Goal Setting Challenge | Meet Miss January

If you’ll recall, I challenged all of you to document and track your goals using your photos and video. That’s right, put your media to work for you in the business of keeping you accountable. Today we’ll look at a wonderful woman who is using her photos for a philanthropic goal.

Meet Wendy Warden, a photographer and author in Illinois. She has an absolute passion for Newfoundlands, the dogs, that is. Her goal is to photograph her Newfoundlands each month and create a funky calendar to be sold as a breed fundraiser.

Here’s her January pin-up girl:

Wendy says, “The story/motivation/inspiration behind the fundraising idea is:

1. I love the breed (Newfoundlands) I have been the keeper of at least one “Newfie” for the past 16 years.
2. Our first rescue came to us three years ago this month. She was a traumatized, food aggressive, twice almost starved to death mess. She has many physical ailments, the some of the worst arthritis our vet had ever seen on an xray and masses in her throat and lungs. We thought three years ago that she had only a few months to live.
3. Love of her humans (my husband, our neighbors, our groomer, our breeder, the doctors I work with in my coaching practice, my sister, and me), love of her Newfie “sister”, vet care, human whole food supplements, human homeopathic supplements, and a happy home has made the girl in the photo one of the best gifts and strongest affirmations in my life.
4. This is a perfect way to say thank you to the universe for bring me (us) our Corey Jean. AND to promote more Newfies finding their way to the homes they belong and lives where they will prosper.”

Thank you for sharing your goal and photo with us, Wendy. You can follow Wendy’s progress with her photos and fundraising on her blog.

Wendy is a great inspiration of how to track your goals through your photos and video. If you have a goal, story, and accompanying photo/video to share, send me an email at blog@my-photo-video.com.
