Hi Everyone!  I hope you all are doing well.  My week long PSI high has come to a crash with a pretty crappy day today!  Had a negative attitude for much of the day and complained alot...I thought to myself "whats going on?"  and i felt it was a good time to make progress on my 90 Day goal, which for the most part has been nothing but an idea up to this point.

With that said, I need ideas for the website 90actsofkindess.com.  If anyone has a few moments, let me know what you think you would like to see on the website?  What functions and interactions?  What should we include on the homepage?  HELP I NEED IDEAS!!!  Thanks all and make it a great week!

PS Scott, Im still waiting to hear back from my client.  Once I do I'll give you a shout!

Well, we already touched on the video idea. I think that's groovy.

How about testimonials or a blog where people can shout out about "pay-it-forward's" that they've done?

Perhaps links to good causes and even a link to PSI's site?


I'd get their permission first before doing that though; since they don't advertise.





Have a groovy day.

Ok David, so I look at your 90 acts website. I'm not a computer guru
by any means. So it seems like if you put more personal touch it
would grab more attention. Like maybe tell a little about yourself and
what you are doing all this for. I didn't see anything like that. It
seemed like it was really busy so it was hard to look at one thing. I
tune out stuff that looks like ads. Other than that I think its an
amazing start. Have you gone in your work shop and asked your
assistants? I am always amazed when I go in there. I kind of had one
of those blah days. I just blamed it on the moon.

Hey Steph,
I believe you were looking at someone else's site, as 90actsofkindess.com is not up yet.   Im still struggling with what the site content is going to be!  If you have any ideas let me know.

Rebekah, Thanks so much for sharing these 100 ideas - making plans to integrate them into tomorrow has really brightened today!
 
Laura, if you're on-line, could you email me?  Southwest is offering $60 fares to SF until 11:59 pm tonight and I'm thinking I'll take advantage of them to book my flight for PSI 7..
 
Thanks - Lynn

That is so true. This is the way we should all live. Thanks again. Let me know if anyone needs help with their events. Even if you just need someone to help set up or just show up. I'm always looking to help out. I truly mean this.

Stephanie
