St. Baldricks Day

On March 18th, several “shavees” came together as the finale of their fundraising campaign to raise funds for the St. Baldricks Foundation- a nonprofit organization aimed at raising money for childhood cancer research.

A big shout out goes to all my sponsors and supporters who helped me reach my target goal of raising $1,000 in 8 days. As promised, here is the video of the event…

Why You Won’t Help a Stranger

There is so much we can give a complete stranger until we tell them no or politely refuse a request. The reason? Because there is a lack of a personal relationship with that person. A part of us is always willing to try to help, but when we are asked to extend ourselves it is hard to sometimes take the leap of faith and really give it our all to a complete stranger.

I am asking you today to take that leap of faith with me to help some “strangers” that I just met. Most of the people who read this blog only know me from what I chose to write and speak, conversely I only know you from your Twitter profiles, Facebook profiles, forums, and comments left here. But I do know one thing about each and everyone of you- there is an innate quality that you and I share, that you share with others, that we all share with the Universe… that innate quality that is intrinsic with your Source is that you have a tremendous ability to love and to give love. We give it all the time to friends and family, are you willing to join me to take the next step and extend that love to a total stranger?

St. Baldricks (www.stbaldricks.org) is the largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research.Volunteers from around the country pledge to shave their heads around St. Patrick’s Day to independently raise money to help support the cancer research. Here are the strangers I have chosen to help CLICK HERE.

I am extending the invitation to join this cause throughout my entire network- personal friends, social networking connections, business connections… the whole gamut. I am personally extending an invitation to you to help spread your love and help extend your love and support.

You may never meet me. You may never see any of the children you support. You may never see the joy of the people you help… BUT you will receive back the love you give out in more ways than you ever thought possible, that’s my personal guarantee! (Plus you will see me shave my head as an added bonus ;)

If you would like to make a donation to such a great cause, please click HERE. I understand that we may not all have the financial resources to make a donation, so I ask you spread this message to at least 3 people you know and let’s help find a cure for cancer.

Many blessings to you!

The Best Way to Achieve Your Goals

The best I found to achieve goals is simple: tell everyone you know. Most importantly, tell the people closest to you- your best friends, loved ones, family, etc. They are your biggest fans and that means you have total responsibility to them.

Once you tell everyone, you have no place to hide… you have made yourself accountable to the most important people in your life.

Think about it this way: Have you ever let someone close to you down? I bet you have and it feels awful. Imagine that happening, but it is with everyone close to you… and it was because you told them you were going to do something and you fell short.

I challenge yourself to try it with a goal that is significant to you- surprise yourself and others about how far you can tap into your potential. Growth is not an individual effort, it is a journey we share both individually and with others. Let your close ones be an intrinsic part of that journey by holding yourself accountable to them.
