How this blog came about...

When I (Kalenn), arrived home from Ohio after my wonderful mother's passing, and reality began to sink in a bit...it was the second week of January.  I began to think I should set a few goals for the new year as I always do.  As I contemplated this, all I could think about was my mom.  I then decided...why not make some goals to honor mom in some way?  That is when I thought of doing 86, since she died at age 86, kind acts for others.  I started to wonder if I could be creative enough to do that many on my own, and would I lose steam if I did them over a period of a whole year?  So I decided to invite my husband, my great kids and their awesome spouses, as well as my grandkids, to join me.  I also decided to make it happen by her 87th birthday! I am so excited to make some small differences in peoples lives over the next 5 months!  This would make Mom happy, I believe.  I love her so much and love my family for their desire to join me on this quest!
