A plunge into 2011 (and a request for help)

How did you spend January 1?

Me, I went swimming.

In a very very very cold lake.

It’s all in a good cause – to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. And before I took the plunge, I spent a moment to make the connection with doing more Great Work.

Watch this short video to hear four factors of doing Great Work – and to see me go jump in the lake.

The lines, as they say, are still open. If you’d like to throw five, ten, twenty, one hundred dollars towards the cause, I’d be most grateful. You can donate here:

Waiting for the plunge

Must. Keep. Moving.

In. And out again as fast as I can.

I'm alive!
