GoMighty.com

Go Mighty?
          What the heck is that?
                    If you're anything like me, you didn't know that this is a website which is designed for people who want to connect &/or collaborate to do something good for themselves and others.

Basically, Go Mighty helps a person, if they so desire, to create a "Life List" or "Life Goals" that they would like to accomplish or complete during their lifetime. They provide a mechanism to outline a persons goals and dreams, track their progress towards checking those items off that infamous list, challenges their personal status quo and all the while keeping the person inspired.

The awesome part? {as if this entire concept isn't awesome enough on its own}
          These personal goals can/could be funded through sponsorships, grants or donations!!!
Is that not absolutely fantastic??!!!
 
I want to introduce you to a beautifully, talented woman named Megan Peters. Among other things, Megan has a weblog {www.crazybananas.com -- and yes, she calls it a "weblog" because she's been doing it for nearly a decade!}, works in professional services marketing and is a phenomenal photographer, wife and mother.
 
As part of Megan's "Life List" on Go Mighty, she's accomplishing her goal to photograph 15 mothers by the end of January, and share a portion of their story in the effort to honor and display the essence of motherhood. The company Olay {you know, the mega company that makes facial products? haha} selected Megan's goal and decided to sponsor her, so if she completes her goal of photographing 15 mothers by the end of January, they will donate $500 to a women-focused charity of her choice!
LOVE!
So why am I telling you about all this?
My friend, Kristi Fogarty, recommended us to Megan to participate in her project.
 
Megan choose us as a "mother" candidate!
I feel so honored!!!
 
Here are some outtakes that she posted on her blog. Below you can see 4 of the 15 women photographed.
{In our picture, Jocelyn was making the choice to sing or read ... she clearly loves BOTH activities. For the final product, Megan selected a picture of us singing.}
Megan came to our house, photographed us playing and interacting, and posted the picture of her choice, along with our story, on the Go Mighty website.
 
Forewarning, she has been summarizing the women's stories to go along with the picture, but she decided to post mine in its entirety ... so its a little long.
 
{I get long winded -- I can't help it -- and its hard to put your life in a nutshell}
 
Here is the site where you can see our picture and read our "story" <-------- click here! :)
 
If you are interested, once you are on the website, you can click on the "My Goal" box that's located on the right-side of the screen and read about the other lovely ladies as well.
 
I loved participating in this special project, sharing about our lives and meeting a new friend.
 
Thank you Kristi for suggesting us to Megan, and to you Megan, you have an incredible talent and pure heart that is beautifully transparent. Thank you for selecting us to be apart of such a heart-felt, personal goal.
 
A picture of a mother with her child needs no words
 -- its speaks for itself --
and often tells the story of a relentless, true love!
