I finished my half marathon yesterday….yes, yes, I did, despite poor health and neglected running legs. More on that later. But, though I’m not getting much done today, I’m sharing something with you that I’m really excited about.

I’ve linked up with #focusonmom before, because I love the idea of getting myself in the picture, even just to prove that I was with my family at an outing, or whatever. I want my children and grandchildren to see pictures of me when I’m older (or gone) and see what I was like. I started doing this more after Sarah started her self-portrait project, and love that Nicolette, Susi, and Melinda have a place to link up and gather with fellow moms-in-the-picture.

What I’m really excited about, though, is that not only have they started sharing a new Featured Mom each month, and I’m the very first one!

But that’s not all…Nicolette’s husband, Jon, and his company Jon Springer Realty, is generously helping me raise money for my Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training fundraiser, and making it so easy for everybody to help, too.

Here’s the deal. Make a comment on Nicolette, Susi, or Melinda‘s #focusonmom post, and he’ll donate $1. Link up for #focusonmom, and he’ll donate $1. Make a donation to LLS, and he’ll match it, up to $100. So, donate $1 and he’ll donate $1. Leave a comment, and he’ll donate $1. Link up, and HE’LL DONATE $1!

So easy. You can spare a comment at least, right? A comment that counts, and will help LLS fund research, treatments, and finding a cure for blood cancers?

  1. Every link up for Focus on Mom = $1.00 for my team
  2. Each comment = $1.00 for my team
  3. Make a donation = Jon will make an equal donation (donate here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ks/wdw14/gretafunk, then go back and tell Nicolette that you did, so it can be matched).

While you’re at it, because Jon is doing this without me even asking him to, could you go like his Facebook page? You’ll get to see amazingly extravagant homes for sale in Florida.

Of course, I can’t do all of this without linking up! So, here are my favorite self-portraits from the last month or so…
