Give $1 for Charity

Category : General Stuff

My friend Tara at Green Tip of the Day is reporting a few other green blogs that are getting together and helping other charities that are experiencing decreased donations.

Here is a quote from the main article located at The Good Human -

“The message is that there are great organizations out there which are suffering in this economic downturn through decreased donations…and they need our help! So we have decided to give you, our readers, a voice and a choice. We have decided to take on a very simple fundraising mission, and we are asking you to donate just $1.00.

A single dollar; that’s all. ”

Head over now and donate one single dollar… or more if you choose. We can make a difference collectively. You can even vote what charity will get the funds.

Take a minute now… Thank you ! Here’s the direct link again. These guys ROCK! The Good Human

Onward and upward

It has been a long fall and winter for me and my family. My business was hit hard by the economy and I watched my commissions go lower and lower and our finances get scarier and scarier. Our savings were completely emptied as well.

But with outstanding faith and commitment to God and knowing that a job will come that is just right and perfect, it has finally happened. Today I recieved a job offer and I just knew this was the right one. I had felt really good about the interview process and knew I nailed it.

Since I have many years experience in sales and outside sales, that is where I have been applying myself. I will be continuing to work in that field and that is good news for you. As I learn and grow more and more, I will be sharing even more tips and tricks with you and tailor them to the direct sales world.

I am excited to start on this new endevor and can’t wait to see what comes!

Blog Action Day 2008 – Poverty

Category : General Stuff

Today is Blog Action day. It marks a day where millions of people across the world unite in posting about a cause close to their heart. This year, it is poverty.

Poverty surrounds us all, whether we see it or not. We have the homeless, some choose it, most do not. We have the working poor, who are lucky to get one meal on the table each day. We have the millions around the world that we try and feed as well. What is in your town? How can you help?

Personally, I work with a non profit that is teaming up with others in our town to run huge food drives to try and get food to those that are hungry. We have churches that feed kids during the summer. We have groups that feed the elderly and the homeless.

But what about jobs and income that are important to keep poverty away? I can only pray for our leaders that they will find a way to keep jobs coming to this area and that those that are in need can find a job. It is a circle that can be influenced by us, one way or another.

What can you do for your neighbor?
