When I forget I'm rich...

Sometimes I forget just how rich I am. I don't just mean money-rich, I mean friends-rich, love-rich, God-rich too.

I went to good old Trader Joe's and picked up all this bounty for a picnic with friends... and can I tell you the truth--- the whole time I was so stressed out that I didn't enjoy it. Cue the thought dominoes of frustration! (Here's a secret- I get frustrated that I'm frustrated.)

Really though, I could use your input on this. What makes you forget the good stuff and focus on the bad? How do you get out of that funk? I'd love to know!

Creative Fundraising Ideas

Go latte-less with friends.
Ask as many friends if you can if they'll give up lattes (or their special treat of choice) for just 1 week with you. Imagine if 30 of your friends gave up lattes for a week you could fund a whole class for a year!

Host a flower-potluck.
Get together with your friends in your backyard or at a lovely park. Ask each person to bring a small bouquet of flowers to share and $10 to donate to show the women of India that they're worth it! Each one can make a bouquet using the flowers brought by others so that all week she's reminded that - TOGETHER we can share worth & beauty with the world!

Give the Gift of Light

Light her path this Giving Tuesday. Hundreds of millions of our sisters in India are living in deep darkness...
IN INDIA... 45 million children are working today. 47% of girls are married before 18. Every 17 minutes a bride is burned to death over dowry. She’s traded like property. Every 20 minutes a woman or girl is raped. Most go unprosecuted. 50 million girls are missing in India. That’s as if every single girl in America disappeared. 86% of India’s women live on less than $2.50 a day. 250 million of them are robbed of education… It’s not too late to give it to them.
