I never anticipated that setting a goal to give would be so much more effective than setting a goal to earn. Keeping an impulsive promise to cover a big  expense for my grandmother has rewarded me in unforeseen ways. It has made me more determined and creative.  It has inspired me to negotiate more lucrative work, boosting my career, productivity and prosperity.  It has brought me closer to my grandmother and also to other family members who help me keep my promise.

Grandpa never anticipated the steep decline in the stock market when he planned for Grandma to outlive him, nor for the rising life expectancy of nonagenarians.  Now Grandma’s prospects for years of continuing health look bright.  The chance that her capital will last more than a couple of years looks dim.

 Grandma never anticipated depending on her family and friends.  I shudder to think how often it crosses her mind that she would rather die than ask for help. She has not anticipated the power of today’s technology to make it easy to reach our huge network of loved ones.  With a single click we can each give whatever amount we can comfortably afford.  My new goal is to raise $9801. for her 98^th birthday.  I want to brighten her prospects of long life with a little financial cushion.  Would you be willing to chip in on a one-time, occasional or continuing basis?  Please go see the widgit below. I look forward to connecting with you in this meaningful way and sharing updates on this project. 

Wear loose clothing… and, ideally, come on a light stomach– avoiding eating at least one hour prior to class. For your own safety, and those around you, refrain from intoxicants and alcohol consumption prior to practicing yoga.

Classes are all back to original scheduling.
