Just an idea
My idea is simple. Volunteer every day for the next 40 days to celebrate 40 years of life. I start on my b-day Jan. 24th, but there's lots of planning to do to get ready for those next 40 days. Given my already impacted volunteer schedule, I need the help of my friends to get me through the next 40 days. I know I might not be able to make a worldwide impact, but the goal is to do just a little, enough to be able to make a difference in a life or two. I'm not Oprah, I can't give tons of $ and prizes away, nor Mother Teresa, I can't leave my family for missionary work, but we all have that little thing inside us, the special thing that God gave us, that makes us unique and talented with very special gifts that we can use to make the world a better place. I'm looking forward to the journey and hope that my family and friends will join me along for the ride.

Christina, i don't know how this came to me via email but for some reason you have the same last name and someone thought you were my cousin. Our story is so close. I too did the same for my birthday this past June. Though i did not do 40 days, not to have a party and gifts but i to give of myself to charity and ask my friends to join. It has turned my life around. Things in my life once seemed not good or not what I thought they should be no longer mattered and my life in every way seemed to be better. I send you the best in your quest and hope that by giving to others brings you as much happiness as it has me.
