A Latte

As my life grows and expands to include more information from around the world, due to my goals, I have been made more aware of the poverty that claims the lives of so many millions thoroughout our world. The effects of this extreme poverty are more vast than we here in the US even can comprehend. Our lives are insulated from this information unless we are looking for it! Agencies such as the World Food Programme, operated by the United Nations puts forth a monumental effort to deliver only grains to the third world countries in need. The efforts that are taken to assist these people have become extremely difficult facing the food shortage and the inflated cost of fuel, which is causing the need for an extra $700 million dollars more funding this year than last to deliver the same amount of food. The families this organization focuses on feed their whole familiy on less than $2.00 per day.
As we sit in our favorite coffee house sipping our pipping hot latte or fancy coffee concoction our thoughts would rarely venture down the path spoken about above. With the publication of my new book "Seed for Change" just a couple of weeks away, my mind has ventured to this place many times. I wonder if a tiny book with a lot of heart can make a difference in some way in our vast world. I know it can with the help of all of you. I have committed to donating 2% of the proceeds to The World Hunger Project. www.thp.org an amazing organization that "empowers women and men to end their own hunger." This book will be available on my website for pre-purchase June 1st. Together we always can make a difference!
