My mission in life is to help people live their possibilities.

As a life coach, I do that by moving people toward their dreams (and getting them out of their own way).

As a blogger, I do that by inspiring people to consider what's possible for them by sharing the crazy, scary, and goofy things from my own life.

As a wife, daughter, stepmom, and friend, I show up, spend time, hug, cook,... basically, I share my love.

And that's what it all comes down to isn't it? Love.

So for my birthday this year (when I'll be turning a scary 39 years old), I would like to share the love and abundance of my own life with some people who need it more than I do.

I'm asking for help with this from everyone I know (in the form of donations in whatever amount makes sense for you, whether you just got a bonus at work and donate $100 or you skip Starbucks for a day and donate $5... any amount will help).

And every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund clean water projects in developing nations. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll be able to see the communities we've helped!

My goal is to raise $1,000 by my birthday, February 11, 2013.

Please join me to make this birthday count.
