The Luckiest Penny App and World-Wide Movement!

Can a Penny CHANGE the World?

Hello Friends! My name is Deborah Weed and I am the Founder of The Self-worth Initiative and creator and producer of The Luckiest Penny!

Did you know that a 1943 D, pure copper penny, could be worth over a MILLION DOLLARS! When I discovered that in 2009, it occurred to me that if a penny could be worth over a million dollars, then what are each of us worth? This easy to understand concept was the perfect way to empower young kids to have self-worth!

I went on to create a highly successful book, The Luckiest Penny and an all original interactive musical that was preformed for thousands of kids and their families in Miami and New York. Then COVID hit and it was impossible to do live shows. So now, with your help, we will be turning this winning formula into a dynamic app and global movement to insure that the future generation knows their worth!

Here's our vision for the app! Just like moms sneak veggies into meals for their picky eaters, The Luckiest Penny app will disguise powerful life lessons as pure entertainment. While your child or grandchild learns, sings, dances and plays, they're also learning about self-worth and inner value.

The Luckiest Penny shares the extraordinary tale of two rare 1943 D copper pennies. Though they seem ordinary and perhaps even worthless, these pennies are actually worth over a million dollars because they were created by mistake. This captivating story serves as a perfect analogy for children who struggle with self-worth. Like these rare pennies, they might feel insignificant, but they are truly unique and invaluable.

In a vibrant world brimming with magic, uplifting messages, and enchanting music, The Luckiest Penny guides children to discover that their worth isn't defined by appearances or mistakes but by their unique and irreplaceable qualities.

The Luckiest Penny is more than just an animated musical video and upcoming app. It’s a WORLD-WIDE MOVEMENT designed to empower, inspire, and unite people through the simple act of giving kids self-worth. We believe that EVERY CHILD and EVERY PENNY COUNTS and that together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world. Join us in making each penny THE LUCKIEST PENNY, one that CHANGES lives and spreads HOPE.

Deborah Weed is a whirlwind of creativity and motivation, passionately championing self-worth through her Self-worth Initiative. Her mission? To help families and their kiddos live authentically, energetically, and joyously! Deborah's journey began with a personal crisis: after dazzling in high-profile roles like working on a $26 million pavilion for KIA Motors and being Citibank's Director of Development for 19 branches, FL, she faced a misdiagnosis that left her bedridden for three years.

Her discovery of a 1943 copper penny worth a million dollars turned her perspective around— if a "worthless" penny could be so valuable, so could she! Inspired, Deborah wrote and produced The Luckiest Penny, an interactive musical that teaches kids about self-worth. It is now being turned into an animated musical video, App and world-wide movement.

Her creative endeavors don’t stop there; she’s authored several books including Paisley’s Last Quill, launched the empowering QUILL POWER MOVEMENT for young girls, and inspired thousands through her musicals in Florida and New York. Her latest book, IF ONLY, transforms her recent challenges into a tale of hope for adults. As a motivational speaker, Deborah brings fun and inspiration to everyone, proving that self-worth is a joyful, transformative adventure.
