Partying With a Purpose - Life Unchained DELAWARE

Greetings Friends and Family!

I am writing this letter to invite you to become personally involved in an amazing opportunity for volunteerism, activism, and social networking. Over the last few weeks, I have been introduced to a nonprofit organization call Life Unchained. Life Unchained is a social / service 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in southeastern Pennsylvania that starts unique, first-time projects in the community. Life Unchained is looking to expand into Delaware and I have applied to take on the project.

Life Unchained provides funding and resources for local chapters to sponsor social events to raise money for charitable causes. For example, members can sponsor car washes and bar nights to support a middle school softball time. The organization firmly believes in "partying with a purpose". I found this as an amazing opportunity to for anyone college-age and older to remain socially active while participating in volunteerism and other charity work.

In order to get this chapter off the ground and functioning, I need volunteers to work in the planning and organizing of social and volunteer events. The chapter can easily attach itself to other organizations that are already working on projects or projects that the organization would like to start on their own. I have contacted you all especially, because I believe that you would be great people to be involved in this project. Any and all forms of support would be greatly appreciated.

I am planning an information session to be held in Newark before the end of the month. If you are interested in working with this chapter of Life Unchained or would just like to find out more information PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP (via email, phone, text, IM, smoke signal, whatever is easiest). I need people who are interested in being active members, social event coordinators, volunteer coordinators, and various other leadership roles.

For more information about the organization, please visit http://www.lifeunchained.org/.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this email and I hope that you are able to support this endeavor of engaging our community in "partying with a purpose"!

Lemonade Diet Day 2

Today was not as easy as the first day. I meant for this to be more of a spiritual journey. In my preparation, I prepared mentally, physically, and spirtitually. I believe I will make it through. It is helpful to be kept busy while at work to prevent my mind from drifting away to food. Amazingly enough, I don't really ever feel "hungry" but I do feel like I WANT TO EAT, not NEED TO EAT....I have a bit of headache this morning, and I havent been drinking the teas at night. My justification for this is that I often drink the last part of my lemonade near bedtime and I just don't feel like drinking anything else! Hopefully I will get to it tonight, since I premade my tea and all I will have to do is drink it. The first two days I used Organic Maple Syrup B but that is way more expensive than the molasses so I went to Newark Natural Foods (shoutout) and got a gallon of molasses syrup, so I will have to do this again! Now for that morning internal salt water bath....

Lemonade Diet Day 1

Ladies and gentleman....

for those of you who do not know, today is the first day on my detox journey. I have amassed all the necessary materials for my detox and am patiently awaiting to inherit my Beyonce body....

well, maybe not.

The purpose of the diet is to detox, which I could surely use after 9 months of alcohol, $.35 wings, spinach dip, and happy hour foods.

But most importantly, I just finished one of the roughest semesters of adult life and the stress and all the bullship that has happened this far in 2009 has surely built a muddy bank against the walls of my colon.

So far....

SO GOOD.
