Awesome day for The20Project...  we are up to $980!!  Definitely a reason to celebrate but we are not there yet!  19 days to go in our campaign.  DONATE TODAY! 

Thanks Everyone  :)

Today, I sent out an email to over 1,000 people from my gmail address list....  and I am hoping that this will make the difference in our kickstarter campaign.  If you didn't receive the email - here it is below.  If you send me a message - I will ensure that you receive an original.
Cheers, Hilary

Dear Friends; 
Do you remember what it was like when you were 20?   It is a time of great change in your life, a time of confusing messages, a lot of pressure to make decisions and be successful.  

• The20Project is about sharing stories so that others may learn from our mistakes, struggles and triumphs. 
• The20Project is about building community so that maybe someone doesn’t feel so alone.
• The20Project is about supporting those who are unable to support themselves. 

You are receiving this email because you know someone who is a contributor to The20Project.  This contributor has put hours, days and maybe weeks of effort building something that is worthy of sharing with the world and we need your help! 
 
We have written a book, but this is not the end of our journey.  In order to get the book from a document on a computer into the hands of 20 year olds, it is going to take significant funding to help pay for the professional editing, publishing and printing costs to get this book out into the world.
 
We are asking for your help in the form of a Kickstarter donation.  We think this project is worth your time and we hope that you think so too. 
 
We are not about sending a ton of email, so this email and a book launch email is all you will receive. 
 
Thank you for your time and we hope that you will join us on our incredible journey.
 
Hilary Curry & The20Project Contributors

Today is a VERY exciting day for us over here on The20Project!!!  We just launched our Kickstarter Campaign this morning.... 

SO - tell your mom, tell your dad, tell your kids, tell your friends, tell the WORLD!

We need your support to get this book published!!!  DONATE!!!!!

I couldn't resist....  In preparation to launch our kickstarter campaign I decided to re-design the website!  So, here it is.  Any feedback or comments please let me know. 
Cheers, Hilary

p.s - The Kickstarter buttons will work....  when I get approval for the project (it has been submitted)

I am writing this as a very frustrated, self confessed, A-Type. 

This past weekend I filmed my kickstarter video, got everything ready to go and also sent a bunch of emails out asking for information / feedback from a bunch of people.   I thought today I would have my website re-designed and my kickstarter campaign up and running and feedback from people on their chapters.....  ummmmmm..... no. 

There were a few bright lights that have sent the information that I requested but I think that all of my other emails have either been deleted or lost to cyber space.  :( 

Hence a reminder to keep calm and chill out.  For someone like me - sage advice!   Because lately I have been feeling like I am trying to push a boulder up a hill in the snow and sliding back at an alarming rate! 

However.... I also get emails like this from one of our early reviewers, which reminds me that it is all so worth while!
