We all have people in our lives that bring smiles just thinking about them.  My mom, sisters (in-law), friends, teachers… the list is long for me.  They are sources of joy, light, and also encouragement to be stronger, sweeter and even more generous.  Most of the people that come to mind for me are women that I look up and aspire to be more like in one way or another.

As we come to two weeks away from Christmas I am joining Jane.com to encourage you to look at who these people are in your life.  Nominate one of the angels in your life and right now you will both be rewarded.  Jane.com is giving 10 angels $200 in cash, plus the person that nominated them also gets $200!  You can even go big and nominate a different angel everyday if you want.

My nomination is a dear friend, Betsy, that encourages me to always have joy.  She is a mom of 6, and wife to a local pediatrician.  That alone should win anyone an award as doctors wives all know just what it takes to run a household with a very busy husband.  I am always in awe of Betsy, but not just because she runs a household and home schools.  She is a constant reminder to me to always smile.  If boys bring an injured duck into the house, you roll with the punches… don’t lose your cool just put the duck in the closed in shower and start wound care (did I mention that she is also a nurse).  Our moments with children are brief, as most parents with grown children will remind you, and Besty embraces everyday with love, compassion and patience that overflows.

I challenge you to join in on Share Jane Love and nominate your angel! You have through December 15th to nominate an Angel in your life.  Post a picture of them using hashtag #ShareJaneLove and tagging @veryjane then head to the Share Jane Love page and make sure to officially enter them! At the end of the campaign 10 nominated Angels and their nominator, will each win $200 cash!

Who do you nominate? Who is your Share Jane Love angel?
