Here's what I'm up to recently....

There's just so much going on! I want to do 100 things at once! How does anyone keep all this organized?

I'm still raising money for my brother and his family, but it has taken a slight back burner. I just joined Team in Training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and I have to raise $1750 for them by June! This is a very important and personal cause for me. My mother died of lymphoma in 2007. She was my best friend and I miss her more than anything. I feel like I gave up on her in the end and that I didn't do all I could to help her, so this is my way of trying to make up for that. My husband is also doing it and needs to raise the same amount by June (totaling $3500 between us). Here's my website for that if you want to check it out or help out http://pages.teamintraining.org/sd/rnr10/meiben6mr5.

I just got started on that fund raising, then this huge earthquake happens. I am now trying to organize my friends into a fundraiser to raise money for the Red Cross and also the Volunteer Ministers for Haiti. I am the organizer of a group on meetup.com and I added up some figures. If everyone in my group just donated $10 we'd have over $1700! That would go a long way towards relief for Haiti.

There's just so much going on and I'm not even sure what to push anymore. I'm just going to do it all at once and see what happens :) Did I mention I'm also a new first time mom, I work full time and I'm starting my own financial services business? Sheesh! I have a lot to do!
