A Tribute to Mother’s Day!
Posted on 09. May, 2010 by admin in Law of Attraction Means Action
I love children and today was a very special Mother’s Day for me. When I was teaching in Owenton, KY. I made a promise to use my skills as a teacher and empower millions of children around the world. My passion became reality when I started ElizabethCobb.com, and drove traffic to my blog via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and 34 other social media sites.
Our campaign to raise money for Habitat for Humanity with Haitian Children is the start of my personal campaign.
As I continue to ask “what can I do to make a difference”, one answer is to raise money to build Haitian Homes through Habitat for Humanity. Rita Kuntz and I have set up a page on Habitat for Humanity’s website for 1,000,000 people to donate $1 or more to build the core houses.
We are reaching out to all of our contacts through all of the various social media and asking for everyone to pass on the word in their social networks. Though 1,000,000 people sounds like a lot of people, if we ALL do SOMETHING, we can improve the lives of so many families in Haiti.
Please go to Haitian Campaign and make a donation of $1 or more.
This afternoon I was being interviewed by Justine Nakata. Pour un projet a l’ecole, Le site du Sandrine la maman a Justine! Justine is a sophomore at Lakota East High School in Liberty Township. I was honored to be interviewed for a Career Exploration I-Search Paper! She is an amazing talented young woman. I would like to end tonight’s blog with a poem her father wrote to her in 2007.

Poem from dad to his girls
It’s Late
It’s late and the hour is nigh
to tuck you in and say goodbye
One more precious memory more valuable than pearls
one more precious day with my sweet little girls
The music you make is as sweet as can be
your talents and your gifts are so heavenly
The peace of each moment can be stolen so fast
If your time was cut short leaving only your past
Each time that I hug you tight and kiss you good night
There is peace in knowing that you’re safe and alright
For my little girls will grow up and move on
But my love and concern will never be gone
Maybe someday when a fine new mother you’ll be
you’ll understand how I feel, and then you will see
And so I must treasure each day that I can
for eventually you’ll grow up and find a young man
While I’m sure you will want him to be rich, fine and strong
I will have my own list too, and it will be much more long!
For he must make it so I sleep easy
knowing my girl is safe as can be
Though that day may seem so very far away
remember that a father’s love is here to stay
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Cobb
