Doing my part

I have cut back on my latte consumption in the last two years, partially because of it’s cost and secondly because I’m still trying to loose that extra baby-weight.  But today I did make it in before work and to my surprise I was one of the first to witness the launch of an initiative by Starbucks (who donated $5 Million to and is teaming up with) and Opportunity Finance Network to “Create Jobs for USA“.  (www.createjobsforUSA.org)

In these economic times it is essential for all of us to pitch in to not only turn our economy around but help out the businesses and neigbors who are out there on the front lines doing their part.

So Starbucks is selling these awesome little bracelets for your $5 donation which 100% goes to a whole slew of investiment strategies from funding nonprofits to what else… job creation!

I have a funny feeling these bracelets are going to sell out… so I would get in today and get yours and help all of us pull our country (and in a sense the rest of the world) out of this negative spin we’ve been in for years now and get going again in the right direction!

The saying on the bracelet says “Indivisible” and that’s what I’m standing behind with my purchase and outward fashion statement!

Say cheese!

When you are the “creative one” in the family, you get the opportunity to lend out your talents for a variety of needs.  I’ve helped my family with everything from web site design to the latest… creating a photo booth for my sister’s event.

I always enjoy helping out with items that I enjoy doing, and this photo booth was one of them.  Now if only I could apply my worldly-artistic talents to a PAID position!

WARNING! To all that enter…

On January 1st of this year (2011) I have decided to embark on a adventure of sorts…

My entire year I will be purchasing EVERYTHING I need at a Goodwill store! (except toilettries, prescriptions and food items)

This blog and challenge can be found at:  www.livingthegoodwilllife.wordpress.com

I will still be writing about my evolutionary ideas, my eco-art and of course my poetry on this blog but it is important to note this year-long endeavor here as well and provide more insight into the person behind the name “Beautiful Existence” to all inquisitive parties.
