Dear Community of Caring,
 
After many years of sharing community information through this website, I am taking a break in order to re-construct another site under a new service provider and with a new e-address.
 
Wishing not to be intrusive, I ask that you submit your e-mail address to nelliek@roadrunner.com, if you wish to notified of the launch date and with further "Community of Caring" information.
 
The Calendar of Events and the Education & Scholars Pages will remain--the Political Page will not.  The Home Page will remain for my editorials/messages--as the Spirit moves me. 
 
A new page will be added--don't know what to call it--maybe you can send in suggestions.  Quite often, I have received calls or e-mail inquries from readers asking for help, information and referrals. Sometimes I have been able to help but many times--not; therefore, I thought we could work on this project together:

If you are looking for a solution to a problem, an educational question or a community resourse:

  •   send in your questions
  •  I will post it and assign the question a number
  • Readers may respond to a question per assingned number
  • I will post all responding suggestions.
  • No identity is needed

As always, your ideas, suggestions are welcome!

 Submitted information will be posted as it arrives.  As always, not for profit organizations' information, community service and educational information are especially welcome.  
 
All information is shared in the spirit of caring and goodwill; constructive input is always welcome.
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I personally thank you for allowing me the privilege of expression.  I humbly ask that you continue to give me your blessings and feedback as I continue to pass along information which you wish to share.  Please know that your participation is instrumental in creating our Orange County Community of Caring. 

Love, nellie

New Pink & White M&M's


 

I have been asked to keep this going and hope you will keep it  moving too.


Pass this on to all of your friends. There are many women out there who have breast cancer,  Let’s do all we can to support this cause.  

The maker of M&M candies has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to raise funds through the sale of their new 'pink & white'  M&M candies.

For each 8-ounce bag of the special candies sold, the makers of M&M (Masterfoods) will donate .50 cents to the foundation. The next time you want a treat, please pick up a bag (now sold in stores nationwide) - you will be donating to a great cause and satisfying your sweet tooth.  Just think how much will be donated--if each of us buys one or two bags....

 

 Buy a bag for a friend....  Please pass on to all  your family and friends.

"When there are enough people who have healed themselves, the environment will also mirror that...

...The principle to keep in mind is that consciousness wants to evolve. Therefore it is much easier to encourage healing than to align yourself with disease. Love and respect for the environment would create a reversal of the spiraling deterioration in the physical world. We need to trust that this is true, because in a very real sense the environment is sustained by human awareness. If you align your awareness with catastrophe, nature will factor those thoughts as your vote for the future. The peace movement can align itself with a healed planet, adding millions of votes to that side. And since our votes carry depth of awareness, they will be far stronger than any thoughtless vote for destruction."

Adapted from Peace is the Way, by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press, 2005).
