DONATE NOW! SANDY SURVIVORS NEED YOUR HELP.

Happy 4th of July!!!

The last few days have been a whirlwind. The most amazing things have been happening.

I didn't post Friday because I was busy getting a job!!!

Yup, you are looking at the Director of Corporate Communications for Charideem, Inc., an online startup company that brings together corporate sponsors, charities & non-profits, and the public.

There are so many layers to what they're doing but the primary goal is to provide savings through donations and to act as a social networking platform so people can connect and share their do-gooding.

In the vein of Groupon and Living Social for example, they'll have special offers donated by socially responsible corporations and retailers that will then be offered to consumers at a discounted rate.

The major difference though is that 75% of the proceeds will go directly to charity!

So the consumers get a great incentive, the corporate sponsors get business and positive exposure, and the charities get to continue their missions and make positive change possible.

It's truly a win-win for all and I'm so proud, honored and psyched to be part of it. It's been so awesome to get in on the ground level and know I'm really having an impact.

It's so new the web site isn't fully functioning yet. We're going to look at office space this week.

So what will I be doing? Well, a lot from what I understand. Firstly, I'm responsible for all the copy content...blog, website, marketing campaigns, social media, press releases, etc.

I'm also the point person for publicity at the moment, which is so weird considering I have zero experience in that department.

Their attitude is...run with it! You're the right person for the job so we're not worried about anything else.

Sweet!

They've allowed me a ton of creative freedom along with all the responsibility. It's been a collaborative environment so far and I have so many ideas to help move it forward. I've never been so inspired by a job in my life.

The best part is that I know I manifested this for myself. I could've never imagined this specific job or doing something corporate.

I did know I wanted to be paid well to do what I love and that I centered my intentions, language and action around that.

And I also wanted the work to be meaningful. I wanted a way to help people and now my job is directly related to that.

Take a look at my posts from just a few weeks ago...it's almost scary how what I wrote is exactly what I got. Amazing.

Decisions, decisions: part I
Decisions, decisions: Part II

Hmm, next I'll take that gorgeous, hilarious, one-in-a-million man who falls madly in love with me....any day now.

Safe and Happy 4th!
xoxo
