As I write this, my son is getting ready for bed and is excited to put his warm, fuzzy jammies on. I hope to join him soon, as I would like nothing better than to be warm and comfy with the satisfaction of a full, productive day behind me. I have experienced a lot of warm fuzzies this week.
Today, I was very fortunate to receive a lot of amazing stuff from a photographer named Scott - somewhat of a rock star in my line of work. He and his wife have committed to raising over $100,000 for charity this year. They choose a different charity each month to put their efforts toward- so long as it pertains to a child. This month, the charity is Maggie, who is in the hospital. Scott has materials and seminars for photographers, and I was able to bid an insanely low amount and get an amazing amount in return - and all the money goes to Maggie. They were able to raise over $2,000 in one day with their efforts! Talk about a warm fuzzy.
It makes me so grateful that my children are healthy. A friend of mine isn't so lucky. Her son, Hyde, has a rare disorder that there is not a cure for. To raise awareness and funds, they are holding the second annual Hike for Hyde on April 17 : http://www.hike4hyde.com/. If you're available, it's a wonderful day for everyone. And you certainly will go to bed with a warm fuzzy - because nothing feels better than being able to help another who could use it.
I'm going to be working with some photographer friends in the near future to do some things for our community. I have a few ideas, but welcome yours. What would you like to see? Is there a charity you'd like me to support? I have lots of ideas! Just call or email me when yu have a moment - I'd love to hear from you.
