Still a little bit backwards as I try to catch up after this flu. Week 41 (from last week) will be posted shortly. Tuesday evening, I had the privilege to speak to an audience at my local Toastmasters meeting. It’s not something that I do often enough, I still fear public speaking. But when there [...]

My Facebook friends already know that this past week ended grumpily for me. I was referred to as a “Slacktivist”, and while it was said tongue-in-cheek, it still ticked me off.

Twice during the first 20 weeks we’ve had to scale back our expectations due to illness, household “disaster” or just plain fatigue. But, we’re proud to say that we [...]

Week 7: Effortless Impact, Thumbs Up

Posted in click-to-donate, tagged on February 22, 2010 | Comments Off

Well, Week 7: Effortless Impact with click-to-donate links, certainly was a hit. And, without a doubt, FreeRice gets the most votes. Everyone who sent in feedback wrote how fun the vocabulary quizzes are; one friend spent a quality-time evening with her son doing the German quiz. Nils was hoping to improve his first language German vocabulary [...]

Week 7: Effortless Impact

Posted in click-to-donate, Search-to-donate, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on February 15, 2010 | 6 Comments »

This week is all about “Effortless Impact.”  We’ve chosen this for a very good reason: our sanity. The past couple of weeks (let’s not even mention the ones coming up!) have been “a bit” chaotic in our household. I think you know what I’m talking about — I have a deadline looming in March, and [...]
