Good Morning Friends! 

Have a true story to share with you today.  As you are probably aware, various States publish a list of people who have unclaimed property available to them; it could be land, bank deposits, insurance, utility deposits, etc., etc.  When our lists are published, of course we all rush to check to see if our names, family member names, etc. are on the list. :)  Well, I actually know someone who went to missingmoney.com and, after about a month, received several thousand “pennies from heaven”!…and couldn’t we all use these extra funds for personal/charitable reasons!  Dream about it but check it out…you might be next!   

 Abundant Blessings, Jean
