Happy Thursday.

Ali - your fundraising efforts for Autism Speaks is so appreciated! I am going to put the word out regarding this 6 Degrees badge to my fellow special needs mommies. Hopefully we can get back that number to 300!
Have a great time in Savannah! One of my favorite places!
Blessings!
Sally

Be Safe and have a great weekend!

Ali, I donated to our local branch here in Ontario. :)

Enjoy yourself out there this weekend. And I think 300 is a great goal. I definitely think we should be in the #1 spot! I'll forward the badge to as many more people as I can think of.

enjoy savannah....it is one of myfav. cities (that and Charleston)

I'm so glad to hear you're still at the top of the 6 Degrees campaign. We need to get you back up to number one, though! Thanks for the update.
Rumor has it (on 2peas) that you're going to stop teaching except for at CKU. Is that true? If so, is it just for a certain amount of time or indefinite? I remember a while back you said something about your responsibilities changing with CK. Is that something you can share with us?

Hey Ali,
I am in Australia and couldnt donate either. I KNOW you are super busy but. I was wondering. Is there a paypal account that we can dontate to..and then have someone (an American) make the payments on our behalf so that we can still dontate..but the donations count towards the badge?

wish i could be in georgia too. i
bet your presentation is amazing,
inspiring, fun... i'd love to see and
hear it. the folks in the sudience are
very lucky. enjoy the warmth.

LOVE Savannah!!! great photo ops....get out and walk the old park blocks....have a great time!

Your so right about the weather...it's a blizzard here in MN.
I heard on the weather that Savannah and other parts of southeast is getting hit with bad weather and even some parts tornados.
Nasty! Stay safe!

Glad you made it safely to Savannah! Hope it's nice and warm there. Will you be dining at Paula Deen's restaurant? I just love her show. Take care and enjoy your classes.

See if you can make it to the Sentient Bean coffee shop while you're there! They have a wonderful little courtyard out back and the yummiest food.

I hope you are alright after the terrible storms last night in Georgia. Look forward to your post to make sure you are safe and sound!

I donated because I believe in you and the good that you are doing. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me on a daily basis. You will get your 300 because you asked for it. We just have to be open to the goodness that is all around us. Thank you for all that you give so freely to aspiring life artists. You are making a difference and changing lives!

Try to see if you can get in to The Lady and Sons to eat. Paula Deen, from Food Network's show Paula's Home Cooking. owns that restaurant along with Uncle Bubba's Oyster House.

Enjoy Savannah. It is really one of the most beautiful cities, and such a wonderful place!

Glad that you made it there safe before all of the storms. Crazy weather...

My daughter is named Savannah! We had to move from NC to FL when she was 12 days old. So of course we stayed overnight in Savannah, GA to break up the drive. It is just a beautiful place but we haven't been able to go back since then, almost 4 years now. I look forward to seeing any pictures you share with us!
Enjoy!

Ali!!!! That is so great that you are number 2 in number of donations made! I hope you make it to number 1!!! You have had more people donate than Kevin Bacon himself! Keep up the great work!

totally unrelated to the post -- but I thought this might interest you .. I found it today while browsing articles about happiness and $$. reminded me of your gratitude post. ...

LOVE SAVANNAH!! If you get a chance grab a carriage ride.

Ali, thanks so much for your pursuit of good and for helping Autism Speaks. My son is not autistic, but is in therapy for speech delay (verbal and oral apraxia). He has benefited from efforts like yours in an indirect way. For that, I am so, so grateful. And, every time I see the badge and the numbers growing, tears and love well up inside.
Thanks to everyone else, too.

hope you are enjoying your time in georgia.

cheers to you for all that you are doing!

Ali,
You inspired me to add a six degrees badge to my site and in 2 days I got 6 donations totalling $200 for Cure Autism Now. I am proud to be a part of such a great social experiment and my thanks to you for spreading the word!
