Ah, but the universe has other plans, and it often forces me to wake up and smell the roses. I received an email that once again put it all in perspective.
Look at this beautiful little girl. This is Ja'Naya. She is four.

She was just diagnosed with leukemia.
I blog with Ja'Naya's mom as part of the Green Mom's Carnival. Like many of us, she and her family do not currently have health insurance. I can imagine few things as terrifying.
If you can, I encourage you to donate something, no matter how small. Click here to see more pictures and for a donation link.
Thanks so much. I'll write more tomorrow, and catch you all up on Mercantile & Dancing Rabbit happenings!
