Just like a pebble thrown into a still lake creates ripples so our actions create ripple effects. Today I want to share with you a pretty amazing story that began years ago and is still having repercussions. I heard about an amazing woman, Sheena from The Uniform Project, who had worn the same dress for a year and styled it differently to raise money for children’s education in India. My thought, “Wow that’s really neat but I could never do that!” Ha! God has a sense of humor. A few months later I was planning to wear the same dress for 100 days…mmmhmmm. But when I didn’t reach my original goal I kept fundraising. And brought in some more people to help me by doing the 12 days of Christmas project. One of the lovely ladies, my lords a leaping, from 2011 is making her own waves now and I couldn’t be more happy or proud of what she has done. For her senior high school project 17 year old Molly put on a fashion show and a silent auction! Yes, you heard me right. She decided to continue using fashion to raise money for our kiddos in India! Can I get an Amen!?! It was pretty incredible to go be able to watch all of her hard work pay off. I have a huge update for you all because of Molly’s love, dedication, and hard work that she has been pouring into this for over a year. It makes me excited that other people are catching a vision to help orphans and that they are doing something about it. AH.MAZE.ING. Someone pinch me. I’m not dreaming right? This one thing that I definitely want to be “contagious”. Molly, I’m so SO proud of you. I really can’ say that enough. I know it wasn’t easy, but you persevered. I love how you got friends and family to model and that everything was donated. Only you could get a whole team to make you that incredible runway. You’re an inspiration dear. THANK YOU! The orphans thank you too…

(It’s a happy numbered post today for those of you who know me and have been reading my blog you get what I mean!)
