Fabulous@50 Blog

By Dianna Bowes on 11/26/2010 12:00 AM
Have you every heard the saying " It is the little things in life that count". I am a firm believer in this philosophy. The person sitting next to you at a meeting or a garage sale you drive by... you just never know who you may meet by slowing down and taking some time to talk or get to know someone. I recently met a wonderful couple who rescue the dented and damaged small dogs that are going to be put down. Debbie and her husband fix these little creatures, clean them up, rehabilitate them and find them homes.

They were having a garage sale (to raise funds for Gypsy Rescue) and I saw a sofa that I thought my daughter might like. We did end up buying the sofa, but the connection I have made with these people, is what really made my day. I recently had an event and collected money from the fabulous ladies who attended. With the money donated I was able to purchase 4 big bags of dog food and dropped it off to Debbie. I was invited for tea and a visit with the little herd of sweet dogs. I got more kisses and love that afternoon, truly a blessing beyond words. So as usual, I will give you a challenge, what little difference can you make in your world today?

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
