The plan!

drum roll please
..........

Here is the plan for the blog for the year.... I know it is a lot to handle all at once, so I will keep it simple. ;-)

~ I will post every day, barring illnesses and unforeseen emergencies. And if I miss a post because I was busy, lazy, forgetful, or out having fun - a girl can dream - then I have to donate an additional $20 to make up for it. That is the most important rule for the year.

The Format

• Every weekday, I will highlight and donate a dollar to an organization. Going back to the original idea of even a dollar a day helping change the world and how we can all afford to help others. 
• I will also do my best to find new charities and to expand my knowledge of issues around the globe.
• Saturdays will be a day for reflective posts and other fun items I come across. 
• On these days I will share other ideas on how to make the world a better place, inspirational quotes, or whatever catches my eye.
• And Sunday will be a day for people to write comments with suggestions for organizations or focuses.
• For example, I really enjoyed the weeks that had themes to them. In February I want to celebrate Black History Month by highlighting organizations like Color of Change who work on issues of racism in our society.
• What I ask from my readers is that whenever they hear of a good charity or an anniversary/holiday which I could focus on, like International Women's Day, they will leave me a comment on Sunday.
• And if no one leaves comments with ideas and suggestions on events and organizations, then you are not allowed to complain about the organizations I do feature.

That is the current setup for the blog for 2011, there might be changes and modifications along the way, so don't get too attached to them. ;-)

And as always, go ahead and leave a comment if you have any ideas you want to share with me.
