Happy Wednesday everybody!
There has been so much going on that I thought we should take Wednesdays to offer highlights and news of all the past activity within our communities of social media and social responsibility. A big thanks to everybody who has been supporting our cause up to this point.

More books are coming – New York Times best seller list here we come:
Ok I am embellishing here. But great news is we have officially past the 100 book mark in distribution either through sales or raising funds for social projects. An incredibly generous donor has made it possible for us to give the books away to our mentorship community and anybody who invests in a social project or business. 250 more books should be arriving by Friday.
Impact Kitchen – 32 lasagnas for 16 at-risk teens in transition:
As part of our continuing mission to transform communities to rescue lives, this past Sunday we had an “Impact Kitchen” where we made lasagnas for teens who are part of the transition program of a social services organization here in Calgary Alberta. These teenagers live on their own and depend on food bank donations for food as they attempt to transition out of poverty. Our own Megan Choi has been developing a relationship with the social organization and dropped off the meals yesterday. Our plan is to do more in the future by building relationships and possibly mentoring in the areas of life skills. Thanks to everyone who came out to cook! Video is coming soon.
Can Ed lose 50 lbs the healthy way?
If you haven’t noticed by now, I have made my health and wellness challenge very public in hopes to encourage our community. With the help of Katharina of Flow Evolution, I have made some pretty awesome progress. Last night I had my first real workout in several years. And I am close to being the lightest I have been weight-wise in over 10 years! In our latest video Katharina revealed my % body fat and more ugly truth! You can check out my progress in our “Health for Life” section.
Other Tidbits:
You will notice the site is going through some changes. We are cleaning up content and working towards integration with our social venture My Perfect Economy.com. We are going to be doing a big launch for our $99 Changes the World campaign for social projects and ventures around the world.
We are sending a team to Haiti to do medical clinics, feeding centres and other relief efforts in June. More news on that soon.
Megan is opening up potential projects in Burundi and Tanzania in Africa. Some really cool stuff we can do with chickens!
If you are in Calgary, please join us at our special Motivational Makeover & My Perfect Economy workshop and seminar. We have some very special guests coming. I promise it will be special. You can RSVP through Facebook. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
