$10 Change X 1000

How noisy (with LOVE, of course) can we be? Can we activate a movement in the next 12 days to encourage 1,000 people to make $10 donations, using the power of social media?

This is more difficult than it sounds, and will take COMMITMENT on places like Facebook, twitter, and online sites, but the energy we can cultivate will be more powerful than we can imagine! For those of you who don't think your $10 is enough or your voice is enough, I invite you to experience the shift, from a place of divine, radiant, unique, enthusiastic, inextinguishable love.

This doesn't mean you can't give more if you wish. By all means. If you want to give $20, $50, $100, $1000, and be contributing for 2, 5, 10, or 100 people, as always my gratitude for you and your contribution is available and abundant, and I thank you always. But if your strengths currently lie more in the energy/networking/shout it out elements, more so than financial, this one's for YOU.

Will you help??? With excitement? For 12 days?? Namaste.
