Janna Audey: 12 Month Project

Hello, dear friends and fans...and happy New Year!  I hope you continue to be blessed with good health, joy, abundance, and security, and work toward feeding the things in your life that you value/need most.

As a yoga teacher and a musician I have this platform to help and serve through the work I do.  It is a gift.  When I began the 12-month project, I had no idea what stories would be brought my way, either quite passively through a friend's Facebook post, or through direct contact and research.  I stumbled upon this story through Facebook, and the cousin of a dear friend, Tish Nordvall, and his family are in need of financial assistance simply to cover the basics while 24-year-old Shelby undergoes continued treatment for lung cancer (spread from his brain, and previous cancers, as well).  They have a goal: $4,000 in two months.  There are 53 days remaining as of today, and no amount is too small-- I noticed one donation for $7.00.  You can be anonymous in your donations if you are shy about "not giving enough". 

Please know that there is no such thing as "not giving enough".  That is a falsehood generated in our own minds.  Trust in this.  We give what we can, and when it is given from a place of love...other hearts feel it, respond, and the love then multiplies. :) 

This $4,000 is not covering their mounting medical bills.  It's simply for the basics.  So Shelby can live comfortably while he is in-home care.  Here is the link to make a secure online donation:

If you can help-- selflessly help another human being because you have an extra few dollars, it would mean the world to this family.  And if you are already strapped financially, I know what that feels like.  I've been there many times myself.  Know that there are other ways to give-- holding the door for an elderly person, listening to a friend, or smiling at a stranger are also gifts from the heart. 

I realize that every cause I post will not resonate with you.  However if even one person is touched by this story and can help, then the 20 minutes of blogging is time very well spent...

May all beings feel peace, joy and love, always.  Happy New Year!
