newbuzz...I have not made a donation via cell phone to Haiti yet. Though this is an amazing way to fund a truly worthy cause, I cannot jump on the bandwagon. I have already made a commitment to help those in need whom I encounter on a daily basis. Often, this includes my family members. Sometimes it is a friend. More and more often, it is just me, and managing my own needs and finances. Hard times have surely changed my financial behavior. Now I must think about every penny that leaves my purse. I cannot spend much on entertainment or going out, and I cannot donate to every cause that pops up. But, this does not mean that I cannot make a contribution. My efforts at putting my own finances to rights as well as the help I can give to family and friends makes a mark on this earth as surely as the medical personnel who are helping earth quake survivors in Haiti. I agree with Theodore Roosevelt who said, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." If I keep this in mind, and act on it accordingly, there is no reason to feel that I am not doing my share, and no reason to doubt the power of my contributions.
