			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, I know&#8230;two blog posts in one day is quite unlike me, but I really wanted to bring attention to the latest pair of earrings I posted and the reason behind their creation:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3294/2765257351_2f61026d60_m.jpg" alt="Count Me In Charity Piece" width="192" height="240" /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3122/2766258474_7c4b9209fd_m.jpg" alt="Count Me In Charity Earrings" width="176" height="240" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been visiting my site for the past month (and wondering why I hadn&#8217;t posted in such a long time), you can attribute part of the delay in news to these beautiful earrings shown above. Back in May, I was contacted by SheFinds to participate in a promotion to help raise money for Count Me In, the leading national not-for-profit provider of  business resources and education for women entrepreneurs.</p>
<p><a href="http://shefinds.com/blog/index.php/weblog/index/category/count_me_in"><img src="/images/SF_CMIBadge_175x175.jpg" alt="" align="right" /></a>During September, <a href="http://www.shefinds.com">SheFinds</a> will feature original accessories created by independent designers that incorporate either the Count Me In motto â€œBelieve In Youâ€, their logo or program logos, and/or the official colors into the design.  The designers are all pledging to donate a portion of the proceeds from all sales of these items made from September 1st to December 31st to Count Me In. Once the promotion starts, you can keep up on the designers by clicking through to the <a href="http://shefinds.com/blog/index.php/weblog/index/category/count_me_in">SheFinds</a> site or through the image at the right.</p>
<p>The Count Me In mission of promoting economic independence and the growth of women-owned businesses really hits home for me. As a woman entrepreneur who has not one (<a href="http://www.aprettyrock.com">jewelry</a>), but two (<a href="http://www.yazminmedia.com/">web development</a>) businesses, I understand the necessity for programs to help women in all aspects of business.</p>
<p>My hope is that by <strong>donating 25% of the proceeds made from the sale of these earrings</strong>, which will be a limited edition series, Count Me In will get one step closer to their organization&#8217;s goals. The great thing about this is that I&#8217;m not the only one who feels like this and I&#8217;ve heard that plenty other designers are stepping up to the plate.</p>
<p>If you know anyone who can benefit from this organization or who would be willing to make a purchase knowing that it was for a good cause, please take the time to forward this information to them. Help yourself or someone else grow their business!</p>
