Last night my friend Marisol and I headed to the 10th annual Chili Cook-Out in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico to help raise money for charity.

Our booth was called Orgasmic Organic Chili. Serving chili has never been this much fun. But as hundreds of people crowded the park and stepped up to the plate to buy $1.00 cups of chili from about 20 vendors, the competition was high as to who would be the winner with the most sales.

Our booth had won last year and sure enough, with the amazing combined effort of the entire team, our booth won again!

All of the proceeds went to help out the children of the dump, an issue in many parts of the world. I know – I visited the dump in Mazatlan last year with sandwiches and oranges for the poor who live off of what they find in the garbage.

We danced, we laughed, we joked and we had lots of fun with our customers. AND we raised money for a good cause. I love being able to make a difference, while enjoying the sun and tons of fun. For me that is the epitome of an amazing life!

If you want to make a difference this Christmas and help me help others as I travel later this month to Guatemala, visit, www.janjanzen.com/coffeekids and see how you can create a win-win-win situation for everyone this winter. I can´t promise that it will be as much fun as we had last night but it will mean alot to those we help this Christmas.
