There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t recognize and feel tremendously grateful for the wonderful people and things in my life. Some days it’s easier to feel that way than others.
Today was one of those days.
Tomorrow is going to be another one of those days, but slightly different and incredibly important
Together with my NYC Team and The Motherhood, we are going to pay it forward by participating in American Eagle’s Do Good Day in honor of the opening of their new 77Kids stores for children.
77Kids Do Good Day is tomorrow, and 7 bloggers from 11 cities were picked to participate in this amazing event to spread the good. We’re each choosing a charity and handing out 77 dollar bills in our respective cities with labels representing each charity.
The charity I chose is the Children’s Aid Society, which, amongst other amazing things, provides dental clinics (including a mobile dental van) to underprivileged children in NYC’s undeserved neighborhoods. Obviously, this was close to my family’s heart.
So, if you happen to be around Bryant Park tomorrow, come and see us. We’ll be handing out flowers, dollars, and a lot of hope and happiness!
It’s the least I can do to acknowledge the blessings in my life and pay it forward.
