Melani Ward is doing a very cool series on her blog where she reads interprets the charts of entrepreneurs, and I told her I was dying to know what she discovered about me! I have actually worked with Melani before to receive her brilliant insights on marketing/business/sales but I hadn’t had a chance to experience her as a numerologist, I think it’s very cool how she blends the two!

She and Lisa Manyon are launching a new program soon called Juice Your Biz that I HIGHLY recommend you check out, especially if you have been struggling with how to make your business succeed.

P.S. When Melani talks about my birth name versus my current name, she just means that I don’t use my middle name (Kathryn) in my day-to-day life.

Edited at 3 PST, March 26th with some VERY exciting news – a Dolly Parton signed guitar has been added!

Dolly Parton autographed guitar to be awarded to donor by Girls Rock Camp Austin

Dolly Parton signed a guitar for Girls Rock Camp Austin, a nonprofit
organization in Austin, Texas.  The organization is currently
embroiled in a celebrity challenge called the “Social Media Smackdown
for Charity.”  Brea Grant, best know for her roles on Friday Night
Lights, Heroes, and the upcoming Halloween 2, is blogging, along with
a team of web-savvy ladies, to raise money for them.

The camp has decided to award the first donor of at least $5000 their
Dolly Parton autographed guitar.  The Social Media Charity Smackdown
ends on March 26, 2009.  Donations can be made through Paypal on Team
Brea’s site at this address:
http://charitysmackdown.com/team_brea.html.

“Do you know what $5,000 would do for GRCA?  It would send FOURTEEN
girls to camp who might not otherwise be able to afford it,” says
Emily Marks, Director of Girls Rock Camp Austin.  “We have an
extensive scholarship program and we believe strongly that girls
should have equal opportunities regardless of background, ability or
what’s in their parent’s bank account.”

Girls Rock Camp Austin (GRCA) provides a positive, all-female
environment that offers musical instruction as well as a variety of
workshops and performances.  GRCA fosters leadership, community,
social change, and life skills for girls of all means and abilities.

This just in! The highest donor to Girls Rock Camp Austin via the Charity Smackdown (minimum $500) will win:

Wilco Drum Head signed by all the members of Wilco and a pair of drum sticks.
Don’t forget that plenty of girls rock camp karma will also be included in the package!

You only have until TOMORROW, MARCH 26TH to put in your bid for this awesome prize.

Your donation helps a very important cause – empowering girls by teaching them how to rock like wilco!
