Be Awesome Month - the end
February 28th, 2008
Hey everyone,
So, we made it! When we first thought of doing this, we wondered if we could actually interest anyone in doing it, but we went ahead and gave it a try anyway. We don’t know about you - but we are very glad we did. We have all achieved something really special here…counting those who responded as “Attending” to our facebook event, and those who have told us they were participating, even supposing each person did one good deed a day, that’s over 6000 good deeds over the course of the month. And since quite a few people did multiple good deeds…there’s no way to get a truly accurate number but we’re talking quite a lot of positive effects here. So everyone who participated should be proud of themselves.
Tomorrow, as we’re sure you know, is Be Awesome Day. We hope you’re planning to go just that little bit further to make a difference - after all, the 29th only comes around once every four years, and what better use for it than to make a difference in the world? If you’re doing something awesome tomorrow and don’t mind, you could even take pictures and send them to us. We’re trying to compile a video of the awesome goings-on as a memento of this month, and we could really use your help!
There are some people we really must thank for all their help, support and contributions. Firstly, the amazing Robin for hosting us for free. Secondly, Rae, Chan and Trin for being so awesome and supportive and for inspiring us right back! Thirdly, to the amazing Andrew Slack, who believed in Be Awesome, and who not only bulletined about us, but bugged OTHER people to repost it too. To everyone who posted videos about it on YouTube - particularly Gir1inthemirror for her daily way to be awesome - Chasing Quaffles, professorspork, snappyjdog, lucybabe56, itscalledpeace and LailaLorestone. To Kelly, for making us such a pretty logo…and the Schizophrenic Fangirls, Morgan and Darcy, for writing us a SONG, an actual song! And finally, to everyone who did a good deed over the past month - you have helped and inspired us and each other more than we could ever have imagined at the end of last year when this was all just a distant dream.
So thank everyone who participated for believing that doing small things can make a difference. Gandhi said, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” We urge you not to stop trying after this month is over, to go out there and continue ‘being the change’. It’s a worthwhile aim, and the results can be, to put it simply, awesome.
For the last time - be happy, and don’t forget to be awesome.

I just saw your blog on the Teen Ink newsletter. It looks you have an “awesome” site. Keep up the good work!

This is just incredibly awwwwww-some! I love it. I don’t know if I’ve got that much goodness in me to be able to pull it off every day! But I can always put a more concentrated effort behind trying.
Love,
