Blessings for a Wonderful New Year

HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR ! !

I hope this year that you have a life filled with peace and contentment, laughter and joy, love and solitude. I hope you get all that you could ever hope for.

I hope that you will be happy, and that you will prosper at whatever you do, and that your children will experience the same. I hope that you will be in good health, and if you're ailing, that your health will be restored.

I wish your life to be free of serious incident, and that you find provision for whatever your needs may be.

I wish you friends that offer you laughter in your life, and a place to turn for strength when you are in need.

I hope that you will seek out the good in every situation in your life. I hope you will find a way to see the positive in all matters.

I hope you will understand and accept God's will and direction in your life when you think things aren't going your way.

I hope that you will not have to struggle for any reason, but if you do, I hope that you will realize that it is temporary and will not let it get you down.

I hope that you set new goals for yourself, and achieve them.

And most of all, I hope that we can all be better than we were last year. I hope we can all have the opportunity to help others. I hope that we can look at the world a bit differently, and make a difference wherever possible.

May you have someone in your life that you love so much it makes you laugh and cry at the time, and may you be that person in someone else's life.

I hope that you are the person that someone else wants to be like.

I hope that you live your life with purpose.

Wishing you a year of new blessings for 2012.

With Ultimate Sincerity from me to you, Polly

Critical Request - Fellow Blogger in Need of the Gift of Life - LITERALLY

I just read this post on Cathy's blog, The Stylish House.

I am posting it in it's entirety here on my own.

Please help spread the word.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Family and Friends,

Please help spread the word about my 25 year old daughter, Heather Erickson's medical situation and critical need for a live liver donor transplant.
Heather is a wonderful, caring young woman who has shown amazing grace throughout this difficult time and is my only child and a daughter dearly loved.

Seven years ago Heather was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. It's a progressive illness that destroys the liver and despite everyone's best efforts it could not be stopped.

 As a result Heather is currently listed for a liver transplant at Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan. The doctors recommend a live donor to give Heather the best chance for survival, due to the critical shortage of cadaver livers available.

Rick, my husband, and I would love to be her donor, but we are not a blood match so we are seeking people who are.

 Heather needs someone with O blood type (either negative or positive) who is willing to be tested to be a live liver donor.

To learn more about donating please call the Henry Ford transplant coordinator Arlene Helms 313-916-9882 on behalf of Heather Erickson.

 We understand a living donation may not be an an option for everyone and respect it's a personal decision.
As always with love,


Cathy and Rick Erickson

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE, if you know of anyone currently in the Michigan area that may be a donor, I urge you to contact them.

If you live in Michigan, please help spread the word on your own blog. Regardless of where you live, please help get the word out.

Obviously, this request isn't limited to Michigan residents, but it's certainly the quickest route to a donor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Please head over to Cathy's blog and show her some support.

If this were your child, you'd be just as desperate as they are.

All of you know that I am a prayer warrior, and I ask that if you are also, please, lift this family up in prayer.
