Please consider supporting the inspiring Carol Schillios as she camps on the roof of her shop, Fabric of Life, in Edmonds WA. From her blog:
Eleanore Roosevelt said “Do one thing every day that scares you.” I believe in what can happen when we step out of the shadow of our fears. I’m 57 years old. That in itself is scary. I’ve never blogged before. Even scarier. I thought blogs only existed on the moors of Scotland. It’s scary to “reveal” your inner self in public. Yet here I am. I’ve decided to follow Eleanore Roosevelt’s advice.
The idea to live on the roof of my Foundation’s fair trade store literally popped into my head one day last May. I’m often described as “crazy” when I’m introduced. Personally, I think of myself as “bold” or “gutsy”, both of which require a bit of crazy, don’t you agree?
So this is my chronicle of being UP ON THE ROOF. I have no idea how long I will live in this tent. I’m not coming down until I come down. If that statement makes sense to you then you probably understand me a little bit. I hope you’ll learn as much about yourself from this journey as I am about to learn about myself.
Carol is now UP ON THE ROOF!

She's indeed living in a tent until
1 million people tell her what they're doing to change their world and send $1.00 to
Fabric of Life Foundation
a 501(c)3 nonprofit
Hello dear friends!
Yes, you read that right....I'm now living in a tent on the roof of our Foundation's non-profit fair trade boutique in downtown Edmonds, WA untilONE MILLION PEOPLE each send me $1.00
AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT....when you send a dollar, tell me what you're doing to make your world a better place. "YOUR WORLD" might be within yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your community, your state, another country -- whatever "world" you choose.
It's easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of issues we face. We find ourselves thinking "what impact can one person possibly have?"
So I've decided to "shout from the roof top" how people are making a world of difference. One person. One action. One dollar at a time.
I've choosen to live in a tent to bring attention to the issues and celebrate the good being done in our own communities and around the world. Send your dollar and I'll "shout from the roof" what you're doing to make this world a better place.
And EVERY DOLLAR goes to the 501(c)3 Fabric of Life Foundation for programs that support women, children and their communities both in developing countries and right here in the U.S.
