Living Your Five

Changing Our World, One Five at a Time

Living Your Five™ is about making the world a better place, one person and one contribution at a time. It’s about understanding what’s most important to you and how you can make a positive difference in the world around you in ways both large and small.

YA author Kay Cassidy founded the inspirational Living Your Five™ web project in partnership with fellow YA authors Tera Lynn Childs and Alyson Noel to create an online community where people from around the globe can come together to share how they’re making a difference in their own piece of the world.

The Founding Fivers began by sharing their Fives with the world. Their Five are the five areas in which they personally want to make a difference in the world. Once a month, they each share the progress they’ve made toward living their Five on their blogs. They share the successes (and the not-so-successes), the obstacles they overcome along the way, and give you a sneak peek into the wild and wonderful things that can happen when you commit to Living Your Five™.

And it’s not just about Kay, Tera and Alyson. It’s about YOU! It’s about everyone working together and cheering each other on as we change our world. As the Fivers’ favorite quote says:

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Kay, Alyson and Tera are ready to be that change. And if you’re ready to embrace your amazing potential, the Fivers want you to be that change too.

“I loved watching Jess transform – to start to see what was inside of her and how to let that out. The conflict, the fantastic characters, the overall fun this book was to read… chick lit isn’t usually my thing, but this is so much more.”
