As it was in the house I started to use it anyway and it triggered a change in my diet - suddenly I was replacing snacks with carrot/apple mush on a daily basis. Together with a more active lifestyle I managed to lose 50 pounds (or nearly 25%) of my body weight) and am really happy.

Thank you
My parents gave me the priceless gift of unconditional love and self-worth.
We had used our last log that morning and pictured ourselves huddled together & miserable for the next month. We received the phone call from friends that afternoon The unexpected gift blew us away.
We were warm in more ways than one that spring.
1) The Amazon Kindle I received from my husband for my birthday yesterday. The most amazing thing about this gift was that he thought it up and purchased it all on his own a month ago. He thinks that shopping for, buying, and wrapping presents is akin to Chinese Water Torture, so this was HUGE. It was even more incredible because I had called my daughter on Monday to tell her that I would love a Kindle for my birthday or Christmas.
2) For Christmas when I was 10 years old, my single, childless aunt sent me TEN Bobbsey Twins books. This was over-the-top munificence and (up until yesterday) has always been my answer when asked about my favorite gift.
After working on a client's project on the weekends, my employer surprised me with a Kindle two weeks ago for my hard work!!! I am completely obsessed with the Kindle but I think the greatest part of that gift was feeling acknowledged and appreciated by my employer. Especially in this time of financial trouble I'm grateful to have an amazing job and work with people who support and mentor me.
Have fun with your Kindle!!!

It was the BEST GIFT EVER!!!!
So romantic and fabulous!
As far as material things go, there is an old photograph from the 1930's that is of my great grandparents and grandmother, along with other revelers in a bar in Cuba. It is the only photo of the 3 of them together that survived. It is a great photo in and of itself, and I love it. I coveted it for years, and my mother finally gave it to me.
And the recent gift I gave myself...the permission to leave a toxic job that was stressing me to the point of nearly constant illness to instead pursue my entrepreneurial dreams.
we moved into our first owned home. Best of all : my three kids, but of course!!!! They still are.
Thanks,

When I'm going through writer's block or letting negative thoughts get to me, it's comments such as those that remind why I love to write and who I love to write FOR.
I got it as my 18th birthday present.
My best gift, and I truly see it this way, was the profound 'nudge' to explore a medical situation, just over a year ago. To be succinct here, I have had a series of surgeries since then, (latest was one week ago today) that I truly believe saved my life. Always pay attention to 'nudges' or 'gut feelings.' They happen for a reason..
From my Papa.
I felt so grown up, so validated, so beautiful. So cherished. Sometimes that man just got it right.
