Breaking NEWS!

This Just IN!
　
I have taken a huge leap forward with my volunteer commitments I assured you that I would be making for 2011.

Please join me I would love to have a team to do this with November 4-6:

I am starting a new Journey. I am going to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3day walk in Dallas. Every person will walk 60 miles in 3 days. 20 miles a day! God has really placed this commitment on my heart. For the last week I have tossed and turned about doing this. I am making the announcement that I will be involved in this new venture.

So how did I pick this to be one of my events? Well a friend of mine does it in Arizona and I was just amazed and moved. This girlfriend of mine, is from SWKS, and just had knee surgery! But she still walked 60 miles for Breast Cancer Awareness. She is so inspiring to me!

I chose this to be one of my 12 events because: I not only need to do this for me, and my health, but I need to do this for every grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, friend, aunt, niece or stranger who has ever been affected by Breast Cancer. Most of all I want to do this for my Grandmother (Mrs. Henton) and My Aunt-in-law Patricia Jessup (Nana).

Why did I toss and turn and what was the debate? Well, let me share.

1. I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been. My crutch - I know I am heavy BUT I was Prego for 2 years in a row. Time to lose that crutch. I can get in shape and walk 60 miles in 3 days….right??!!

2. My Kids have to stay all alone. Solution: Kirt leaves me all alone for an entire weekend sometimes longer so he can go sit on his butt and shoot Bambi. Answer to the “problem” Pay it forward to big daddy. He can handle it!! Right?!!

3. You have to raise a minimum of $2300 by the time the walk starts. Problem: Yikes!!! That’s a lot of money!!! :/ Solution(s): 1. Find 23 super duper rich friends to donate $100 2. Find 230 friends to donate $10 a piece 3. Fundraise like CRAZY! I can do this. Right?!!

4. I want to do this with a friend. PLEASE SOMEONE SIGN UP! Ok, but you know what God told me last night. I promise it was like he said “If someone can make this commitment, that will be wonderful - if no one can make this commitment like you have that’s ok too, you are not going to be alone. There are lost of people that do this walk but most importantly you have me.” This was kind of my AH!HA! Moment. Im friendly, I have been to camps, I know how to talk to people. I can do this. Right?!!!

So, come pay day I will be registering (Jan 30^th) Because I think this is very important and I also think that Everyone deserves a lifetime.

If you would like to join me, I would love to have your company. We can build a team together. Don’t worry you don’t have to sign up together to be on the same “team.” Men and Women can both participate. You can find lots of information at www.the3day.org It costs $90 to register but if you register by Jan 31^st it only costs $65 using the code SAVE25.

I just received an email about a Get Started Phone Conference that will take place on Jan 26^th from 6-7:30. This is a meeting that will give you all of the ins-and-outs. You don’t have to have paid your registration. You can wait and get all of the information from the conference call to make your final decision. If you cant make it to that one, maybe you can RSVP for one of these:
