Musing of a fabulously fifty-ish Babe with (P)lenty (H)ips (A)nd (T)highs living a fit, healthy life-style, while giving this aging thing a run for its money. Here is where the Grown & Sexy meet. The language may be a little 'tart' at times, but we're all grown folk here.
This morning I signed on to participate in this months NaBloPoMo. Okay… so what is this? NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month :-). I’m using this opportunity as an inspiration to continue, waaaay after this challenge has ended, post daily in this space that I’ve curved out for myself. A space where – as the tag line for this challenge encourages – I can “Type [My] Heart Out” !
Modeled after a similar contest whose audience are novelists NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month),, the wonderful people at Blogher created a community of everyday bloggers to gather and share their thoughts and experiences.
If you, too, are looking to find ‘friends’ in the amazing world of the blogosphere (did I mention that there are prizes for participation? 😉 ) then you want to hurry over and get yourself signed up for this ultimate opportunity to meet and greet!
I am sooooo excited about this being the month of November! Yes, yes. I know – It’s #NaBlogPoMo Month!! Don’t get me wrong, I am super stoked about that…
Well it seems that November is the chosen month for many a celebration. I think that I know which one is coming to mind, right about now. But. No, No. It’s not Thanksgiving (I’ll have a post about this holiday for Culinary Divahs and Food Lovers very soon).
Then ‘What can it be?’ you ask *gently scratching one’s head with a well-manicured nail*
In the words of one NYC journalist, simply put, Movember is a fundraising initiative where ….
“….. thousands of men around the world said goodbye to their clean-shaven upper lips and braced themselves for awkward stubble. Movember, a global initiative that has grow mustaches during November to raise awareness and money for men’s health, is now officially under way….”
It’s been several years since the birth of this initiative (founded by an Australian gentleman), Movember has become an official charity with global reach. The vision is to have an impact on men’s health that rivals that of breast cancer awareness.
There are Three Basic Rules:
1~ Start on November 1st clean shaven
2~ Grow your ‘Mo’ (Australian for ‘moustache’) for 30 days
3~ Raise Awareness and funds for Men’s Health
It’s that simple…
Need the backstory?
Check out this video….
Through the power of the Mo, vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.
