Her favorite cake to have on her Birthday was a chocolate cake with white butter cream icing.
She loved to dabble in spells.
Just after her cancer arrived my son and I discovered KIVA and introduced the concept to her. She loved the idea of lending to women around the world. She enjoyed reading their stories and imagining the ways in which her small contribution might make a big difference in their lives.
So, yesterday and today in Honor of Mom I broke my diet and had some chocolate cake with white icing.
Did my own little secret ritual to honor her.
And reinvested some of her KIVA loan money that had been accumulating.
When you loan money through KIVA it comes back to you! You can then reloan it. When Mom passed away I decided I would continue her account in her memory.
To see Mom's Page you can visit http://www.kiva.org/lender/karen6121
You will be able to read about the women she has lent money to and how those women are using that money to change lives. Maybe you'll be inspired to start loaning as well.
Happy Birthday Mom! Wish you were here! XXOOO
