“It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Today, I’d like to take a moment to share a wonderful event with you. Founded by one of my favorite authors and dearest friends, Rachael Wade, Lights On is a site dedicated to “turning the lights on.”

So often, we forget that big changes start with individual people. That’s what Lights On is all about – encouraging individual people to get involved so that, together, we can make a big change. Ten authors, myself included, are participating in the kick-off event, which starts today (8/1), and ends 8/8. All of the participating authors have selected a charity to represent and support. Each author is offering up exclusive prizes that will be raffled off for those that have made a donation to their sponsored charity.

The amount doesn’t have to be big: remember, big changes start with small efforts. Come see which charity I’m supporting and why. Oh, and don’t forget to make a donation to any of the charities supported by any one of the participating authors to have a chance at winning one of the exclusive prizes up for grabs.

Participating authors include:

• Shelly Crane
• Heather Huffman
• Sylvain Reynard
• Rachael Wade
• Bruce Clothier
• R.G. Lawrence
• Susan Griscom
• Cathy Givans
• Nikki Jefford
• Shawn Kristen Maravel
