Each month, 50% of any profit from anything I do goes to charity. Also each month, I choose a "Mom-of-the-Month" or M-O-M who's made significant lifestyle changes…for her (she's not being compared to anyone else). Besides recognition in my ezine Mojo Moments, the M-O-M has the additional reward of deciding to which charity my monthly profits go! What's been so exciting about the project is that moms see the global impact of their healthy lifestyle changes along with using it as a great teaching tool for her kids! If you ask me, that's a win-win!
