I am the Type-Aist, organized, goal-oriented person I know.
In preparation for this worldwide trip, I have kept a long “To-Do” & “Goals” list on my desktop for at least 9 months to keep myself on track and make sure everything gets taken care of before leaving. If I write down my goals and dreams and put them in a place for me to see they WILL be accomplished.
I’m happy to say that ALL of the vital “To-Do & Goals” have been X off. Except, there is one sad little (actually it’s big) goal that somehow in the midst of life I have given up on. And that’s this.
Making the list (and checking it twice) with 9 solid months ahead of me, I figured that’d be PLENTY of time to reach such a goal. Well here I am, 8 months later with this exact number in my account right now.
It’s not a bad number. In fact, it’s a GREAT number. I am right on track with my fundraising deadlines and I am thankful for that every day. But, it’s not my goal number. It’s not the number I dreamed of.
So with exactly one month left until I “Launch”, I challenge you my readers, subscribers, friends, family, and acquaintances, to help me get this number to $11,000.
It’s the number of champions. In The World Race’s eyes, it’s the most beautiful number. (#11n11)
If my account says $11,000+ by September 7, 2013 I vow to eat a fried tarantula in Cambodia. I will eat it, I will record it, and I will thank God for giving me my “daily bread”.
Note: I am a vegetarian (I consider arachnids meat) and have a mild case of arachnophobia. I had a pretty gnarly experience with a deathly spider when I was in Nepal that seriously made me consider desiring to go overseas ever again. So this is a big deal. But I will do it. Click anywhere on this page where it says "Support Me!" to help me eat it.
