Hey everybody! As you know from my previous e-mail/post, the NAMIwalk
is this Saturday. I’m very close to meeting my first goal of $100
dollars! For anyone who donates just one dollar I will send you a
handmade(by yours truly) green mental health awareness ribbon in your
choice of braided or classic. You can wear this ribbon to show that
you have supported the cause. Wear it throughout mental health
awareness week October 7th-13th!
Another perk:Walkers are entered in a raffle if they raise $50 dollars
or more. For every $50 they raise they are entered for one chance for
a luxury cruise….so instead of taking this opportunity for myself I
am going to extend this to you folks. You have my promise that if any
one person donates fifty dollars or more they will be given one raffle
ticket for each $50 donated. This is how much this cause means to me!
But remember just one dollar gets you a ribbon! Please include contact
information in a reply if you wish to be included in incentives! Thank
you for your support!

just let me know via reply.
Thankyou
Melissa Morin
Bloom by Anna Schuleit, consisted of 28,000 potted, blooming flowers that were installed in an abandoned mental asylum.
Situated north of the Cap Vert Peninsula in Senegal, northeast of Dakar, Lake Retba, or as the French refer to it Lac Rose, is pinker than any milkshake you’ve ever come face to straw with.
And once you see it, you too will agree that a sippy straw may be in order over a boat.
Experts say the lake gives off its pink hue due to cyanobacteria, a harmless halophilic bacteria found in the water.
If the color weren’t enough to make you smile, it should be known that Lake Retba has a high salt content, much like that of the Dead Sea, allowing people to float effortlessly in the massive pink water. In fact, Lake Retba has an almost one and a half times higher salt content than the Dead Sea.
