ShareA while back I wrote about my Charitable Drip System, where I pledged a penny per (paid) word of my blogging to charity.  Well, I am happy to announce – albeit belatedly! – that I sent a check in the amount of $73.98 to The Nature Conservancy.  One could snicker at this tawdry amount; but […]

ShareTimes have changed…they tend to do that.  It rankles me that in these days of cinched financial belts and lighter wallets, I’ve had to curtail my charitable contributions. I’m looking more towards donating time (and efforts, like climbing a mountain for Charity Water , but that’s a whole different blog post! ) So, I’ve decided […]
