my 2011 GOAL is to donate to Feed My Starving Children by giving up the unnecessary luxuries in my life. Example, going out to eat less, less Starbucks, and less everything else. Every time I would have purchased something I don't really need, I'll give that money instead. And doing this blog will really help to hold me accountable. $1 donated to FeedMyStarvingChildren=4 meals (3.917 to be exact)

$6.50
no Jimmy Johns, no Starbucks, and not much food at lunch. I worked through lunch.
I've got to include something more inspirational soon. But I've been so busy I haven't had time. Sorry to the few of you who check this. :) Ah, and I need to add up the money again soon!

no Jimmy Johns, but I did do Starbucks. Yep, I'm going downhill. What's my excuse, you ask. Work has been very busy this week, and it's so relaxing to go to Starbucks. I did work there though, doing sketches for a new cover, but that was relaxing too. So, maybe it's not as bad that I went, since it was work hours. No, that just sounds like a bad excuse.

no Jimmy Johns or Starbucks. It was another close call, I so wanted Starbucks today!
Dean and I will be starting a "Radical" book club at work. Even though I've read it once, reading it again will help keep me inspired to keep giving up unnecessary things.

TOTAL $301 = 1179 meals to FeedMyStarvingChildren
I figured it was time to add it up again. It's amazing how far so little goes.
And it's sad how hard it can be to give up a small luxury like coffee, extra clothes, and new toys that Jonas doesn't need because he has plenty of hand me downs. It's best just to avoid going out to places like ToysRus and the mall unless absolutely necessary. If I don't see these things, I don't want them.
