How Cool Is This?
Remember those lovely girls that I visited up in Bellingham a couple of weeks ago? The ones that did the Heifer International social action project for their school? And then I made a little iReport/Youtube video out of my visit with them?
Well, their minds are blowing up right about now because of this:
The biggest THANK YOU to CNN. I know Quinn, Kelsey and Hazel are THRILLED TO DEATH about being on the news and having their small project turn into something larger than even they had dared to imagine.
It just feels good all around.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

Wowie! Congrats to you for the publicity, but more so for the girls — their project is getting bigger than they would have though!
How awesome! Way to go on getting them coverage. =)
Wow — terrific! Amazing how these things can snowball. Way to go!
Wow–great exposure for such a worthy cause.
That is so awesome!
I bet those girls feel amazing! I look up to the fact that you used your resources and contacts to show these girls how one small idea of making a change in the world can really become something else. I’m sure that you are an inspiration to them as well as other people. Thank You!!
You rock! Things are going your way and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
So proud of you!!! (I’ve even posted it on my fb) Another grand example of using your “powers” for good!

Also an excellent way to “get out there” and expand beyond the weight issues and be recognized and respected for other deeper issues as well.
Although proud, I’m not surprised. I’ve always known you had “extra special” within you.
SO cool!
Congratulations. That is really great. Way to amplify voices
