Charity begins at naot
decided to make it back to work in a limited role....i choose today because today was the day that out company donates hundreds of sandals and shoes to a local shelter that helps people get back on their feet ..the center is call f.e.g.s........and the event was and is always an amazing experience..the look on these peoples faces when they put on our sandals is priceless ;......one women and swear said....." i was just diagonsed with cancer and these feel so good on my feet that i am taking it as a sign that i am going to be alright".....well a few of us had tears in out eyes (come to think of it where else would we have tears)....other than suzy( co-president) getting her pocketbook stolen i would say it was a sucessful night..imagine that we bring all these shoes in for free and somebody rips us off...people ya gotta love um.........still a little thin and sore but taking those baby steps to get where i am going.....tom

Baby steps, hell anything that keeps you moving forward on this journey. You can't control where it is taking you but I know in my heart you will end up where you are supposed to be, and you will be very happy.
Sorry to hear there was a downside on a day of giving and sharing. I suppose the person that took the bag decided they needed a beautiful accessory to go with their new shoes. Ugh. The giving never ends, huh? Some people...
Love ya and am happy to hear that you were able to join Team Yaleet and help inspire others. It is a wonderful thing they do.
xoxo
