Exuberant Joygasm

So many projects, and so much I want to do! Life is never, never boring.

Lovely IC Ostara this weekend, and a wonderful time on both Sat and Sun.

I love my friends and my family---they bring me such tremendous joy.

The more time I spend with them, and the more time I get to talk and relax with Blue Star folk and friends of friends, the happier and more fortunate I feel.

I remembered this weekend that Spring means that I get to enjoy all of my friends again.

WOW!

Writer's Block: Take Your Chances

Yes. But they must take the initiative and search them out/ask for them.

What I've learned by my 70th KIVA loan...

1. If you pick one, or at maximum two, organizations to help, you can make a big difference.

2. Once you've funded a critical mass of microloans by doing one or two a month for a year or so, you can just keep reloaning the same dollars as they are repaid without putting more money in.

This allows you keep on giving---and keep on helping---right through tough financial times.



"Ayaba Gloria Kuegah is a young single woman with a real passion for dress-making. She opened her own studio in 2005 after training for 3 years under the instruction of a dynamic woman. Now, working for herself, she works in every possible way to ensure the success of her small business. She is asking for this first loan in order to buy ‘pagnes’ (coloured West African cloth) and fabric so that she can make and sell clothes. With the income from this business, she will be able to support herself."
