Giving thanks

The house echoed with chatter, aroma of saffron, garlic, ginger and turmeric whiffed through the air, a dozen tiny feet pattered around, the tiniest of them all gurgled and murmured in delight.

The friends mingled, ate, laughed, shared stories.The kids played, nibbled, ran about. It was warm and toasty on the inside, cold and windy outside. It was a perfect day to give thanks.

When the last of the friends disappeared in their fancy cars and the leftovers were packed, the family retired for the day. She curled in a corner read a book on circus and love and watched television.

There a magnificent lady called Oprah appeared and talked about giving thanks, echoing the thoughts of the lady on the couch. The lady they called O, talked about Angels, pennies, shopping and Kiva. Oh Kiva, that was a new word that the couch lady did not understand.

She searched and found this:. http://www.kiva.org/about
What a wonderful way to give thanks!


Kiva is a wonderful organisation that allows you to make an impact in some one's life in a very big way. Kiva, promotes people from all over the world, who need money to start a small business. You, lend them the money, as little as $20 and watch them soar. Most of the loans are repaid in full within a short time. You are not just helping someone, you are enabling them to dream and watching their dream come alive.Is there a greater pleasure?


A lot of people don't read this blog and Kiva is so interesting. Hmm, what do I do (wringing my hands and putting on my thinking cap). Brilliant...I am going to tag people. I tag absolute vanilla, sognatrice, jellyjules, wanderlustscarlett , sameera and any and everyone to spread the good word (Kiva).
