Friends, on the 25th of September I turned 55. I a Friends, on the 25th of September I turned 55. I also got to celebrate being 5 years cancer free. . . I decided that every day I'd do one thing that lights up my soul. That's why I'm dedicating my birthday to helping women around the world formulate and execute their dreams! 🙂

Did you know that when a new well is built within a community it's the women and girls that are freed to do more than consider #water for their families?
**
In the past five years I've dedicated myself to the cause of #equity, #inclusion, #justice and supporting women around the world! I'm asking you to join me in helping. (link in bio)

When you donate to Charity Water @charitywater via my challenge you're helping a little girl have the opportunity of #education and for a woman to allow her creative mind to enrich her community.
**
My goal of $2,200 will help bring water to 55 people for a lifetime. . . Please help me reach my goal. . . when you click through you'll find out what I'll be doing at the end of the #challenge to say "thank you" for your #generosity of spirit. 😉
**
Thank you for helping in whatever way you can (donating or sharing) get to the goal. It's the very best gift I could ask for this year. . . the gift of dreaming big, which is what I've been able to do beyond cancer. ❤

Thank you.
