Paying It 4ward!

Hi there all,
I don't even know if anyone is following this blog but I feel the need to add to it- especially today. So I've always struggled with naming my "grassroots project" MothersLoveYourEarth.org. I really wanted just "Love Your Earth". I trademarked just "Love Your Earth" even though I didn't have the website. Unfortunately the website was taken. I just thought someday I would make enough money to hopefully buy it from the rightful owner. I pondered this quite a bit and in the meantime snatched up all the website domain names I could think of that would associate to "Love Your Earth". I felt like "Mothers" was too specific (which it was). I want everyone to feel a part of this movement to decrease the use of nasty plastic bags.
So about 10 days ago, I got enough courage to call the rightful owner. The website was owned, but not in use at this time. I figured it was worth a shot to see how much I may have to pay for it. I thought positive thoughts all day. Believe it or not, the owner was an angel. Raoul Bhatt transferred the website to me today! I told him what my goal is and he too had environmental ideas for the website. Unfortunately he's too busy with other areas in his life (http://www.firetext.tv/). So now I feel it's even more of my mission to succeed. Raoul has demonstrated the epitome of "Pay It 4Ward". Hats off to you. You don't even know how far this good deed will travel. I can't wait to Pay It 4Ward to someone unsuspecting and have them hopefully do the same. Raoul, you're a saint in my book. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even the customer service guy at GoDaddy.com thought it was amazingly generous of you! Thank you again!
Love Your Earth,
Angie
