Well, I'm saddened to report that, despite my best efforts, I've had to cancel the Cupcake Capers event. I don't know why folks weren't interested, but it seemed pointless to hold it for the four people who paid for tickets. I'm going to revise the idea and try again after the Christmas holiday season is over.
I saw a quote I liked on Facebook. I thought I'd share it.
I'm too positive to be doubtful,
too optimistic to be fearful,
and too determined to be defeated!
This mindset has served me well in my life - and most especially, in my ten years in business.
I also shared this quote with my Mom. At 85, her memory, confidence, and outlook on life have become difficult to witness. Once so vital, she's now doubtful, fearful, and seems defeated. She's getting help for this, and we're all hopeful that our Mom will return to us.
With the Cupcake Capers' cancellation happening right after Mom's decline, I have to believe that well-known adage - God doesn't give you more than you can handle. I am happy to help Mom. I love her, and I know that, if I were in such dire shape, Mom would be the first one to help me - or any of her six kids. Helping with Mom also helps Dad, who is her primary caregiver. If my focus was on the fundraiser this week, I wouldn't be able to help out. So, things happen for a reason. It doesn't make me any less committed to Mommy's Light, but my priority has to be with family.
So...onward and upward - to having a successful fundraiser early in 2012 - and even before that, having a "healed" soul for Mom.

A Fundraiser for Mommy's Light!
I cannot believe that it's almost 10 years since I began my business. It’s been a decade of growth, learning, hard work, and sheer joy as I’ve built my business. So, to give back, I’m holding this benefit for Mommy’s Light Lives On (http://www.mommyslight.org/). As soon as I learned about this organization, I knew I had to help them. Check their website - I'm sure you'll agree.
If you ask anyone who knows me, you’ll find out just how much I LOVE kids! I can’t bear to hear of any child hurting. I find each child to be a miracle, a wonder, loads of fun, refreshing, intelligent, and very cute!
I have such wonderful memories of times spent with both of my parents, but especially, learning to cook and bake with Mom. I can’t imagine how different my life would’ve been without my parents. And, I know that I’m fortunate to still have them at my age…at their ages.
I’d love it if any of my readers could spread the word – this event will be a fun time, and you’ll be donating to such a worthy cause – kids who’ve lost their moms. Thanks!
