Starting a New Adventure: Stay Tuned


Hello everyone:

Well, I'm off on a new project, one that involves the whole family but doesn't involve lavender. (Shocking, I know.)

This school year we're trying something different. We're homeschooling the boys so that we can take off on some extended trips and do some real experiential learning. Our first trip is to South American (Machu Picchu and Patagonia) and we leave on October 19th.

This being the 21st Century, we have a website about our new adventure and we each--boys included--have blogs that we'll be updating along the way. When we're on the road we'll be blogging more often because more will be happening. Also, Robb will be posting photos and the boys will be uploading videos of our travels.

We're calling this project Kendrick World Class and our website is appropriately enough, www.kendrickworldclass.com.

Please check out the website and sign up for our updates. We'd love to stay in touch while we're making our way through this very interesting year.

But We're Still Committed to Older Ventures

As you may remember, my Seed Campaign is raising money this quarter (until Sept. 30th) for the organization that my brother and sister-in-law founded, the Pediatric Proton Foundation.

As thanks for their son Jake's recovery and to help other families who are faced with a childhood cancer, Susan and Jim's mission is to provide education and assistance to parents of children with cancer who are interested in pursuing proton therapy, the effective but relatively unknown treatment that helped Jake beat his bone cancer. The goal is to raise enough money to give grants to families so that they can afford the treatment.

Please visit their website and learn more about the foundation and proton therapy. If you know someone who has cancer (God forbid), especially a child with cancer (doubly God forbid), please refer them to the website.

Remember How The Seed Campaign Works

If you've got to buy things, why not make each dollar go farther and help the Pediatric Proton Foundation and kids like my nephew in the process? If you buy your Amazon products through my website, you can be doing good when so many people are in need (and donations are down for many non-profits.) On my home page, click on "Buy the Book," which will take you to Amazon.

Once you're at Amazon, either buy my book (smile! thanks!) or find another product to buy. Amazon will return a commission on any item purchased to the Seed Campaign. EASY!

All best wishes and many thanks--Jeannie
