Giving Back With GAIAM: Awaken. Transform. Give Back.

Gaiam, a leading yoga, fitness and wellness company, recently announced a three-year partnership with the Give Back Yoga Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to making yoga available to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to cultivate a regular practice- including at-risk youth and veterans with PTSD. With the goal of sharing and spreading the trans-formative benefits of yoga, the Give Back Yoga Foundation embodies Gaiam’s philosophy of providing “Yoga for Everyone.”

As part of the partnership, Gaiam is making a special financial contribution to the Give Back Yoga Foundation’s Light the Way for Heroes™ initiative, a campaign designed to provide the proper tools to veterans so they can practice and use yoga as a means of  “navigating life after war” which will strengthen connections with loved ones and improve quality of life. With a goal of providing for 30,000 veterans, Gaiam and Give Back Yoga aim to empower veterans to use yoga as a means of living a peaceful, productive life.

Gaiam is also inviting their loyal online shoppers to support the cause by donating $2 specifically to Light the Way for Heroes with every purchase on Gaiam.com . The customer donations through Gaiam.com will help to provide veterans with therapeutic yoga tool kits, which offer resources including practice guides, meditation audio and Gaiam yoga mats that can help veterans experience how a personal yoga practice supports a calm and steady body and mind. One hundred percent of the donations collected are passed along to Give Back Yoga.

Deshalamar: Review and Giveaway, ends 11/22/12

Companies that dedicate themselves to the aid of others are hard to find.  Profit drives most businesses and that's perfectly fine -- it's how a business survives.  But some companies do dedicate themselves to helping others.  One such company is Deshalamar.org

Deshalamar's Mission is
*To provide food, shelter, and services to American Veterans in need.
*To provide for women and children, survivor's of domestic violence.
*To raise awareness and funding to support the Huntington's Disease community.

PRODUCTS:
Purchase with a purpose: Our product is made in the USA. We sell our products at various trade shows and in our on-line store. Not only does our product solve the needs of our customers, a large portion of the proceeds benefit our causes.
Our customers understand that their purchase helps veterans, domestic violence survivors, and programs for Huntington’s Disease. One of our goals is to set up a manufacturing facility to produce our product. This will provide jobs to individuals within our non-profit programs.

Deshalamar sponsors the programs mentioned above. 100% of all donations go directly into Deshalamar CDC 501(c)3 programs. We have created Remembrance / Honor Hearts for each component of our nonprofit.

If you are donating in remembrance or in honor of an individual, please specify if you wish to have their name added within your message. All messages will be placed next to your heart on our company website.

Hearts for Vets donations go directly into The "House of Change" Program. JHD/HD Heart donations go directly into The HD Relief Fund. DV Heart donations go directly into programs to help Domestic Violence survivors.

I firmly believe in the Blessings that come from supporting such great causes. Love one another. A simple, yet powerful, message from the Good Lord to us all.

The jewelry is beautifully crafted.  I chose the silver DAUGHTER'S BLESSING bracelets for Michelle and Lizz.

The bracelet reads: A Daughter is a special gift, a blessing from above, the joy and friendship never end, and least of all the love.

Isn't that lovely?  That's just how I feel about my angel-babies!

The wonderful folks at Deshalamar are generously offering *3* of my readers the opportunity to win a beautiful bracelet for their own!

For you, dear readers, I have these amazing bracelets:
