gosh. taking a break sure can make you lazy!
so can being sick...i'm not quite full blown sick yet, so fingers crossed that my body fights this off.
anyway, hi!
how are you?
i've missed you!
i've been thinking of all kinds of ways that i can change things around here so that i feel more inspired.
one of the things i came up with has to do with sponsors - i considered throwing the whole sponsor thing out entirely, but then i thought of something much better.
i decided that i am going to start donating 50% of sponsor fees to charity:
25% is going to UNICEF
and
a little here in the states and a little abroad.
if you're interested in sponsoring an experiment in poverty, along with these incredible organizations, shoot me an email, and we'll get you all set up - jasmine.lael@gmai.com
someone sent me this quote a few months ago:
"if your spirit is broken, if your ability to dream is missing, then you truly are in poverty."
it's so true.
the original intent of this blog was to keep me from truly entering a state of poverty. and it has helped me soooo much. all of you have helped me so much. and now i would like to help other people in a bigger way. people who are in situations that i've never even come close to experiencing.
thank you to each and everyone one of you who reads this blog. by reading, you give me the opportunity to participate in something much bigger than myself. and for that, i am grateful.

I love this idea, Jasmine. It feels like the right thing to do.
BTW, I hope you are feeling better... I'm feeling a little ruffled after the mess that was my NYFW schedule.
Obviously, I loved the shows. But I hated what it did for my sleep cycle!

I think using your blog to donate to your favorite charities is a fabulous, wonderful, fantastic idea!
Jasmine!
What a lovely thing you're doing here! Really, I think it's amazing. I would love to continue sponsoring AEiP so that I can help with your causes!
Oh this makes my heart so happy!
I too have been thinking about priorities and inspiration and who/what I want to impact. Thanks for being such an incredible example.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
