epic august

The word “epic” has become very trendy and overused these days to describe anything and everything big time and cool. I’ll have to jump on the epic bandwagon here like everybody else, because I’m quite sure my August is going to be epic and them some. Here’s what this month has in store for Blue Lollipop Road and I:

*Major road trip action~ Chicago to Wisconsin to Vermont to Upstate, NY Finger Lakes to Toronto to Washington DC to Virginia

*A 34th birthday

*BLR PLay It Forward Event

I always end up doing some kind of fun adventure each year this month because It’s summertime and my birthday time.. This August though, I’m by far more thrilled about and anticipating than any other. It might be something about a bunch of great road trip time, feeling happier healthier, and more balanced as I get older, and hosting an event that means everything in the world to me. Yeah…that.

Here’s to august 2012 and living life like you mean it!

just so thankful

Where do I begin with the thank you’s?

On a daily basis I am thankful for lots of things: Friends, family, adventure, cheese, chocolate, glitter, etc. and all the minutes I have to enjoy these things- but since starting to plan BLR Play It Forward, I’m even more thankful that usual. Individuals and organizations galore have stepped up to volunteer their time, services, networks and other to help me make this dream a reality.

There will be a gazillion more thanks moving forward, but for today I would like to thank:

*Kate Emma Adams Schlosser and Traci Molloy for being amazing friends and partners in planning crime.

*Bobby Holliday of Eclectic Graphics, for being so incredible generous with time and skill to rebuild the BLR site once again.

*WBTN Radio 1370AM Radio and David Lively for my interview this morning. (Another interview in studio will take place Thursday 8/16 at 8:30am so mark your calendars and tune in!)

*The Town of Shaftsbury, VT for donating the use of Howard Park Facilities to us for the Strong Mojo Summit and Alumni Soccer Game 8/18.

*Tracy Bushee Designs for her awesome logo and poster creations for our event.

*Clear Brook Farm for donation of fresh delicious organic foods we will get to nosh on event weekend.

*Adam Wilson Photography for his volunteered services to capture all the special moments we will have 8/17 and 8/18.

*Mike Cutler for coordinating videographers and CATTV to document our day 8/18.

*The alumni who have sent in registrations to help fund the Blue Lollipop Road Memorial Scholarship.

*The families of Maria Greene and Brandy Brown who have been so thankful and supportive of us honoring their daughters who meant (and still mean)- so much to us.

I’m so happy and so thankful I just could not type enough thanks. There will be many more. Until then, if you all only knew the beginning of what this means to me.

23 days until a most special weekend is here.

donation received!

Donation just in this morning…

Thank you to Amy! Happy Friday to Blue Lollipop Road!

Other news in this morning from our friend and web guy extraordinaire Bobby- looks like our brand new site will be up and running this weekend! Our plates have been full with event planning, and we’ve added some new and exciting goods to the site, so things have taken longer than expected. Good things come to those who wait, so thanks for waiting patiently 🙂

We will be kicking off an official fundraising campaign, as well as announcing a very special surprise from one of the participating alumni when the site launches, so stay tuned!

photographer for blr play it forward

We are very excited to share that Adam Wilson will be our photographer for 8/18/12 weekend!

Adam happily jumped right in to volunteer to work with us and we didn’t even have to ask. We’re so thankful to the people and companies who’re donating time and services to our event. BLR Play It Forward and the Blue Lollipop Road Memorial Scholarship is all possible because a lot of generously gifted time from volunteers, paid registrations from alumni, and services/monetary donations from all of you out there. This all continues to prove to us that when you do work that matters, people really do want to jump in and help. That is a very powerful and motivating thing!

Thank you Adam! We are looking forward to working with you.

…we’ll be back with many more thanks soon…
