29-Day Giving Challenge

Today I'll complete reviewing and enhancing a few hundred more photos and delivering all the photos and musical assets to a web designer here and researching a few other things for Anna+Kossi including a great site template and Pay Pal so that these talented artists can begin deriving income from their music and images.

When I first heard their wonderful music about two weeks ago and discovered they had never sold a CD themselves or collected e-mail addresses of fans, I knew they needed help and volunteered to work with them to assemble all their musical and photo assets they had carried around for years. I also donated time to create a CD cover and name (Kosana) for their first CD sampler which inspired them to create a second (The Goddess Codes). Both will be offered for the first time this weekend at their bon-voyage party. Between their CD's which they will be able to sell direct, musical downloads and Anna's great photos at their site, many new listeners will hear and hopefully download tracks and whole CD's, a new source of income will be created, and their self-esteem and happiness may take a quantum leap.

I am delighted to be in a position to use my intelligence and creativity in the service of two talented artists, Anna & Kossi Gardner.

Jeff, you did ALL this in 2 weeks?!?!? That's amazing. It reminds me of the wonderful movie, "Once". Such generosity and a meeting of kindred spirits.
