Nine! Nine! Nine!

"Nine! Nine! Nine!" sounds just like "Nein! Nein! Nein!" but it's not. (Nicht nein sage ich "No! No! No!" auf Deutsch. )

Nine Means Yes
Instead of "No! No! No!" I'm asking you to say "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

In seven days, on 9-9-9 Born To Fly International is looking for nine-thousand nine-dollar contributions so they can go to press with educational materials to raise awareness about child human trafficking for at-risk children and their parents around the world.

So can you spare a NINE? (Do you ever wonder why the United States Treasury doesn't print nine-dollar bills? Honestly, neither do I.)

Please visit Born To Fly International and read about their work. Please consider a $9 gift. If you think this is important, tell 9 friends. Then, if you can, please think of 9 other ways you can help support this important cause.

You could...
  • Write nine blog posts (sound familiar?)
  • Post nine Twitter updates
  • Find nine related links and share them on Facebook or wherever you share stuff
No Big Commitment Required, Just Do SOMETHING
This is no big commitment. You can help this good organization achieve an important milestone and then go back to whatever it is you do. But please do something between now and 9-9-9. Share 9 bucks. Tell 9 friends. Whatever... This is a good idea and as Harvey Mackay says, "Getting a good idea should be like sitting on a pin. It should make you jump up and do something!"
