New animated video on YouTube--Breathless Mom Project Conversation

Just released on YouTube--a Breathless Mom Project Conversation animated video.  Melissa and Susan engage in a conversation about the Breathless Mom Project at the coffee area at work.  As they talk about the project, both agree to work with JoelMonty to get more people involved in working on and with the project.
I've learned over the years that cartoons--and now, animated videos, can do more to convey a message than email, face-to-face, or video-conferences.  While this may not be true for long-term messages, it is very true for small, tight messages.
Anyway, check-out the video, get involved with the Breathless Mom Project and tell me what you think.

Need Help With "Breathless Mom" Project

Sharlie, Our Breathless Mom

Sharlie is a 32-year-old mom suffering from cystic fibrosis–a lung disease that is genetic and life-threatening–life-ending.  I had a close friend in high school who suffered from the disease and who died at an early age.  Please watch the YouTube video about Sharlie and her family.

I have been working for several months with a group of caring Internet professionals who have decided to band together to make a difference for Sharlie–and for the people willing to help this Sharlie project.

This is not a non-profit (501C3) charity, there are no tax breaks for donating or participating.  We are in a hurry to raise funds for Sharlie and for others.  Some of these professionals have donated information products that normally sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars.  Others have donated their time and expertise.

Sharlie isn’t looking for handouts–though donations for Sharlie can be made on the Breathless Mom Project website.

The people behind the project want this to be a “win-win” for everyone involved.  How that works is that a variety of products are being sold at greatly reduced prices by people affiliated with the project.  People purchasing these products get real value from their investment and most of the money goes to help Sharlie.

I’ve purchased product and am looking to replicate what I’m doing.  At a minimum, I need three people to commit to purchase a product and to find three others to purchase a product. If we can do that, when it happens 11 times we will have generated Sharlie’s million dollars.

I’m one of the affiliates who is working to generate funds for Sharlie and for other worthwhile projects as well.  These links will get you to products I am promoting for Breathless Mom.

Moving Out of Census Daze

As you will have noticed by now, I have posted infrequently on this blog for almost a year--this after almost a year of daily blogs.

I was involved with Census 2010 as a bilingual (Spanish) enumerator and as an Office Operations Supervisor for a suburb west of Chicago.  Census 2010 consisted of a series of operations and each operation could have separate staffing.  I was involved with Census 2010 from March, 2010 through the end of March, 2011, and was scheduled to participate in a final operation during May and June, 2011.  

The Census geared their temporary employees based on geography--wanting people to work in their local area.  Fortunately for the area in which I live, there was little to do in the final operation and no one from this area was hired.  For my area, Census 2010 and its follow-up activities are over.  (The U.S. Census Bureau has ongoing operations--Census 2010 was the Decennial Census.)

The Census believes strongly in protecting privacy and Census employees agree to terms of employment that include a $250,000 fine and up to five years of imprisonment for disclosing personal proprietary information (PPI).  That had a lot to do with not keeping up with posting.  I had several months between operations.  I took some of that time reviewing my earlier blog posts and am in the process of turning them into a book.

My focus and efforts are now in reaching out through the Internet to share my experience and insights as a global learning and change navigator.  Visit my new blog at http://www.JoelMonty.Info/blog/.
