I understand the need for the social sharing widgets, but they feel really obtrusive at the top of the page. Presumably at that point of reading the page you don't yet know what it is you're being asked to share?

I dunno, this is probably my personal preference more than a professional opinion, but I would suggest moving them below the example image.

Best of luck, it looks like a great inspirational tool!

Thanks for the feedback. :) I've made it prominent for now in hopes that it's clear how people can help the project - share so we can get lots more inspirational stories, but if it gets more annoying than useful, I'll move it. Thanks! And thanks for the encouragement! :)
