Television Possibly?
August 25, 2008
I was contacted by Aurea McGarry who hosts her own TV talk show in the Atlanta area. She features people who are either founders of non-profit organizations or huge volunteers for one. It airs on the famous ION station (formerly PAX) which is in over 2 million households around Atlanta and north Georgia up to Chattanooga, TN. It’s called “Live Your Legacy with Aurea McGarry!” Check out her website at http://www.liveyourlegacy.biz.
After a wonderful conversation, Aurea stated that she is interested in having me on as a guest. She thought it may be some time between now and the first of the year. I’ll keep you posted. Aurea is also a cancer survivor. A pink scarf is on it’s way!

Article in Women’s World Magazine
August 9, 2008
Women’s World magazine wrote a story about my pink scarves in their July 28th issue.
The response from the story has been overwhelming! There have been women from all over the United States and Canada who have volunteered to knit/crochet scarves, start chapters in their area, and provide donations.
I’m thrilled to know that there so many wonderful women who are willing to volunteer and who want to be part of this amazing project. Thank you. Your time and talent are greatly appreciated!
Martha Stewart Living’s Dreamers Into Doers Contest
July 15, 2008
A knitting friend of mine called and suggested that I enter Martha Stewart Living’s Dreamers Into Doers Contest. The contest was for women who have turned an idea or dream into a successful reality. Entrants submit an original essay describing an existing successful business venture or an organization the Nominee was instrumental in starting that benefits a local community. So I entered Hands to Hearts, Inc. and shared information about my project.
There will be one Grand Prize Winner and ten Finalists from the pool of Nominees and will be notified on or about August 11, 2008.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed……
