mission suit drive= 2 days away!

yes, i know, i can't believe it either! the suit drive is only TWO days away! and i've got some last minute things to do still :)

planning this drive has opened my eyes...while we humans have our flaws, we want to do good. it's like people might not know the hows or wheres to giving generously but when you put something in front of them that enables them to give back, they take it and run. in the right direction, too. so many people have already contributed to this drive- we have collected 32 suits (full suits, blazer and pants/skirt set), 8 business skirts, 10 blouses, 4 slacks, 4 dresses, 4 handbags. and the drive hasn't happened. and people that didn't necessarily contribute a suit want to help too. we have 4 restaurants that are giving coupons to all the people that donate and a jewelry store (www.hersoutherncharm.etsy.com) that is giving a 5% discount if you donate to the suit drive. and then there's all the people that have given their time, energy, thoughts, etc to make this suit drive happen...it's truly amazing how so many want to be a part of something good. and this is good. :)

it might be that this drive has given some of you a chance to rid your closet of the old so that you may purchase some new. or it may be that some of you have been in the same position as the women who have been helped by Attitudes & Attire (tm), and you know how these women feel and what they need. and then others caught the giving bug and just want to give, give, give because it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. whatever the reason, we all deep down inside want to help others and to do good things. i like this. we don't always do good things, and we have moments of greediness and an un-giving spirit, but innately, i think we really do want to help. we are wonderfully and fearfully made and i praise our god for this.

if that don't make ya feel great, i just don't know what will.

catch the giving bug too and head on over to the SUIT DRIVE on SATURDAY!!!
