it (except where I filed it) and eventually recreating it and a new folder to file it in. So, I am a stacker. Amazingly, I can find anything I have stacked on my desk. I found these pictures on the internet and it made me feel smart. So, what does your messy, or clean desk say about you? Apparently, Einstein’s desk says the messier the smarter!

One statement made on the site where I found these said, “Some people say a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what does that say about an empty desk?” Join the Conversation: What does your desk look like? Are you a stacker or a filer?

Adoption Rocks with Long Sleeves

Look what I can do!

The cold weather is coming in, and I can still wear my “Adoption Rocks” t-shirt. My white thermal long sleeve shirt fits perfectly underneath and I must say they go perfect together!

Are you looking for a way you can be a help to someone this holiday season? Looking for a great Christmas gift for that friend or loved one? The Adoption Rocks t-shirt is that perfect gift. Not only are you giving someone a great gift they can use over and over again, but you are helping provide a new home for a baby girl or for two siblings.

My friend Neely and her husband Josh are on the waiting list to adopt a little girl or siblings from Africa. She had these t-shirts made up to help raise the money its costing them to make the adoption happen. You can go to http://www.onemomtrying.blogspot.com to read about their adoption journey, but also most importantly to help them make it happen. When you go to Neely’s blog, look to the right hand sidebar and there is an order form, select your size and color and then select the “Buy Now” button to place your secure order.

Don’t let the cold weather be an excuse not to help someone! Help provide a baby girl or siblings the warmth of a home and a loving family by buying a shirt today. In fact, I think it would be ok to buy 5 for Christmas gifts too! 🙂

The Power of One – ESPN Video

You’ve got to watch the entire show about this young man, Adam Bender, who was born with cancer and had to have one of his legs amputated. This boy has one of the biggest hearts I have ever witnessed to overcome an obstacle that could have kept him from living life to its fullest. This is a true testament that you can do anything you put your mind, your heart, and your strength to. Between THIS story about Brandon Marshall and his huge heart to help people in need while he himself is confined to a hospital bed waiting to die and Adam Bender, I feel about an inch tall, but I can see a bright future for this generation. They definitely put a lot of the adults I know to shame, and that’s sad! What I see in these boys is pure Passion and passion can move mountains!
