Moxie means: Taking control over your life! November 27, 2009
Posted by michellewillow in moxie discussions. 3 commentsThis is relatively old story (from last summer) but it still can be shared with many as an inspiration… What to do when you get fired due to bad economy and you have real threat to loose head over your head? Whining? Well, not this lady. She thought of the way to turn her hobby into a project – making 500 hats to save her home! And she made it!
She’s really moxie lady and we can all learn from her how determination and taking control over our destiny can change our lives. Read the story: 500 Hats!
Moxie means talk about taboo… November 12, 2009
Posted by michellewillow in moxie discussions. 4 commentsWe all have to speak up sometimes. And some subjects we decide to speak about are simply too important and need to be shared with others. I was lucky enough to stumble on a page about a problem I wasn’t aware of. But this really changed my perspective about what happens to foster children. Now, I’m not saying this happens too often. Have no proof of that. But these sad stories should have never happened. You should read: Drugging Foster Children. And, thank you, Linda for spreading the info about this problem. You have moxie to talk about taboo.

Squidoo.com has Moxie Attitude! November 7, 2009
Posted by michellewillow in moxie discussions. 3 commentsNow, why would I say that a site – Squidoo.com has a moxie attitude? Because of many reasons but for this post, primary reason is a new charity action Squidoo threw and is active during this month!
In recession time, when all of us is looking for every penny we can spare, companies are laying people off in hundreds and many closing their doors…. Squidoo.com is giving away $1.000 daily! From Nov.2nd to Nov.26th, one lens (page) will win $1,000 for a charity of the choosing of the person who created it! And then, on Nov.26th, all the lenses created for this purpose during this month, will be voted and the winning lens will help donate $5,000 to charity!
You can learn more about this charity action here: The Official Squidoo Thanksgiving Cookoff (for Charity). And, why not make one yourself and help donate money to those who need it? You can, too, make a difference!
