Singers are very passionate people and a lot of times the power behind their voices comes from the struggles that they have encountered in life. This was definitely the way I felt as I watched Elliott Yamin put on a passionate and heart-felt show here in Columbia Tuesday night. (READ MORE)

OK, so I haven’t raised a dime yet, but there are a couple things in the works. I contacted our local coffeehouse in town to see if they’d be interested in hosting a small benefit show. It will need to be small. The coffeehouse is about the size of my kitchen.

 

We haven’t hashed out all the details yet, but a couple friends and I would play some music for a few hours. I guess we’ll ask for a contribution at the door. We’ve played the coffeehouse before and they got my name wrong on their website. "Performing tonight! Mary Potash."

 

So, I think it’s only appropriate for us to go with it when promoting our fundraising show.

 

"Mary Potash Gives Back."

 

"Mary Potash and Friends Fight Diabetes."

When I was in grade school, regardless of whether our Trick-or-Treat costumes were home-made or store-bought, whether we wore masks or make-up, our huge paper loot bags were accompanied by small orange milk cartons stamped with information from UNICEF -- The United Nations Children's Fund. Printed on the cartons were examples of what a small donation might do for a child in a third-world country -- a nickel, for example, might provide a child with a pencil and notebook for school; a dollar might vaccinate him against smallpox or polio; five dollars could get his town clean water. The following school day, our teachers would collect the milk containers. The local PTA would count up the money and submit the school's UNICEF donation for that year.

Today, the first Friday of February, is national "Wear Red" day in honor (or observance) of Women's Heart Health Awareness, as spearheaded by the "Go Red for Women" campaign. So of course I will be wearing red to work and I've been handing out Red Dress pins.

I tend not to be as fascinated as many are by those folk who spend an entire work week's worth of time trying to get their groceries for free (or nearly free). The bottom line is, I don't have kids, I don't have pets, and most of the things for which I find coupons are either things I can't use, don't use, or don't need. The food items are almost always in those "center aisles" of the supermarket we, as people with diabetes, are cautioned to Avoid Like The Plague, and many have so much sodium that you'd think they included the entire "corpus" of Lot's wife (after she had been "turned into a pillar of salt").
