For the past year I have been trying to figure out how I want to give back but have been overwhelmed by it. I decided to start small, but meaningful. What I realized starting at age nine was that giving has felt a little empty. I realize giving is not supposed to be about me, but I want to feel that full circle moment. When I give some money I want to know who specifically is receiving it, what treatment has been tried, who has it worked for and who hasn't it worked for? What goat have they purchased, what well have they dug and for who? Do you understand where I'm going with this?
So.......for me........I started the Give Good Project. It may seems small and not very glamorous but it resonates with me in a gigantic way! It's very simple. 100% for $100. I sell a piece of art or donate money from color consulting and %100 of the $100 goes directly to someone living in a Big, Brave Way. Living with cancer, losing someone they love, fighting their way out of poverty, raising kids with little means, taking care of their aging parents, shelters for animals, I can keep going. Let me tell you about my first project.

| Reggie Chan lived a Great, Big, Beautiful Life! A lover of nature, an amazing athlete, and beautiful human being. The perfect recipient of something Good! Sadly Reg left after 18 months with brain cancer. He even was able to make it snow for us one last time this season ( remember that crazy snowy morning last Friday?) |
