Squidoo For Charity!

I have started in the most active, energetic group to raise funds for charity. The Squidoo Activists write lenses (web pages) to share information about a topic of interest - or a charity of interest. At times they may build the lens around information on a person. One that is really special at this time is on Dr. Randy Pausch. He was a very giving, brave man who showed others how to live. Another is a Lemonade Stand that can be an inspiration for youth in the community. Children can learn the giving spirit at a young age. There are even free lemonade stands available if you follow the links.
Squidoo raises money by the ads placed on the pages with the information and from a commission when people reading the lens follow the links and purchase an item - from eBay, Amazon or CafePress as examples. Each little bit helps. When the little bits get added together they make a big bit for Charity.
Try it yourself or just support the causes of other lensmasters. Many charieties are represented from a wide range of interests. Your creativity might be a great contribution.

Change - Peace - Decisions

Peace comes when all is settled and decisions have been made. Anytime we decide there should be change our stomach knots into a little tight ball. Why does this happen? Obviously it is the unknown, the change that we aren’t sure of that brings us opportunity. Even once you have intellectually made that decision to change things the personal emotions tag along and cause havoc.
It is a time of change. Politicians campaign on this promise. The economy demands it for most of us. Just our health and age cause change for many of us. That still doesn’t say we are ready for that ‘opportunity’. If we can look at each challenge - time of change - as an opportunity we have a much better chance of being at peace.
