It all started a couple of weeks ago, when Dee Gordon sent me her inspiring article Jewelry Designs that Change Lives to publish on my Home Jewelry Business Success Tips site.
I discovered how Dee’s jewelry business enables other people’s dreams to come true, and I wanted to be part of her efforts.
So I purchased one of her lovely Giving Necklaces, which help fund micro-loans to entrepreneurs in underdeveloped countries.
Today I had an exciting email from Dee, updating me on what’s happening with the proceeds from my new necklace – you can read about it in Dee’s blog post about Ana from Peru.
It’s so neat to be a part of good stuff like this! Many thanks to Dee for providing this opportunity to help a fellow entrepreneur like Ana.
How can you join in this lovely flow of abundance? Here are three suggestions:
- Help spread the word by blogging, tweeting or linking to Kiva.org or to Dee’s blog post about Ana; or
- Commit a portion of your time (or jewelry business proceeds) to a cause / activity that makes a positive difference somewhere in the world; or
- Purchase one of Dee’s Giving Necklaces (which, by the way, would make a very nice gift for someone special), to help another entrepreneur in a developing country.

I commend Dee for this wonderful idea, especially in this day & age. To see someone focusing on others when she is just starting out is refreshing!
Thank you Robin, it’s always nice to have a few things in your business that you can be proud of, and being a part of this effort to alleviate poverty and change lives is proudest!
Very cool. I’m so glad that the business can change lives like that! What a wonderful and giving idea.
Thanks Melissa!
