Mama Needs a Cosmo

I love my life.

I’m blessed with a husband that thinks I’m sexy in a pair of sweats and no makeup after nearly 16 years together. I’m blessed with two amazing children. I’m blessed with a job that pays a fair wage. And I’m blessed with a home that has heat in the winter and A/C in the summer.

My children do not want for anything. Me and the LOML are able to provide for our family in such a manner that we can eat out once in a while, keep groceries in the fridge, keep our vehicles maintained, and plan trips to Disneyland.

Others are not that fortunate.

(I dare you to watch the second video without shedding one tear.)

I know I’m a little late to this party, and 12.12.09 is just 36 hours away. But that’s no excuse.

I’ve got an idea of what I’d like to do, but I need to clear it through the proper channels first.

If YOU’VE got a camera, or know a make-up artist, or have a friend that does hair, then see if anyone else in your city is participating in the 12.12.09 help-portrait.com movement.

Even if you don’t have a camera or don’t know anyone who does hair or makeup, you can STILL make a difference.

Take a few hours on Saturday and volunteer at a shelter. Tell a few fun stories and make someone laugh.

Or just listen.

That doesn’t cost a dime, but the dividends are priceless.
