Pay It Forward Conference

This is a letter I received this week from one of the Pay It Forward leaders:

Hey Everybody,

Here are the details and the sign up link for the "World's First Ever Pay it Forward Experience" happening here in Utah in Late October. We have an amazing group of speakers coming in such as Catherine Ryan Hyde (author of Pay it Forward), Adrianne Schmidt (creator of Karma Experiment with over 1.2 million followers), Bob Littell (creator of NetWeaving - www.netweaving.com ) and Hannah Taylor (Founder of Ladybug Foundation - www.ladybugfoundation.ca)

The event takes place on the 21st - 23rd of October and we will start it out early Friday morning with a BIG pay it forward project in the community.  We have teamed up with the Mayor and she has requested we "Paint the Parks".  Hundreds of us will converge on the city parks and make them look amazing for the Community.  We will also be doing an event called "Blanket the City" with the Roadhome Homeless Shelter to make sure they have enough Blankets for the cold Winter months ahead.

We hope you can join us physically but understand if you can not. For those who can't make it we still want you to be a part of this amazing event with us so we will be broadcasting this event LIVE, all 3 days of it!  You will be able to watch it from home, or maybe at your office or maybe at your school with your classmates.  This option is going to make it so people from all over the world will get to see this world changing event but they will get a little extra as well. How about some behind the scenes access and backstage interviews with the speakers? This will be exclusive to those viewing via the webinar from all over the world.

Money will be going to the Ladybug Foundation, the Pay it Forward Foundation and the RoadHome Homeless Shelter so come on out and join us.  Here is the link to sign up - http://zermattresort.com/events/pay-it-forward-event/

Thanks for listening and hope you can join us on this World Changing Journey.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

After my post, Brotherly Love , I received an email from a reader who reminded me of this song. I knew the song, but had never really thought about the words and the meaning behind them. I looked it up and thought others might see the lyrics in a new light.   He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows when But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother. So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another. It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother. He's my brother He ain't h

Make this Race Amazing

Mecklenburg County's Therapeutic Recreation's Amazing Race is Saturday, March 24, 2012. All funds raised go directly to the scholarship fund for summer camp. Summer Camp is 8 weeks long with over 150 children with special needs participating. Last year, over $6,500 was given away in scholarships. In times of budget cuts and loss of resources, Amazing Race is a creative way for the staff to raise money for the children who may need financial assistance attending camp. I will be posting photos from 2011 camp. I am only posting photos that do not show faces of the children, but you will get the idea about how much they enjoy the activities. You don't have to see their smiles, you just have to feel them. The staff have sent me their thoughts on how they feel about camp and I will be posting those as well. Most are trained as recreational therapists and have devoted their life's work to helping children and adults with special needs learn skills, make friends, de
