Heart to Heart

By Anne Sanders

Anne Sanders likes to help others. Why? Because it feels so good. Because it's the right thing to do. Because she can, which helps her see that her life is better than she sometimes thinks it is. Helping is a way of connecting with other people, some whom you will never see and others who will thank you with their words, smiles, and hearts. Through her son's cancer and her husband's deployments, she has asked for help and given it, too. We all need help and we all need to help others. You can also find Anne blogging at blog.annesanders.net or at her website helping-hearts.net.

Going on a trip this summer? Summer vacations can mean help for various charitable organizations when you donate your airline miles. Most airlines have programs benefiting a wide range of charities from the states to across the world.   Wonderi ... Read more...
I have a brother in law with Down’s Syndrome.  The people who take care of him are vital to his existence.  They take him to work.  They live with him. They love him.  But now they don’t have health insurance. The state of Flori ... Read more...
I know Father’s Day was last Sunday, but I had an encounter after I posted my last blog (well, actually while I was posting it), that I had to write about this week.  A couple weeks ago, I was on vacation in Seattle but I needed to post my blo ... Read more...
June is a month of change. Kids are getting out of school and summer begins. The babies of spring are now the perfect age to adopt. Of course I’m talking about cats, that is, since June is national Read more...
At this time last year, I was getting ready to say goodbye. I was trying to think of a gift that might last as a lifetime reminder of a very special year. The farewell celebration I was planning was for Tsubasa, our Japanese exchange student. I have to be ho ... Read more...
