How we can change someones world

YEAH!!!!!! The grand opening was a HUGE success!!! Thank you to all of you who came and CELEBRATED with us, thank you to everyone who reposted our blog, and the event and shared it with their friends!!!! Without all of you none of this would of happedned!!!
We all had a lot of FUN, ate way to many DELICIOUS goodies, and Jamie made us the most mouth watering decadent cake pops!!! Lots of LAUGHTER, great conversation, and just a WONDERFUL day!
We gave away a ton of PRIZES, FREE GIFTS, and lots of stuff!!
So what's next?
Well we have GREAT plans!!!
My heart is being rung out like a sponge, there is such a need in our world and in our community. I know I can not change the world but I can change the world for one person, and that is what matters to me.
So this is why I do the things I do, make the plans I make, dream the dreams I dream and run my buisness the way I do. The salon to me is not just a salon, but a place where restoration of our hearts takes place.
So here we go!!!!
Last week I posted up an email on Facebook about some disabled orphans who hadn't eaten in days and you all responded with overpouring LOVE!!! and we collected about 30 bucks to buy the biggest bag of rice!!!! thank you!!
Now we are building a relationship with The Beacon House, a shelter here in Eau Claire serving famailies who are homeless, they can stay for 30 days while they find a place to live and put back together the peices of their lives.
We raised $98.50 for them at the grand opening!!! Thank you!!!!
Tonight was the first night we had the residents to the salon for complimentary haircuts and a meal. Every month we will serve them at the salon. I know that if I was in that situation a nice relaxing shampoo massage, a new haircut and beautiful blowout would make me feel so much better and restore a bit of dignity and self worth.
Last but not least art classes will be starting in a few weeks, watch for the postings on the blog and on Facebook!
Thank you for being a part of something bigger than me, bigger than all of us! This journey is an exciting one and I'm so HAPPY you are all a part of it!!!
