In the Spirit of Maggie Lee Henson

As my act of kindness I decided to create a charm where 100 percent of the profits go towards charities. This month all proceeds will go towards digging wells in Africa. 

About Maggie Lee For Good 
Maggie Lee Henson would have been 13 on October 29, 2009 had she not died from injuries received while on her way to youth camp.

Maggie Lee For Good began as a facebook group when Kelly Alamon posted the idea on Maggie Lee's Caringbridge website. She thought it would be great to have 1300 people commit to a good deed. Within 24 hours, the group had increased to 1500 people and the goal of 13,000 members was suggested. 

The name Maggie Lee For Good comes from her favorite Broadway play, Wicked, whose song, "I Have Been Changed For Good," was sung at Maggie Lee's Celebration of Life Service on August 6th at FBC, Shreveport. 

Maggie Lee was the kind of young lady who creatively loved people. Whether it was asking her mom to pull over and buy a hamburger for a homeless person or sticking up for a friend, she made the world a better place with her presence. 

Our hope is that whether you bake cookies for a lonely neighbor, donate your time at a homeless shelter or food kitchen or just take the time to listen to your kids as you drive them home from school, that October the 29th will be a significant day for you. 

My Farm boys...

Nikolas has a new favorite on the weekends.  Getting a ride on the mower with Jim.  Jim is thinking when he's about 10 or 12 he'll be ready to mow all by himself! 

The gift of reading....

I just had to share this adorable picture. We were waiting for parent teacher conferences and the BEST thing happened that day....Our scholastic book order came in! My children LOVE to read!  When most parents complain about homework getting their kids to read is on their lists...it's never on mine. At night we have to stop them from reading to get them to go to bed.   We have to limit them to 30-45 minutes a night so we can get to bed on time. 

Both of my kids were early readers, but Nikolas was a REALLY early reader (before he was 4)and to this day just loves books.

The gift of words and reading comes naturally for me...I guess that's why I inscribe words on all of my jewelry

Find out more about how you can inspire your child with a love of reading.
