I'd like to take a step back today from being a Holiday Junkie and share another project close to my heart. The Shimmer, Sparkle, Shine Project is the brainchild of my daughter Ciara. I'm blessed to be on the board and work very hard at helping spread the message. Today is a special day, as we host our first Self-Worth Awareness day. So please take a few minutes and see what the SSS project is all about.
Today, we are spreading the message on 5 college campuses, in 3 states and on Facebook to as many people as possible. But ultimately, it starts with just one person...YOU!
If you'd like to take the pledge, Like us on Facebook. Share a photo or make a video to share what makes you Shimmer, Sparkle, Shine. If you join us later then 2-26-14, that's fine, our love and message will continue.
And why does the Shimmer, Sparkle, Shine Project do what we do?? To reach as many young girls as possible and let them know, that regardless of what they've been told, now matter how different they are, no matter what size they are, no matter their background, they are worth loving. We want to help them to realize their own individual worth and divine potential.
Tonight we were blessed with the opportunity to spend an hour with some senior citizens in a local assisted living facility. The simple act of caroling and spending 45 minutes entertaining them, was a highlight of their day, as well as mine. I walked away, again humbled and reminded of how such a small action can make the difference in someones holiday season. I'll keep my message simple tonight, but in doing so, I ask you to stop and think what you have to offer a senior citizen this holiday season. Do you know someone that could benefit from 30minutes of your time? If you don't have someone that comes to mind immediately, I suggest you seek out that someone. The smiles tonight were priceless!
