Tip Jar

If you're like me, you probably drop $10-15 a week in tips: conscious tips you leave for a dinner out and "unconscious" tips you toss into the "tip jars" you find on almost ever counter where you order coffee or food. The total can add up quickly.

If the information on this site has been valuable to you―in your classroom, in your business or organization, or in your life―consider throwing something into my "tip jar." How much depends on how you'd like to thank me:

― a latté and a scone ($4-5)?

― a glass of wine ($6-8)?

― a light lunch $8-10?

You can contribute to my tip jar safely and easily with your credit card by following the link below to my PayPal account.

Thanks for supporting my efforts to make in-depth information about the hero's journey available on the web.
