Becoming a Blogger??

And hours later, I have finally completed my blog creation... Months away from my trip to Phnom Pehn Cambodia with Childrens Global Alliance and I am already feeling the life changes begin... Even with small things like starting a blog. Fundraising has also been a step outside of my comfort zone. At first, the idea of asking people for money to fund going halfway around the world was intimidating to me. After a good talk with my parents and my aunt and uncle, I realized that I shouldn't feel this way. I understand not everyone has money to give away, but there are fewer willing to give up time out of their busy lives to travel to a 3rd world country to help improve the lives of others. Every one of us is guilty of spending money unnecessarily in our every day lives. To raise $2000 to spend 3 weeks living quite comfortably is really not such a daunting task. If 100 of my friends can spare $20, then my costs are paid for. I, for one, know that giving a friend that money would not be an inconvenience. Now, I also prefer to work for my earnings, so arranging fundraisers was in order. Step one, utilize my skill set... So obviously, cutting hair became my first event. Discounted haircuts, food and drink, and good company has been a successful draw. So thankful that my awesome boss Jamie at Rootz Hair Salon was on board. Second, transfer my love of fitness, health and yoga into an event to raise awareness for this great cause. With the help of +Jen Gutmann and +Revolution Power Yoga we have our second fundraiser. Last but certainly not least, get friends and family involved... A night of music, food, and fun at +Bobs Place with Monk Tonik. As the events start to fall into place, and the meetings with the amazing students and chaperones become more informative and exciting, the impact of what I will experience this summer hits me harder and harder. One thing is for sure... becoming a blogger will be the least of my life changes.
