Unless it’s the shoes I happen to be wearing today. Don’t be too jealous that the girl from Iowa has hotter kicks than you. I digress. The time has come for our lovely little blog to start floating it’s way to heaven. With a tear glistening in my eye, I’m announcing that on June 25th, The Urban Couture will be no longer with us. Instead it will be starting fights with the angels up above.
Stay tuned, though, because until then, it’s balls out.
Don’t be too jealous you didn’t get one.
If you haven’t peeped this yet, it’s a hot hit. Check out the full article - Epiphany in this week’s Ad Age!!!
So, our dear friend Donna heads this up:
And of course after reading about how Facebook is the most terrible thing on the planet see below post), you should join this group on there. Other than making you feel good about yourself, you can help!! A snipet of what this is about:
This evening at 8:23 pm a plane carrying the Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi was shot down. Less than and hour later @ 9:15 pm the killing began. Over the next 100 days 1 million people were killed. Imagine, in a country the size of Maryland 10,000 people a day killed (mostly by machete) for 100 days. We are setting aside that same 100 days to do try to replace that duration of horror with acts of goodness. Our mission is simple. We pair 10 orphaned and abandoned kids with a widow to be their Mom, adding 2 aunties we create a family. These are not orphanages, these are truly homes. Kids that will be ours for our lifetime - extensions of our family. Thus far we’ve built 3 homes and care for 30 kids. I have personally witnessed lives transformed over the past 3 years that we’ve been working on this effort. 30 kids that have gone from living on the street and wondering where their next meal might come from and when it might come…to being top performers in school and dreams of being President. So much more to share over the next 100 days. Next is to build the 4th home. Consider joining our page on facebook too - New Hope Homes, Rwanda. More over the next 100 days. Thanks to Jim B who shared our story on the radio this morning.
