Have a Heart, or, Happy Birthday to Me

Good morning, Readers!

It's official.  As of today, I am too old for this shit.

So, it's my birthday.

I dislike celebrating it for a number of reasons.  Rather unusually, from what I've gathered, the reminder of my mortality isn't one of them.  It just seems like a lot of fuss for nothing.

I've decided, however, to turn today into something special.  Not for me.  I don't need anything.  As it turns out, though, there are people who do.  And there's a great way to help them out.

Kiva,org is a website that enables you, ordinary citizens, to help people help themselves   Through them, you can provide a small loan (a microloan), to help them buy the things they need to aid their businesses.  As the business grows, they pay you back for that loan.

It's a fantastic thing, I think, because it's not really charity. It's a loan.  You get your money back.  And people's lives improve.

This is all completely voluntary, of course, but if anyone was tempted to buy me a birthday gift, I would very much prefer it if you were to join my Kiva.org team and give a loan to someone trying to improve their lives.  I have everything I need, even if not everything I want.  They could use it more than I.

Here is the link to the team.

Be sure to just make it a microloan.  If you try and do it in my name, you won't get your money back (the repayments will go to the website instead of back to you).  I mean, do what you want, but at least this way you can get your $25.00 back.

Anywho, thanks very much!  I shall be celebrating my birthday with sending book review requests and beta reading!

Have a fantastic day.

​Ciao!
