Paying It Forward: The Talk About Sleep Cookbook

I wanted to share with all of you Talk About Sleep’s new project to create a cookbook in order to raise funds for its services.  They are asking TAS members to submit recipes and also their “pay it forward stories” for this cookbook.  A portion of the proceeds will be used to provide services to TAS members, including more scholarships to the Narcolepsy Network conference.

Here is the message from the TAS founder about the project, which includes a link to the webpage for the project.  This link also includes other ways that you can support TAS, such as buying an ad on the site.  They are also encouraging people to order their cookbooks well in advance.

I am certainly going to submit at least one recipe!  Maybe even more than that…

I think the pay it forward philosophy is a beautiful one; that you “pay someone back” by helping someone else, who then passes the help to someone else and so on, leading to a giant chain of people helping others.  If you haven’t seen it, there is actually a movie called Pay It Forward, which was really good except it had a tragic ending.  I didn’t see why they had to make it tragic; it was otherwise such a positive film!, but oh well.

Is anyone planning on contributing a recipe(s) or buying a copy of the cookbook?
