PrayerBox on Fox 11 News- Video POSTED and website news

// May 26th, 2010 // 5 Comments » // A-freakn-men!!, Mai News, Pray It Forward

Thank you producer David Fleming, for announcing the video link so all that missed the feature about my PrayerBox can watch. And thank you to everyone who’s been sending forward so much love after seeing the piece. For all the prayers that have been sent, I’ll be taking it to the top of Runyon personally so keep em coming! Also,

for those of you with the great suggestions about a website for the box, I’m actually in the process of creating something even better. My own website is being worked on now, and besides fun fashion news and blog, it will house a specific section where prayers taken up to the box will be posted along with an area for those who can’t make it to the box to post your prayers on my wall.  So stay in touch by replying here so that I have your email for updates and keep sending me specific prayers. Until then, see you at the top as we Pray it Forward together!

What is my PrayerBox- on Fox 11 News TONIGHT

Wow oh wow. Before I get into the exciting news for the box, let me explain what it is.

For those of you who have followed my blog, you also know about my beloved Prayer Box I’ve placed at the steepest tip top of Runyon Canyon, a beautiful hillside hike here in Hollywood, California. I first had the vision for this box 2 years ago after an overwhelming sense of gratitude for each day that I’ve taken to hike to the top to pray and “reset” for the day ahead. I wondered if every other person who takes the time to hike these two tall mountains felt the same way after reaching the top… knowing that no matter how hard it feels, how badly you don’t feel like doing it, if you believe and put your best foot forward, you WILL.  Read more...

I <3 Heartbeat.

So far- my trip to Vietnam has been surreal. The food, the people…I can’t even stand it. Yesterday I spent time meeting the family of amazing people at the Heartbeat Vietnam headquarters, and learned all the stories of children who had been qualified to receive heart surgeries. Besides meeting the outstanding Robin King Austin who brought her vision to life by founding Heartbeat Vietnam, I met the incredible staff of talented people who put all the efforts forth to save these children. The most memorable part of my visit was seeing this wall of beautiful children, all with a sensational smile and a signature scar of life down the center of their chest. Mimi described to me the stories behind each of these children from various provinces around Vietnam, and how-thanks to each donor- these pictures are able to be rotated often to celebrate each heart surgery completed! With that, Robin blessed me with the greatest invite ever..to go TODAY to actually visit a young survivor who just recently received her heart surgery! I can’t even tell you how jittery my fingers are in typing this blog to head out on my way now to the hospital to see Hoa. Stay tuned for pictures of Hoa and I.. and thank you so much for joining me here to make things like this happen my friends.  Read more...

I’m going to Vietnam, and here’s how you can join me.

That’s right friends. I’m dying of excitement to finally be taking the first vacation in three stretched years of non-stop working. And well, I even feel bad saying that because I lovemy jobs, so I don’t even feel like I’m overworked, but this is an entirely different trip where I’m going to be working in the way I most love.

So where am I going?? To…(drumroll please, with chopsticks)…  Read more...

Oh my gosh, I had the most amazing weekend I have to share with you guys.

If you live here in LA you know that it was raining like crazy for a hot second. Last week for like 5 days straight- . And everyday I was envisioning my beloved lil surviving prayer box up on that hill by itself getting soaked, possibly even blown off the hill. (I have a very dramatic imagination.) Well, I went up there right when the rain stopped for a second to check on the box, and yes it was safe! So I filled it up with fresh paper and new pens. That was 4 days ago.  Read more...

The JEANNIE MAI way to have a Happy Birthday

// January 4th, 2010 // 14 Comments » // A-freakn-men!!, Fun, Mai News, Uncategorized

By counting my blessings:

#31. I have friends who will actually go to the trouble each year to get me a wheat-free bday cake I can eat. God bless u babes!!

#30. My job is to make people feel fan-freakin-tastic about who they are. I get to do it whether I’m working or not.

#29. I really love the lil things I don’t love about my bod. It gets me creative about how to dress them all up, otherwise I’d just be wearing Victoria Secret wings all day.  Read more...

Happiest New Year friends. I’m praying over everyone this year that you dream even bigger than ever before to make your life goals come true. No dream is too small, nothing imagined is too big. Do what you believe to make it happen. Write it down, post it where you can see it everyday, and begin to connect with the right talents who have the same vision. If I can do it–anyone can.

Thank you everyone –for helping me reach my goals of getting people to a beautiful confidence. Here’s to Mai goal of million makeovers –one smile at a time.  Read more...

A few months ago I found out about  a nursing home that cares for elderly people who no longer have the ability to care for themselves. Some are disabled, some single or double amputees, and after visiting I saw that all were so full of heart. After hearing about their “Cocktail Fridays”, (evenings with Myles serving yummy virgin drinks), seeing their schedule mapped out with movie nights, and meeting a few of the patients who would come out to visit on the set of my show, How Do I Look,  I quickly learned that the patients and I shared one major thing in common- we look forward to having any reason to celebrate the life the we have.  Read more...

Love, Jeannie.

Dear God,

Why is Thanksgiving only one day? As much as I am thankful every single day for my bombtastic life, can we please consider having more holidays where we bring people, food, and thanks together?? Hallmark would have a field day, and we need pumpkin things in March. Please consider this.  Read more...
