“The only gift is a por­tion of thy­self.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emer­son

Has life ever not  gone as you’ve expected it?   There are those set­backs that are minor, and we can move on in our jour­ney with­out much prob­lem (and some­times these set­backs end up being so, so good for us too).  And then there are those big­ger set­backs, that can shake us to our core.

Tess Mar­shall, from The Bold Life, and I are team­ing up to help sup­port the fam­i­lies of those affected by the recent tor­nado in Joplin, Missouri.

We’re work­ing together to raise money to sup­port these fam­i­lies, through dona­tions to the Amer­i­can Red Cross.  The Red Cross has a pres­ence in Joplin, and we’re cre­at­ing a way for you to be a part of rebuild­ing this com­mu­nity (and its peo­ple).  As our way of rais­ing money to sup­port Joplin, we’re cre­at­ing an e-book which we’ll then sell, with 100% of the prof­its going to the Amer­i­can Red Cross.

NOTE:  We’re not look­ing for your finan­cial support.

To make this a real­ity, we need your help, though.  We would love for each of you to be a part of this e-book we’re cre­at­ing.  And this e-book will be a com­pi­la­tion of favorite posts by a num­ber of dif­fer­ent blog­gers.  Please con­sider join­ing us!  All it takes is for you to choose a favorite post from your site.  That’s it!  And then we’ll include it in the e-book we’re cre­at­ing, with a link, as well, to your site.

What We Need:
Your com­mit­ment, below, to join us.  Once we’ve col­lected our list of con­trib­u­tors we’ll be send­ing out spe­cific infor­ma­tion on how you can sub­mit your favorite post to us, for inclu­sion into the e-book.

That’s it!

In early July, we’ll have the e-book cre­ated.  Note that there is no oblig­a­tion for you to buy one of the e-books.  If, how­ever, you do choose to — know that all the pro­ceeds will go to sup­port the rebuild­ing of Joplin.  We’ll be sell­ing the e-books for a sug­gested dona­tion of $5.

Thank you for all your sup­port, not only with this, but for all that you do.

If you have any ques­tions, please don’t hes­i­tate to con­tact either Tess or myself.
