I'm doing 22 things
I just gave up my monthly Starbucks allowance to sponsor children through Christian Children’s Fund. I’ve wanted to sponsor a child for years and never got around to it. I just signed up for it today. It feels good to be doing something to help. And it helps me keep my new years resolution to stop drinking coffee!
