This is the Route Tellman Knudson is taking on his "Run Tellman Run" barefoot marathon run across America for homeless teens.
See more info at RunTellmanRun.com
To get your picture to pull to the Squidoo site, Be sure to catch him when he runs by your area.
Then upload the photo to Flickr.com and Tag it with: "RTR 4 Kids". It should then pull there. It is a random daily pull of 10 photos. The setting of your photo must be allowed for creative commons in order for Squidoo to allow it to post.
I am looking forward to see what y'all come up with!
There is also a RTR photo stream on Flickr - these are the photos done by the promoters, but they have not (yet) tagged them for creative commons so they do not pull to the lens.
WCBS NEWSRADIO 880 - Man Running Across America Barefoot to Fight Youth Homelessness
Tellman Knudson is running across America in his Bare Feet.
You read that right. Why you ask? Because he is raising 100 Million dollars to help homeless teens in America. Tellman had a few bouts with homelessness himself as a teen. Now he is a very successful and popular internet marketer, and is raising $100,000,000 to combat youth homelessness by being the first person ever to run across America in his bare feet!
Tellman left Battery Park in New York City on Sept. 9, 2009 and hopes to reach the Santa Monica Pier in 99 days. Several people kicked off the run with him, including another big internet marketing guru, Mark Joyner. Mark lives in New Zealand and flew all the way to New York to join Tellman for what was supposed to be the first 10k (6.2 miles). However, once he passed 10k with Tellman, he ran with him for another several miles - 14 miles in all, also in his bare feet. Now Tellman has been training for this event for months, but I am not sure Mark has. In fact, according to Tellman's Blog, Mark even ran it with a broken toe!
I got an email from Tellman this morning. Here is what he had to say about that:
Awesome moments like that, where a person goes above and beyond always give me a rush...
And I'm going to need a lot of Awesome moments to hit my goal of raising 100 million for homeless teens.
But you know what?
I can do it.
I know he can do it! We're going to help!
I created a Squidoo lens to promote Tellman's Cause and to help him get the word out. Please stop by and give us a shout out!
The "Run Tellman Run" title came from Tom Hanks' movie "Forest Gump". Tellman says people kept joking with him and saying "Run Tellman, Run", so decided to make it official!
All joking aside, teenage homelessness in America is getting worse every year. I hope you will help me end teenage homelessness by supporting Run Tellman Run.
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. 1 out of 3 Homeless teens will attempt suicide. Let's help them today!
If you use the Wii Fit regularly you probably know what "Hocus Focus" is. I have been doing a little bit of working out with the Wii Fit for the past couple months since I quit smoking, and I am addicted!
Anyway, I happen to be working on a product on how to improve your Focus and Concentration skills, so "practicing" what I am preaching with the Hocus Focus game is a good idea I think. Have you ever tried it? It isn't easy at first. You have to sit perfectly still atop the Wii balance board and watch a candle burn on the screen. The game tries to throw you off with sounds such as footsteps and yawning and other things to get you off your "game" so to speak. I"m getting pretty good at it, but still goof up sometimes. When you do goof up, this scary mask flashes in front of you and yells at you - every time it does, it about makes me jump out of my skin!
The point I'm trying to make is that in order to teach something, I have to first learn it. In order to learn it, I have to step out of my comfort zone a bit. I cannot call myself an effective Focus and Concentration product developer until I can beat that silly game every single time. That is my commitment to my product.
If there is something you are wanting to start working on, a goal you have but cannot get started, or a topic you would like to learn more about, what is stopping you? Perhaps you simply avoid change. Maybe you are not "comfortable" trying something new. Could be you are talking yourself out of it for all kinds of reasons. Doing nothing is definitely easy. But then you stay right where you are now on your path. Is that what you want?
How to get moving -
Find something silly, like my Hocus Focus game, to challenge you a little bit. Maybe it could be writing in a journal for, say three days in a row, with your non-primary hand. Might be that you have been wanting to talk to a friend about a particular project - Try typing up your entire imagined conversation, then call him and see how well you stick to the script. Some little bitty thing. Create a Twitter account for your pet fish and write any nutty thing you want.... who cares? Nobody has to know it's you and you get to practice getting to your point in 140 characters or less! Would you be okay with something like that? That's all. Just one little bitty thing to inch you along for today.
Here's something cool happening in Beautiful Loveland, Colorado just as fall is in full breeze - Leap Live Event October 10th - 12th I understand that if you go through this link you can get $100 off the price of the event ~ just type in LIVEOFFER at the checkout where it says "Coupon Code."
Should be a wonderful event! I hope you get to go!
In a few hours from now, it will be 9/9/09 somewhere in the world. There are all kinds of fun things buzzing around this date. First of all, WorldWideMoment begins at 9:09 am and 9 seconds in Japan, which is tonight for me at 7:09 pm Central Time in the United States. At that precise moment, everyone participating will take a picture for peace. Then we will send it to the site at http://worldwidemoment.org to see exactly what our peaceful world looked like from one end to the other at that exact moment. That's pretty cool!
The thing I have been really excited about is a whole movement which kicks off in the US at 9:09 am and 9 seconds Eastern time tomorrow: 9/9/09. The Good Energy Movement is a community building around ways to create and share Good Energy. It is , at its heart, a promotional site for giving, healing, and finding and sharing good in humanity. I love the concept and was at the event where the whole thing was unveiled by my friends Chuck Pennington and Ben Mack. They have been promoting the event heavily for the past couple of weeks, and I have been joining them some as well. Tonight we all get together for one last discussion on the significance of the event on Doreen Whitelock's Radio Show. I hope you will join us!
Good Energy's end goal is to spread Good Energy worldwide, to every corner of the planet. One of the main ways we can do this is to get clean drinking water to kids who do not have access to it. One of the things I am doing is donating a spot on my advertising program for UnSeminar 7 to a site dedicated to doing just that. In exchange for his spot, Greg Stromberg of CannedWater4Kids is donating 200 cans of clean drinking water to underpriveledged children. Way to go Greg! That is most certainly Good Energy!
There is a fun article too on Yahoo about the significance of 9/9/09:
If you would like to help spread the word about Good Energy Day, simply add #999 to any posts on Twitter beginning now and through the next few days, and tweet it up!
Thanks for your help and support, in any way you can!
My friend Janelle and her husband (professional "sugar spinners" and Big time Squidooers) are going through a tough time right now - as they face this struggle I only wish for them love and strength, and a quiet mind to guide them as they face this and make the best possible decisions for Bob's treatment, for their family, and for Bob's comfort. This must be so difficult for the family to be facing. I send them love.
Janelle's Bio on Squidoo:
"Come, Grow Old Along With Me ... The Best Is Yet To Be!"
This is why I love Joe Vitale - He takes money and brings it to a human level.
This is a picture of Joe and me at Unseminar 6 this past May (Thanks to Craig Perrine for the Pic!)
What we want, is what money can buy, not the money itself. We do not need to be afraid of money - here are human ways, in fact impassioned ways to attract not only money, but the happiness we desire from money.
In other words, with or without money, if we do these things, we are sure to gain much more than "just" money - emotional wealth. These steps are a win-win for everyone! Here are just a couple of examples:
13. Forgive yourself and others.
14. Read Think and Grow Rich.
15. Turn a problem into a product and sell it online.
In the aftermath of the Death of Pop Icon Michael Jackson today, I came across a video of his "Earth Song". (Although it was released about 12 years ago, I had never heard it)
I had no idea he was still creating music. I thought he had been hiding out at neverland or somewhere in Europe. I did not know he was facing the world and continuing his passion for life, sharing his talent, doing good, and expressing his deep concern for the welfare of the world.
Why didn't I know that before he died? Why did it take his death to bring this powerful song to my attention?
Maybe I listened to the wrong people. Maybe I was not listening to the right people. Maybe I believed some of the awful things that were said about him. Maybe I let myself get caught in the negativity trap.
I am sorry and I deeply apologize. Please forgive me. I share my love now, his love, in this, his song:
Tomorrow, June 21, 2009 is the longest day of the year, or the summer solstice: the beginning of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
This year in conjunction with this event, there are two concurrent projects going on to celebrate our watery earth, to pray for the earth and to celebrate world peace. The One Song project begins tomorrow
the official song will begin at dawn in the most easterly point of Australia and then this song will circle the globe, moving through the different countries and timezones as a wave of sound, a sonic prayer being sung into the Waters across our living planet. This is your time with yourself and your family to sing and ground the One Song within yourself and within your area.
The Song, is sung first by whales, an Aboriginal Elder of the Widjimbul people adds in a second layer, joined by two modern song keepers Goa Lobaugh on the didgeridoo and Cornflower on vocal percussion and who also leads the global ‘One Song’. Cornflower then leads a global sound prayer "Oma Ka Om".
The song will be sung simultaneously around the world with a service at 6PM EST / 3PM Pacific Time.
It is designed to help us garner our energy - to use water in a more responsible way, as the Earth's "instrument of change".
Live H20 is a three day event already ongoing, rapping up tomorrow with 24 hours of spiritual services honoring "The Living Water" globally, and in each of us. Learn more and participate in live broadcast and chat here.
Here are A couple of really nice tools to use in conjunction with the events:
You know it’s kind of funny what happens when someone takes massive action. I have noticed this before and it is happening again today.
Ken Foster is launching a new book and in the process of asking people to purchase his book “Ask and you Will Succeed” for Sixteen Dollars and change, he is giving away all kinds of bonuses, worth upwards of 11 grand!
What’s funny is I get it – the why I mean. The book itself is about asking and answering your own questions, finding your “inner guide” sort of thing. This is a cool concept and I am looking forward to the book, but the funny thing is, Ken seems to have taken his own advice. He is literally giving away the whole forest when you buy his seedling (the book).
I love how this works. Someone is in an extremely creative and giving state, and we all get to benefit. Ken probably is in such a state of euphoria right now; (having finally completed the book, reached his goal, the launch date is here… etc) that he doesn’t even realize how much he is really giving us. It does not matter though. He will never regret it.
I believe when someone is operating on such a high level, the entire universe benefits. I am very thankful that Ken is listening to his inner voice and being so generous with his book launch. I hope you will join me in taking advantage of his awesome offer!
How bout that? Pat O'Bryan asked me to come up front during Unseminar 6 last weekend and tell everybody how I got there. I just found this pic on his flickr photostream.
So many wonderful people, including Pat and Joe Vitale were supportive of my creative efforts to fund the trip, that I feel compelled to take massive action.... I cannot let them down!
I had this nutty idea to ask people to sponsor me for the trip, in exchange for which I would wear their link and/or logos on my shirts each day. It was awesome! I had enough money for the trip in a little over a week. I am so grateful to my sponsors who believed in me enough to take a leap of faith.
The weekend was awesome and the friendships I made were incredible. I have a lifetime of good stuff ahead of me from the experience of attending Unseminar 6!
Thank you Pat and Joe and all the beautiful speakers, friends, and fellow attendees for a phenomenal experience!
