A couple weeks ago my good friends Janice Kane (and Luanne Smith) approached with an idea that I couldn't resist. Janice is an Independent Stylist with stella & dot, which is a reputable jewelry company. Janice offered to have a "Trunk Show/Fundraiser" on behalf of my family. All the proceeds (100% of the sales) would go towards my family. And on top of that, since I would be the hostess, I would reap the benefits of earning hostess money in which I would use towards free jewelry :) So it's a win, win situation for me. The reason Janice wanted to do this for me (because remember, she gets absolutely nothing out of it) was to help me out in any way that she could. Janice and Luanne came for a visit a few weeks ago and immediately wrote to me with this offer, saying that they had somebody else throughout the company doing a fundraiser through stella & dot and she thought this would be a great idea to help out the Marks. She almost felt helpless in the fact that she couldn't take me to doctor appointments, couldn't come visit me more often, etc., so after wracking her brain she came up with this. Believe me, it was hard for me to accept this very generous offer, but I knew how much it meant to Janice and I also knew how much we could use the help! SDI cut us off last month, and now it's a waiting game as to when we'll get our Social Security and Disability Retirement money. It's a shame that when you're at your worst, things don't always get better, but sometimes even more challenging. I try and keep my chin up because it doesn't do any good to wallow in self pity, right? Besides, I know that God will come through for us and he must think I have mighty strong shoulders if he keeps on giving me things that he knows I can handle. On that note, please visit the stella & dot website and see if there's anything you like. Remember that Christmas is right around the corner! So if you don't shop for yourself, think of all of those people on your christmas list who would love a nice piece of jewelry, and you'd be helping out a family in need at the same time.
