Today is a scary day for me.
I am going to be handing out letters to local businesses asking for sponsorships and donations.
It's not that I am not confident in my project. I am very confident that it is a wonderful idea, and the finished product will be beautiful and inspiring.
However, If you know me, I am a quiet person....well I am a quiet person at first...lol...If you really know me, I can be pretty loud and obnoxious.
What makes today really hard is that I have to ask people for money...which I HATE!
I hope that you guys all realize that the hardest part of this idea was to have to ask for the funds to do it.
If I had the money, I would be in the car already and cross country by now, with no extra funding.
But when you need help, you have to ask for it. So that is what I am doing; I am asking for help.
Of course there are doubtful moments. I can barely get 22 people to read my blog. I have no idea if the 30 days of Random Acts of Kindness to promote my blog and kickstarter are working. I can barely get people on my facebook page who are suppose to be my friends to read or share my blog posts. And its not that I expected it to be easy, but there are daily disappointments...believe me.
But what I do know is that every time some one shares a post, backs my project on kickstarter, or tells me its an awesome idea, I feel amazing.
And I hope that I am making a difference, because that is what this is all about after all.
So now that I am done with "venting" I need to get back to assembling letters and fix lunch so I can get out there.
Have a great day!

Welcome to my blog. It's a bit of a mess. I'm a bit of a mess. It used to be about just kindness. Now it is about finding strength in the darkest places. Discovering love through grief. Traveling this beautiful world. And continuing to practice kindness all because of a little boy I love and miss very much. I hope you find inspiration in all my ramblings. #loveelijah
