The SECRET


There's been such buzz about "The Secret" (good and bad) -- I personally love it and what it represents, and while I think the nay-sayers' intentions are good in worrying that people will be mindless sheep just "positively thinking" their life away, I wish they'd give us a little more credit than that.

What's wrong with working hard, being a good, decent, moral person, living by The Golden Rule, and sending good intentions into the world, believing that what you put out there will be attracted back to you? It's what's been going on for ages with religion -- it's the basic principle upon which almost every single oragnized faith is based upon.

Will the producers make lots of money from the sales of the book and dvd? Probably. Will it hurt anyone if the sale of those products generates more positivity across the world?

Don't we have more than enough skepticism and negativity already?

I think so, and that's how I came up with the idea to open a new store section at chunkyrhino (ba dum bum, ching). It's called chunkykarma and it's all about sending your positive thoughts, intentions, feelings out to the world. Even if all that happens is that you make someone smile, how could it be a BAD thing? Plus, one dollar from every sale at chunkyrhino will go to Invisible Children, Inc., so you're actually doing 2 good things at once!!

BEEP

I'm so excited about this new side project I'm working on with my mom!!

She and her students have joined the Invisible Children campaign (which if you aren't familiar with, you need to stop reading this post right now and go here, then come back)

Going along with the "My heart is beeping quote", they had been brainstorming ideas, some of which mom was discussing with me. A few hours later, and voila!, a fundraiser was born!!

Her students will buy stuff, their friends will buy, YOU can buy, we'll spread the word and help some kids! Best of all, I'll be donating all proceeds from the sale of the Invisible Children products to the Invisible Children campaign.

Did I mention they make great gifts???
