Each year I do a fundraiser and then deliver gifts to 25 people (1 each day in December) to people who need a little extra cheer. These people usually have touched, inspired, or changed someone's life in our community (or far away - we have delivered to Denver, Utah, and well all over actually) and they [...]
So, I was starting to think I wasn’t going to be able to pull off Holiday Cheer this year and I was worried because I kept getting so many messages and little reminders from people who let me know we needed to do. For one I got this text message I shared on FB a [...]
On November 2nd I received a note from Leighan. Leighan knows my aunt and our daughter's have danced together over the past four years. She wrote to me that she would like to nominate her mom, Linda, for Holiday Cheer this year. She wrote to tell me that her mother is "a selfless and amazing [...]
On the 29th of December, Tiffany was able to deliver a gift of cheer to Melissa. Tiffany nominated Melissa because she knew Melissa could use a little extra cheer. Melissa had been diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in 2014 and was finishing up her last rounds of chemo in December. Melissa is a mother of four [...]
Having a baby is a joyous occasion, but for some littles life starts out with a fight and unfortunately can continue that way to the very end. For 7-year-old Johnathan this is the case. He was born fighting for his life and by age 3 he was diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease type C. This disease is [...]
On today, Day 27, our nominee is Tricia. Tricia is a mom of three littles and was nominated by Kim. Kim has known Tricia for over 10 years.

Good morning and Merry Christmas my sweet Cheer Squad and lovely readers. Today's recipient is the first person I thought of when I set out to do the 25 Days of Holiday Cheer this year. Her current situation is something my family has lived through first hand. Lori a mother of three grown children was [...]
Today as we prepare for the nearing end of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season I find it fitting that our recipient today is a grandmother who has seen many a holiday season come to pass and greeted each one with love and a giant Christmas Spirit. My dear friend, Kim wanted to nominate [...]
I am so excited about this nominee. She was nominated by her daughter Christy. Christy and I have become friends recently and when she wrote to me to nominate her mom, I couldn't help but add her to our list this year. Her mom, Gail is nothing short of incredible. I got to meet her [...]
Today's recipient was nominated by Melissa. She wrote to me to tell me about her dear friend, Zenedith. Zenedith was diagnosed with stage one triple negative breast cancer. This type of breast cancer is aggressive because it is missing three receptors known to fuel most cancers. Now while that may sound good it isn't. Most [...]
Melissa is today's recipient. Melissa is a wonderfully, refreshing person. You never have to wonder what she is thinking or where you stand with her; if it is on her mind she says it out loud. She is mom to two boys and is helpful in everything they do from karate, scouts, piano lessons, to [...]
“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.” ― Anne Lamott As we hustle and bustle through our daily lives we often think that we are just doing what everyone else does. But here is the thing, that isn't necessarily true. If you watch the [...]
The one thing I know from witnessing and living through loss is that "there are certain sorrows that never fade away." We carry our loved ones with us and the grief in our hearts until we ourselves pass on to the next life. A teacher friend from mine, Shirley, wrote to me to nominate a dear [...]
As I finish wrapping presents and prepare for Christmas I am humbled by today's nominee. Lisa is a mother to three children 10, 8 and 6. She has terminal cancer. As I write this she is struggling to survive today, to love her kids just one more day and be with her family. The strength [...]
"There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways." — Mother [...]
