A Call for Angels

Just a brief and incredibly forward note to share before I re-direct you to the abundance post below.

As always, I am eternally grateful for every single dollar contributed to this fund: I appreciate you and could not reach my goal without your generosity!

***That said, it's time for me to make a Call for Angels.***

With 25 days left in my challenge, my best projections currently put me roughly $10,000 short of the goal that has become my single purpose of 2010: raise $20,000 for Off the Mat, Into the World's Global Seva Challenge: South Africa, to benefit these 6 incredible charities and allow me to travel personally to Cape Town and serve in the manifestation of these projects hands-on.

I need the help of Angels. I am asking you, along with the Universe, to help me manifest a miracle, and bring this project the support of ANGEL DONORS - those inspired, able, and willing to give $2500, $5000, $7500, or even one amazing Angel to give $10,000 to this project. Doing so will change forever and for the better more lives than I can count. Including my own.

And so I put myself out there, take the risk... and I ask. Because sometimes the best thing you can do for a person is to give them the chance to support you.

LOVE

Even
after
all this time
the sun never says to the earth,

"You owe me."
Look what happens with a love like that -
it lights the whole world.
