Collaborating To Help Parents Of Children With Cancer: Laura Lane

I love sharing Laura Lane’s story, especially in September, which is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Laura has a beautiful and powerful dream she is raising, and collaboration and sponsorship are helping her fuel the dream and make a bigger impact. Laura has been collaborating to help parents of children with cancer through a special planner called Stronger Daily Planner for Cancer Moms. Based on her experience as a parent of a child with cancer, she wanted to help other parents navigate this incredibly stressful, overwhelming, and emotional journey. This planner helps parents do this.

The Stronger Daily Planner for Cancer Moms is a daily / weekly / monthly tracker for all things childhood cancer related. It includes a recommended resource section, helpful tips from other cancer moms, and inspirational quotes. Please check it out HERE; it’s a great way to show your support during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Collaborating to Impact School Children Globally: The Earth Group

Collaboration can help you make a bigger impact, reach more people with your message, and spark so much more fun in your projects! As a perfect example of collaborating to impact school children globally, I LOVE my friend's company, The Earth Group. I met founders Matt Moreau and Kori Chilibeck around 2014 through a mutual friend who knew that I would love the way that Earth Group makes a difference around the world and in the community where we all lived.

Community Spotlight: Collaborating to Impact School Children Globally

Let me just share a little bit about The Earth Group, why I love what they have created, and how I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with them on projects.

Wins & Celebrations: Carrie West, John Westhaver & Zaneta Johns

Good news stories are inspiring and sometimes ignite others to bring their dreams and purpose to life. We love hearing how people in our Raise a Dream community are making a difference, putting their goals and impact projects into play, and—of course—raising dreams.

Throughout the year, we put a call out to our Raise a Dream community to let us know about:

A success or something they are celebrating
Their most helpful tip or action strategy from one of our Raise a Dream trainings (and how this impacted their results or made a difference)

To kick off 2024, we bring you another fantastic client spotlight. Please enjoy what Carrie, John, and Zan have to share… I know this sure inspired me!

Wins & Celebrations: Pat Duckworth, Laura Lane & Heidi Smith

Have you ever found that inspiration is sometimes like a domino effect? Someone’s actions inspire you and then, like dominoes, you inspire others with your actions… and so on and so on. At Raise a Dream, we love sharing (and hope you enjoy seeing) other people’s projects, the dreams they are raising, and their celebrations and good news. The projects that our Raise a Dream clients and community are bringing to life make such a difference.

We put a call out to our Raise a Dream community to provide us with an update on or a combination of:

A success or something they are celebrating
Their most helpful tip or action strategy from one of our Raise a Dream trainings (and how this impacted their results or made a difference)

As you read, you will see the many ways that raising dreams, collaborating with others, and bringing projects to life can make a difference. I am so inspired by the many lives touched and impacted through these projects.

Wins & Celebrations: Lorna Blake, Candace Plattor & Christine Powers

Inspiration seeds more inspiration. Have you found that when you learn about people bringing their projects to life, it often inspires you to step into action on your goals and projects? We are excited in this blog (and future articles) to present a client spotlight featuring some of our many Raise a Dream community and client wins.

We asked clients from our community to share one or a combination of:

A win or something they are celebrating

Take a read. See the many ways that bringing projects to life can make a difference and, when you combine these wins, look at the many lives touched and impacted.
