I don’t know about you, but I know I over did it this year with a little too much holiday cheer. With New Years resolutions abounding about giving up sugar, flour and all things decadent I thought this would be the perfect time to share this amazing story about a Hollywood producer who took skipping it to a whole different level.

Her name is Shelene Bryan and she was a producer, a mom and someone with a big heart.  Today, she is still a mom but her newest title is founder of a non-profit called Skip1.Org.

It is people like Shelene that are my heros. Everyday people just like you and me, who have a passion and use it to create change in such simple ways. So when you decide what you are going to give up this New Year, perhaps, rather than giving something up, you can simply Skip1. Nothing feels better than giving something up and giving to someone else at the same time. Simple Charity Matters.
