"A feeling doesn't feed a hungry person. We need to turn our feelings into action." -Grace Jones
Each day we have a choice to make: who do we want to be. I don't always have the answer to that question, but there's one thing that always reigns true for me and it's this: I want to be good. I want to do good things. I want to touch lives. I want to leave people and places better than I found them.
I know we all hate being asked to donate. There are so many pressing issues in the world that it feels impossible to solve them all. I'm totally in tune with that. But I have one goal in mind - I want to bring everyone in my social media together. I have 1583 Facebook friends. If each of them gave $1, including myself, we would raise $1584 for Feeding America this holiday season. Did I mention that equals 15,840 meals for hungry Americans? $1 isn't very much when we think about how much money we'll spend this Christmas. I believe that this goal is attainable. I also believe we can do more.
That's why I'm blogging. My online presence ins't confined to Facebook, so why should the scope of these $1 donations be? If I can reach my readers and my readers can reach their Facebook friends, the possibilities here are endless.
Maybe I'm being a bit idealistic. Maybe I'm not. There's one thing I know for sure - not trying won't help. So, here I am. I'm asking for $1. Then I'm asking you to share this page everywhere you possibly can. And if you don't have $1, I'm asking for your support. Your thoughts, your encouragement, and your sharing of this worthy cause.
We are all capable of making a difference.

After you make your donation, I encourage you to spend some time checking out the resources on Feeding America's website. Some of the stories have brought me to tears and learning about the impact of hunger has been truly enlightening.
