So I have decided on a foundation, its called Alex's Lemonade Stand. It was started by Alex, a little girl fighting cancer. She decided to raise money for her doctors to research pediatric cancers through a simple cup of lemonade. To date her foundation has raised 16 million dollars and more importantly has caught the imagination and involvement of thousands of people from children to grown-up kids. I think this is a perfect fit for the simple fundraising I envision. Alex died peacefully at age 8, lets help doctors find a cure for pediatric cancers.
Plan:
compile a list of bakeable goods.
Compile a list of possible clients(or as I like to think of them fellow Meaningful life searchers.)
Find a tribe: a group of people willing to either support me through kind words(thanks Vickie), love and hard work(making all those cookies)
Breath and love
My Aunt sent me a link to her plan to create a Mediation practice. In it she speaks about her five point business plan that includes
1) Be conscious;
2) Be teachable;
3) Be of service;
4) Always say “yes” to a mediation request; and,
5) Be the exception to the rule.
Read more about how she explains each of these at her blog.
