What we think before we buy

I don't know about you, but when I need a haircut, I go to the same person every time. Jennifer at Le Bon Ton Salon not only does a great job, but she's also CHEAP, and she happens to be a single mom. I love knowing that I can spend a fourth of what I used to spend on my hair, get a professional cut, and invest in someone I care about--all in one appointment. It may not seem like much, but if Jennifer finds enough loyal clientele, she can make a good living doing something she enjoys, take care of herself and her son, and make lots of people like me very happy.

That's just one example of how we like to spend money. When we make purchases, we almost always go with a combination of professionalism and price. We also think in terms of our purchase being an investment into the lives of those we love.

If someone tells me that they're giving a portion of the proceeds to an organization that I believe in, I'm much more likely to spend the money--especially if I was already thinking about that particular purchase.

For example, we love Lucy Rizzo's cheesecakes. This weekend, we can purchase a cheesecake from her that will also benefit Kristi Singleton, who has joined Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and needs to raise funds for her DTS (Discipleship Training School). We love that kind of stuff.

So here's where I ask you to do the same for me . . .

Anytime you book travel, whether it's a rental car or a hotel or a flight, instead of using a major travel search engine, use my travel center, and 30% of the commissions go to me. We already support indigenous organizations in Africa, but we'd really like to increase our support in Southeast Asia with a group called Divine Inheritance. Check out Project AK-47. I love it.

And, now, for the link to . . .

I'll most likely buy a domain name and forward it, but I need something that's easy to remember. Suggestions?
