For a few moments, I’m going to turn my attention away from affiliate marketing and towards something I find just as interesting and certainly more important.

The people who know me the best know that two of the things I appreciate most in this world are boobies. There, I said it.

I want to encourage you to do what you can to help save the boobies.

On a more serious note, most people know someone who’s life was tragically impacted by breast cancer. This is your chance to help promote the 7th Annual Blogger Boobie-Thon to raise funds for breast cancer research and to show your appreciation for boobies everywhere.

This fundraising drive ends at midnight on October 7, 2008, and they have a goal of raising $10,000. With one day left, they need to raise about $2,000 more to reach their goal.

Please do what you can to help.

MyCommitment.org – Pledge to make a difference

President Clinton recently announced MyCommitment.org and urges you to pledge to make a difference. Make a commitment to change something – big or small – and connect with others who share your vision for change.

I have been inspired by all the things President Clinton and Vice-President Gore have been doing to help our world after they left office and I am happy to pass along the word about the latest iniative of the Clinton Global Iniative, a project of the Clinton Foundation.

From the MyCommitment.org About page:

MyCommitment.org seeks to:

* Inspire Change. Provide information highlighting some of the world’s biggest challenges, raise awareness and motivate others to take action.

* Build Community. Connect people with others who share the same vision for change and help them create networks to put plans into motion.

* Facilitate Action. Offer tools for visitors to make commitments to act and track their progress and results.

* Strengthen Engagement. Encourage citizen action around America and throughout the world.

MyCommitment.org builds on the success of the Clinton Global Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation, which has already inspired more than 600 commitments to action from some of the world’s top thinkers and government and business leaders. Learn more about CGI member commitments.

Launched in 2007, MyCommitment.org reflects President Clinton’s dedication to promoting citizen service. Throughout his life, President Clinton has met inspiring individuals and organizations taking innovative and unique approaches to solving some of the world’s biggest challenges. These encounters also led him to write his second book, GIVING: How Each of Us Can Change the World, which was released in September 2007.

What will you do to help make the world a better place?

Act on your dream!
