Every year I set out to do more, give more and learn more. I don’t necessary call my goals resolutions but they certainly are important and worthy of completing. For 2015, I am making my goals list and some of them will be called resolutions. One big resolution for me is to give more. I am big on giving and I love the way it makes me feel. Our family started focused acts of charity with some of our children in an effort to include them in our works and teach valuable life lessons along the way. I’m excited about doing good deeds in 2015 and being a part of the #DeedADay movement is just what I need to jump start my year of giving. My goal is to wear my bracelet and do a deed a day. Join me! Imagine if we all did a good deed a day, what a better place the world would be. Doing a #DeedADay also gives you something to be grateful for. It is an all around win.
Together we’re changing the world, one deed, one bead, one act of kindness at a time. The 1GD bracelet gives us 100 changes to be grateful. Now just think about it, there are 365 days in a year. Surely you can find 100 of those days to do something good for someone else. Join the #DeedADay movement with me. Not only will you feel rewarded in giving, you will also be a blessing to someone else and you will be helping women in countries such as Uganda, India, Indonesia, Zambia, South Africa, Rwanda, and Haiti. This project gives a women a way to support their families through earnings, while empowering them to also contribute to good deeds around the world. Join the initiative. Remember to go out of your way for someone else and do it anonymously. Each time you do an anonymous good deed, move the ring on the bracelet closer to the button.
The bracelets are designed by Mary Fisher, author, artist and AIDS advocate. The 100 Good Deeds bracelet is both a fashion statement and a cause. This non-profit provides economic and educational opportunities to women and girls across Africa and elsewhere. Proceeds from the 1GD bracelets are reinvested in the program to provide more women and girls with more training in more countries. How awesome is this? I love when a fashion statement represents a worthy cause.
So are you in for 100 Good Deeds? Learn more about the Bracelet and the project here. Share a picture of the bracelets with #DeedADay to join in.

January 5, 2015 at 2:33 PMThis is such a great idea! There’s so much craziness going on right now and so much animosity being perpetuated. Perhaps if we all started doing something like this, we could heal some of the hurts that have come lately.
