Spread the Love

I've had lots of very kind people offer to help me with any aspect of this race, and I am positive I could not have made it this far without them.

If you are local, and have a couple of seconds to give, I have created a pdf flier that can be posted anywhere!

Offices, grocery stores, gyms, athletic stores...where ever your heart desires:)

I'm getting close to crunch registration time (April), so I would love and appreciate any help you are willing to give in this area. The link is always noted above in case this post gets lost in translation, but just in case I will post a link here.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your help and support!

Love,

Jenny

Hope.

He does...

He also really likes the camera.

I opened up a couple accounts and deposited a handful of checks into a growing pot of hope yesterday.
With each push forward, the joy builds and builds.
Register today online by mail, or join us as a Spirit Runner.
Help us give away some hope to all kids like my Deak.

Good.

I am a psychologist by profession, and inadvertently by heart.

But, I am kind of unique.

Most psychologists believe strongly that a change of behavior is the predecessor to change; that once a behavior is managed, intrinsic motivation will be discovered.  In fact, most will fight tooth and nail defending this belief system.

Not me.

I believe the heart is the predecessor to change; establishing a relationship, validating feelings and providing encouragement are essential components for hope.  I believe it's hard to find the drive to change without first recognizing that one's heart also needs a strong investment of time and energy.

I'm a humanist - the last of a dying breed.

I just can't help it...

  Without fail, humankind continually shows me that when given an opportunity, its' innate nature of goodness is exposed.

This race is no exception.

I have been floored by the outpouring of love.

Good friends have offered sponsorships (Thank you Sahara Cares)...

Friends and family from out of state have continued to enter as spirit runners...

Friends I have not seen, some since Junior High, have committed to running...

Friends at work are organizing and collecting funds...

Perfect strangers have emailed me and offered their expertise on a volunteer basis...

And, the list goes on...and on...

People are good.

They just are.

And, those hearts of ours are capable of doing so much good.

Sometimes they just need to be reminded.

Thank you for sharing your hearts with me and my family.
