What I’m Thankful For November 24th, 2009
In light of TweetsGiving 2009, I wanted to share with you all what I’m thankful for.
I’m most thankful for my husband, family, dog, and close friends. These are the people (and animals 
) close to me that make life worth living. I’m so very thankful for life’s little luxuries that we take for granted everyday, such as running water, heat, a roof over my head, a car, electricity, telephones, Internet, and technology.
All of these things make life so much easier and help me stay in touch with my family and friends.
I’m thankful for the education we are provided and for the equal rights we have.
I’m thankful for all my successes and even more thankful for my mistakes and failures.
I’m thankful for everyone I know, because each of you has impacted me in some way.
I’m thankful for beautiful sunsets on the beach of my hometown.
I’m thankful for being in a position in my life where I can help OTHERS, that is truly the most rewarding.
I’m thankful for EpicChange for putting on this massive event, TweetsGiving.
There’s so much more that I’m thankful for…I could go on forever. What are you thankful for?

TweetsGiving & smeepe September 22nd, 2009
TweetsGiving is a twitter celebration of gratitude and giving created by Epic Change. Last year, the TweetsGiving team raised over $10,000 in 48 hours to build a classroom in Tanzania!
This year for TweetsGiving the team is planning an event series of 100+ fundraising events worldwide. These events should take place during the week of Thanksgiving in the US, which is on Thursday, November 26, 2009.
Danny Brown and I were talking about various twitter-based charity events, like the one he is running, 12for12k, and we got on the topic of TweetsGiving. He told me about his involvement for TweetsGiving this year and I immediately asked if I could join.
Stacey Monk and her team then asked if I’d be interested in being the point person for all TweetsGiving tweetups in Europe. I said – absolutely!
I will be hosting a TweetsGiving tweetup in either Darmstadt or Frankfurt the week of November 23rd.
If anyone else in Europe would like to host a TweetsGiving tweetup, please let me know. Can’t wait to see all my local Tweeps in Frankfurt!
