I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!!

It's 2015. Can you believe it?  Another year gone.  So what was your best adventure of 2014?  Anything stick out to you?  I have a couple highlights of the year , but most of it went by in a blur. Week by week, helping with homework, driving to sports practices, cleaning the house, holiday after holiday, making dinner, cleaning up after dinner, and the laundry, need I say more. Most of my year just flew by, It feels like I just blinked and it was over. 

I don't want that to happen again. Oh yes, I know I will still have homework, sports, cleaning etc, but I don't want to end 2015 wondering what difference did I make, if any at all.  On our  GiveSendGo facebook page we recently posted a picture we found, this image got the most views/ likes/ shares we have had in a while, What did it say? 

 So I am thinking you might be feeling the same way. 

So what are we going to do about it? We are going to dare you to make a great story this year. To step out each week and put yourself in the place of having an adventure. Sound scary?... it does, but we will be doing it right along side of you. We will be asking you to join us in a challenge each week then come back and let us know how your story went.  At the end of the year you will have 52 stories that will have changed your life and hopefully the lives of the people around you. 

Post your  weekly story on our fb page https://www.facebook.com/Givesendgo or come back to our blog and write it in a comment. Encourage others to do the same.  If you miss a week or don't catch this post for a few week , no worries, just jump in where you are. 

So here we go. 

Week 1 GSG Challenge: January 4-10   

This week starts at home. Each day this week pick one person that is in your family. Have a face to face conversation (if possible) or phone call,  of how much they mean to you and what you appreciate about them. Now there are easy people on your list - and I say definitely speak words of life and love to the 'easy to love ' family in your life. But,  also step out pick the person you might not have the best relationship with, or maybe just someone you aren't normally that "affectionate" with, the person that will be slightly more uncomfortable, and encourage and love on them.  Can you do it?  

I double dog dare you!
