Welcome to Be the
Blessing!
Making
this world a better place is really as simple
as
Being the Blessing
- in small and sometimes large ways.
Remembering is the trick, and that's why we're here. Be the Blessing is a kindness company that exists to keep you wrapped in the message.
So, visit The Store and pick up some BTB gear. It will help you remember to Be the Blessing, and it spreads the word to others.
Also, check out the My BTB page where you can sign up for the weekly email mission, subscribe to the Blog/Podcast, and join our Facebook group. Consider it your own personal coaching program for becoming the person you want to be.
Check back often. We'll be adding features and new merchandise to the store. In the near future we'll be adding more shirt styles, hats, jewelry, mugs, cards & stationary, and stickers. All the stuff you need to live the mission and pass on the message.

Creating The
Kindest Community On Earth
When Kristy and I
started Be the Blessing, we had two goals. First
was to create a kinder world, and second was to
raise as much money as we could for organizations
lifting people out of extreme poverty.
Recently we had the idea of testing out Be the Blessing on our home community - The Upper Ohio Valley surrounding Wheeling, WV. What if we could, in 1 year, create the kindest community on earth, and at the same time raise one million dollars for the Free Wheelchair Mission just to prove that we are, in fact, the kindest community on the planet?
If Be the Blessing can become the mission of the people of this community not only would we change the community we would change the world. What do you say… are you in?

Blessings for
Haiti
As
we watch the horrific scenes from Haiti unfold on
our TV's and online, there arises in many of us a
deep need to do something. The question I am asking
myself right now is... what is the best way to Be
the Blessing to the people of Haiti in this crisis?
Over the coming days the people of Haiti will be transitioning from phase 1, a rescue effort, to phase 2 which is recovery, and from there into phase 3 which is rebuilding.
Phase one is usually financed and executed by governments and militaries, and unless you are trained search and rescue or are already on the ground in country, there is little you can do. The other phases leave more room for the average person to get involved.
One thing you can do is donate money to an organization that will be working on recovery and rebuilding efforts. Let me recommend agencies that were already working in Haiti before the crisis, as they have connections and necessary relationships already established.
Also give to organizations that you trust and have a track record of putting the money towards the crisis at hand.
I spoke with the folks at Free Wheelchair Mission yesterday and they are repositioning wheelchairs as we speak to be available as the recovery phase begins. If news reports are any indication of the number of amputees this event will generate, wheelchairs are going to play a central role in recovery.
Multiple thousands of people will need to get a wheelchair or will be faced with immobility and relegated to a life on the ground. Donating a wheelchair to Haiti is a way of directly blessing someone who has been affected most deeply from this tragedy, and rather than wondering where your money went, you will know that someone is up off the ground because of you.
