Deadline Feb 17th, 11:59 PM EST
Rarely here at TSA we see a CAUSE that’s worth shouting about… but today, I’m about to CHANGE all that…
YOU have a chance to be part of the goals and dreams of ONE MAN, and be part of this movement and HELP change the world with a single idea.
The person in question is someone I’ve known for almost 3 years now and I’ve always admired his HEART and commitment to making a HUGE difference in OTHER people’s lives.
This person is a TRUE giver.
Over the years I’ve noticed the following QUALITIES in him (which are rare to find in other people)…
- Grateful
- Kind and Giving
- Committed
- Dedicated
- Motivated
- Persistent
- Honesty
- Integrity
This person is ALWAYS willing to put in 110% into EVERYTHING he does and I know with just a LITTLE help from you, he will be able to reach and IMPACT more people with his IDEA.
His Name is Theuns Serfontain…
His IDEA Is grAtitude!
Wouldn’t you agree that EVERYONE could benefit from a bit more grAtitude in their life?
If we could educate people from an EARLY age to be more grateful for the things they have in life rather than the things that are lacking, how do you think that would IMPACT the world?
It would make a HUGE difference wouldn’t it?
So, What’s This About?
Well, 6 years ago, Theuns had a UNIQUE idea to bring a BOARD game to the world to help teach people more about grAtitude. After a HUGE struggle (like most ideas), he and his partner Steve Vernon are incredibly close to bringing it to fruition.
They have a UNIQUE opportunity in March to move the game forward, so it can start to make a difference in people’s lives. But, in order to attend the unique opportunity, they MUST…
Raise a MINIMUM of $19,000 by Feb 17th, 11:59 PM EST.
I’m sure you’d agree that this is a VERY tight deadline… but I’m 100% sure they can do it!
BUT…
They need YOUR help.
You ALONE have the POWER to help them reach their target and goal to be able to take this game out to the MASSES.
Here’s How You Can Help…
But PLEASE act FAST! The deadline is approaching quickly.
- Write a BLOG post about Theuns and his grAtitude game for your next blog post.
- Visit http://kickstarter.gratitude-thegame.com to learn more and PLEDGE a certain amount of money towards the project. (If the project is unsuccessful, you won’t be charged).
- Share this blog post on Facebook, Twitter and on your Facebook Fan Pages.
They can’t do this on their own!
This is YOUR turn to give back to the community and to SUPPORT Theuns idea and goal of changing the world with a fantastic game called grAtitude!
He’s a REAL person, who loves life, helps many people and has a SINGLE idea to help bring light to the world with his IDEA.
Right now, he’s sitting at home, praying for a miracle… to be able to raise the amount of money to move the idea forward!
The world needs more people like Theuns, and you can support him today.

I’m sure you’d agree that TSA is a community built to HELP people with a unique MESSAGE… and that’s what we MUST do TODAY!
Theuns has a UNIQUE message and needs your help to spread the word.
If you can’t afford to contribute financially, then think about writing a blog post, sharing on Facebook, posting on Twitter.
Let’s CRUSH the amount they need to raise!
Committed To Your Success,
Gavin Mountford, Dave & Dawn Cook & Kimberly Castleberry
P.S. If you can’t afford to contribute financially, then you can still make a difference by writing about it and sharing it.

Hey, this was a join effort we put in allot of hard contacts to make this happen. I was looking around on our TSA site just to leave a comment as required. I thought that we did not get an update on if the goal was met?
This idea of getting everyone in our family here involved in a good cause is remarkable and something all should really think about. Now, if there is anyone else with a non-profit cause to market. This is where to put in your prayers for support..
Thanks for having this movement here and allowing us all to have taken part of something good.

Theuns,
Your Gratitude Game is just what the world needs now. But it seems that anything worthwhile is worth struggling for, fighting for and doing whatever it takes to get it out there. Just keep spreading the word that gratitude is the key to happiness.
Warmly,

Hey Gavin,
I agree with your love and admiration for Theuns, he truly does have a great heart and is committed to bringing is dream into reality sharing his “Gratitude” with the world.
I’ve noticed that the deadline had passed. Does that mean the “Kickstarter” program is no longer taking contributions for the Gratitude board game?
Thanks for sharing this info with us Gavin and for your support of our good friend Theuns.

Gavin, this is a great help! Thank you for introducing it. Sometimes we as humans have a habit of simply “talking” about the problem but never willing to offer a “solution”. You have done just that! In my opinion, never mind if it works, just step out and suggest. This shows me you really do love us Gavin! LOL
Thanks very helpful

What a cool idea! Looks a whole lot better than some of the games on the market today. I’d like to know exactly how it’s done, how it’s played. I assume one is sharing what they are grateful for, but I know it’s more than that!

I commented to him on his site and in the FB group to congratulate on how far he has come and my prayers are in for him. I am pretty strict on my site’s focus. I don’t want to offend anyone on not posting about his project on my site, and I cannot pledge to donate because of conferences and my 1st quarter funds are already allotted. If it were 6 months in advance, it would be a different story. I’ve shared the original post over some of my social handles.
Theuns: I do know if you do a search, there are some groups online that do accept proposals for funding on your project. Have you sought out any venture capital or angel investors?

The fastest way to success (let alone, happiness) is through gratitude.
The Universe has a funny way of bringing us more good when we are genuinely grateful for the things we have already been given.
Theuns’ Gratitude Game is a great way to open our eyes and our heart to the abundance around and within us.
I’m happy to share his mission with everyone on my list and in my social circles.
This effort really is a testament to what a tribe is all about.
Good job, everyone.

I was just on Theuns blog learning about this movement and I think this is a great way to spread the word about this. I must say this movement is very motivating and I will do my best to share to all my social media profiles I have and spread the word to anyone i can get in front of! I am a strong believer in this and I think with some perseverance and dedication we can get this thing out to the masses and raises more than what is needed
To your upcoming launch success!

You Have me in tears as I listen to your Video and read Steve’s comment.
What can I say more than just THANK YOU and THANK YOU to every one in TSA that will Help me to make my Idea9 Dream) a reality. and that is to Teach the world Life’s success Prinsipals in a fun way even children will be able to learn and play it.
What Steve say hear is as if he did do some mind reading….
“Thank you so much for the time you took to put this together. I know I speak for my brother Theuns, as well. I will personally see to it that you receive one of the very first copies of the game when it comes off the production line so that you can share it with your family — especially that wonderful new little girl of yours. And we can’t wait to send out all the rewards awaiting those who also support the project at whatever level they are able and see fit.”
All i can say now is Thank you EVERY one in TSA that did take the time to read This post and that
you help me to make my dream a Realety.
LOVE and REGARDS

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! You are absolutely amazing! I know I asked if you might be able to help get out the word about the project, but this is FAR AND AWAY so much more than I could have ever imagined! Thank you SO much! Theuns can use all the support we can muster up for this vision he has had for so long to teach and promote, in new ways, the age old principles of success and abundance.
The reason I agreed a little over a year ago to become involved, myself, with this project was because I feel exactly the same way about Theuns as you do. He is probably one of the most giving and unselfish individuals I’ve ever known. Even though we have never met physically in person, I have come to know him over the last 2-plus years through the incredible technology of Skype, and consider him just like a brother. He has inspired me, encouraged me, and at times kept me on the straight and narrow with my ideas about how to go about things and how this project might move forward, and always I have watched and been truly inspired by his determination to bring his dream to reality. Knowing some of what he has gone through in recent years and having to start again from scratch makes his faithfulness to this project, to TSA, and to sharing these age old principles of gratitude and abundance with others even more special and impressive.
This is so much more than a board game, and it has been my true joy to be a part of this project and its incredible potential, the surface of which I sincerely believe we have barely begun to scratch. As one friend of mine here in the States said, “Steve, you and Theuns have the potential here of not just creating a successful board game, but an entire movement!” I believe she may have been absolutely correct.
Thank you so much for the time you took to put this together. I know I speak for my brother Theuns, as well. I will personally see to it that you receive one of the very first copies of the game when it comes off the production line so that you can share it with your family — especially that wonderful new little girl of yours. And we can’t wait to send out all the rewards awaiting those who also support the project at whatever level they are able and see fit.
All the very best to you, my friend -
