			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So there&#8217;s about 90 minutes to go until the new year begins here. I was going to do one of those really cheesy end of the year posts, but I just can&#8217;t bring myself to write one. Lucky you, eh. <img src='http://pathtopersonalgrowth.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>One thing I did want to do is mention that for the woman whose home we were trying to save before Christmas (see <a href="http://pathtopersonalgrowth.com/blog/gratitude/a-christmas-story-in-the-making">A Christmas Story in the Making</a>), the goal was met. In a truly beautiful symphony of teamwork and togetherness, the members of the Warrior Forum raised enough through sales and donations to help Tina save her home. I really do love happy endings. <img src='http://pathtopersonalgrowth.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I love happy beginnings to, and will be posting something tomorrow about that. </p>
<p>For now, I want to wish you all the love, laughter, peace, and prosperity you can handle and then some. May all your dreams come true in the coming year.</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing this journey with me.</p>
<p>Love ya,<br />
Lena</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling decidedly un-Christmassy this year, as you&#8217;ve no doubt noticed by the lack of holiday talk. Ever since my parents passed away, and my son grew up, it just doesn&#8217;t seem to mean as much. I really think that it&#8217;s because there&#8217;s no going home for the holidays anymore and this is the one time of year when I really miss having a home to go home to. </p>
<p>When I hear of people losing their homes, especially at this time of year, it really makes me sad because I know how important it is to have that place that &#8217;s like an anchor in your world. The one place you know where you&#8217;re safe, where you can always go back to, where your family has grown up and made so many memories. It&#8217;s really heart-wrenching when someone who is a member of your community comes forward and asks for prayers because instead of getting ready to celebrate the holidays, she&#8217;s packing and getting ready to lose her home. </p>
<p>That happened this week, and what followed is nothing short of amazing. I know that as a group the Internet Marketing community gets a pretty bad rap a lot of the time. But let me tell you, when someone needs help I have never seen another group band together so quickly or give so selflessly. And that&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening right now. </p>
<p>There is a movement afoot to create a real Christmas story with a happy ending for this woman and her family. The Internet Marketing community has come together in a virtual barn raising of sorts to help save her home. To watch them in action is a sight to behold, and I&#8217;m so very grateful just to be a small part of it. You can see what&#8217;s happening here: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/true-christmas-story-virtual-barn-raising">A True Christmas Story &#8211; Virtual Barn Raising</a> and if you can help out at all, that would be great too. </p>
