Today is the last day of The 40 Day Fast over at InspiredToAction.com.  These logos represent all the organizations talked about.  

It’s been a pretty amazing thing to see so many different organizations represented in such amazing ways.  To me the most amazing part of watching this thing happen, for the second year in a row, is to see so many people working with so many different causes.  

There is a massive need in this world, and it’s great to see the competition for the “best charity” disappear, and everyone involved work together for something bigger than themselves. 

Today over at InspiredToAction.com everyone has the opportunity to participate in adding to the day by posting about something big or small that you personally are doing to help change the world.  Write something on your blog and then head over there to participate.  

For those of you here that read, what post inspired you the most?

Last year Kristin and I were able to participate with a group of other bloggers in an event that, what I can only imagine, has made a difference in the lives of everyone involved as well as hundreds of people around the world.  The brain-child of Kat, the ”40 Day Fast” has gotten a lot of attention around the internet and even became the origin of a great site call “Inspired To Action“, of which Kristin is a writer and editor for.

Here’s how it works.  For 40 days, a different blogger fasts and writes about a specific organization or part of the world that is dear to them and they feel needs to be recognized.  Each day a new organization that is making a difference in the world is featured and supported.  As readers we are encouraged to link to each blogger fasting and help get the word out.  It’s a pretty amazing thing to watch happen over the span of the 40 days.

Registration is open today, so if you are even the slightest bit interested go to InspiredToAction.com and register to be one of the 40.  Seriously check it out.  It’s a pretty amazing thing to get involved in and it makes all this blogging stuff worth it.

Go here for all the info.

I know this is a little different “Positive Post Tuesday” but, I think what Kat, Kristin, Euphrony and Amy are doing is a pretty amazing thing and they can use all the support that we can give them.  Who’s with me?

Welcome to Tuesday again. For those of you just showing up here’s how it works. It’s pretty simple. (1) Write something nice about someone, building them up, encouraging them, you know.. being nice. (2) Fill out the box below. Have fun.
