Clear the Shelves for a Good Deed – Got Cheese?

By shopping for your everyday needs you can help address poverty and make a positive difference in this world. I was contacted by someone associated with the Good Deed Foundation who asked me if I’d include a post about what they are doing and their current initiative Clear the Shelves for a Good Deed. The current initiative is with Cabot cheese which so happens to be one of my favorite cheese brands I regularly eat (no, I am not getting paid to endorse them, nor am I getting free cheese).  

In a world short on time and money, Good Deed Foundation offers people simple acts that help provide lasting solutions for women and families in poverty and climate change. Through everyday activities such as grocery shopping, recycling and going online, consumers can convert a simple act into a world of good.

Now you can make a difference simply through your next trip to the grocery store. Now through October 18, Cabot Creamery is donating 5% of sales of 8 oz. Cabot cheese bars (whether or not those packages carry the Good Deed logo) sold in NY, NJ and CT to Good Deed Foundation to help provide lasting solutions for women and families living in poverty in our local communities. You can find more information about this and other initiatives at

It is encouraging to see a greater awareness and participation by companies that are interested in doing their part to make the world a better place for those in need. I hope this initiative will be a success and encourage many more to get involved.

How Do You Define Honesty?

I’m really excited to be posting our first video produced by ImHONEST.com. Even though it doesn’t have anything to do with politics, the topic comes at a very interesting time just a few days before the US Presidential Elections.

The words “Honest” and “Honesty” are mentioned by the media dozens of times each day. They often refer to the truthfulness of the facts. In other occasions, it comes up in the context of whether the candidate’s words truly reflect their past and present actions.

Honesty is valued by everyone and is a critical element in our interactions with others. We thought it would be interesting to go out on the streets and ask people how they define honesty. Before you watch the video, I’d like to ask you:

How do you define honesty?

I look forward to hearing from you. Please no dictionary definitions.
