		<description>Stanley,

Yes it would be nice if I was doing something for myself like get my hair done on a more frequent basis, or my nails, something to make me look great, however I do want to point out how doing these things I have mentioned above will help me out.

1. By being able to tithe or offer more monetary contributions to my church I am repaying continuously for them to continue to help me out when I need it and others as well. 

2. By being able to donate regularly to the Battered Women Task Force here I would be helping myself and other to receive continued services and also assistance fr car repairs and gas as well as bus vouchers and legal assistance. 

3. By being able to repay friends who have helped me along the way it helps me in regards to needing future help from them again when things are thin.

4. By being able to donate regularly to Let&#039;s Help it would help me and others when they need funds to help pay for utilities, prescriptions, and rent.

5. Donating to Family Service Center more regularly would help ensure there are funds to help myself and others in time of major financial crisis for example when my apartment caught fire and everything in my kitchen needed replaced.

6. By donating to centers that deal with depression I would help myself and others receive the much needed help to deal effectively with their depression.

7. By donating to cerebral palsy research and organizations it would help by being able to fund programs that would be able to help my son out.

8. By donating to cervical cancer research I can help myself and others learn how to fight this disease.

9. By donating to some form of education on what sepsis is and the deadly effects it has I would be helping myself and others to be proactive in their over all colon health.

10. By donating to area in nerve damage research I would be helping myself and others get the much needed relief by Dr&#039;s and clinics that are funded well to give the best care possible.

See in my time I have often heard many things like &quot; Sorry we can only help you with so much for gas this time around due to our funds being low. &quot; Or &quot; We are only approved so much in this grant or budget to help with food assistance&quot; 

If I had the money yes I would not have to rely on an agency again to get assistance when I need it. It is important to me tho to help those back who have helped me out in my life. You never know when you will hit rock bottom again and need the help and it would feel better asking knowing that I have done what I could to make sure that help is out there again when I need to tap into it.</description>

		<description>Joe:

I think EVERYTHING you mentioned are good goals.

No problems with what you said.  However, I also think one &quot;thing&quot; that needs to be added to the list of things you focus on is yourself.

By focusing on yourself, you put yourself in a position to do all of the wonderful things you mentioned on your list.

		<description>Ok I took the time to do this so I might as well take the time to post it.

Be able to tithe more at church
Donate to Battered Women&#039;s Task Force
Repay friends who have helped me out
Donate to Let&#039;s Help
Donate to Family Service Center
Donate to centers that help those with depression
Donate to Cerbral Palsy organizations
Donate to cervical cancer research
Donate to Sepsis research
Donate to Nerve Damage research

Battered Women&#039;s Task Force, Let&#039;s Help and Family Service Center are three organizations here in Topeka that have helped me out tremendously with money,food and gas money when I have needed it. They are all organizations that are overworked and under funded.

The health related donations are health issues that have affected me and those that I love.</description>

		<description>Crystal:

Thanks for your kind words.

There is a saying:

If am not for myself, who will be for me ???

It&#039;s simple:  EVERYTHING in moderation, including moderation . . .

It&#039;s okay to be selfish, AS LONG AS we don&#039;t go too far and we also help others.

		<description>Smart post! In the parent-world we say, &quot;You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else.&quot; Yes, there are always people that will take advantage of these kinds of statements, but that doesn&#039;t lesson the truth or value of the statement.</description>
