New Year, New Look

WOW!  It's 2012 already!  How time flies.  And it flies whether you're having fun or not, right?  Well for me... I'm always having fun.  

Today I thought  a little change here, would be in order.  Nothing major. My new readers, of course won't know what I'm talking about.  But for all my 'millions' of previous blog readers, you will notice a little change in the background, of this blog.  Hope you like it.

That's about the only change I'm making this year, except I should mention that I just published my first book.  It's basically based on some of the stories from this blog.  And no, I don't expect to make a fortune from it, or that it will eventually end up on the bestseller list.

What I am doing though is this... I'm giving the proceeds from the sale of the book to the Kanjunji Orphanage Fund in Africa.  

A friend of ours, went to Africa about five years and started the orphanage himself.  Through personal fundraisers, contributions, and much sweat, Gord and his wife Linda are completely sold out to this mission.  Just this past year, they sold their house, and they plan to move to Africa full time next year.  So I thought, this could be my way of giving to the cause.  It may not be much, but like Gord has often said, "A dollar will go a long way in Africa."

If you would like to contribute, simply click the 'Buy Now Lulu' icon at the upper right of this page, make your purchase, and be blessed.  Or contact me at, shawnh54@gmail.com and I'll personally send you a copy.

Let's make 2012 a year to remember!  And have FUN doing it...
