It doesn't pay to be a fussy eater if you're going to a third world country

And after todays positive outcomes.... I'm starting to believe that's where I'm headed.

Where to start?......


Great News Part: 1
When I opened up my email this morning, I opened what I can only describe as one of the most motivating pieces of news I've had so far on this journey.  As previously mentioned I took a punt and contacted Jamie Fitzgerald via LinkedIn.  It felt great getting a reply and he was pretty encouraging in his response, so I decided to just give him a few more details, to which he has now replied.  I feel honored that he's taken a look at my Facebook page as well as this blog.  He's agreed if times fit into his schedule he will come to the auction and talk and even meet me for a coffee and give me some guidance.  This guy is a legend, the fact that he took the time to reply made my day, his offers of support moved me to tears.  I urge you to check out his website.

As I've said before this is the time for shameless self promotion, so I headed out to start knocking on some doors and see who is prepared to help the Tall Blonde Chick that need to get to Kenya.  So I stopped in at the offices of the designer fashion label High Society that I pass daily, I met with their Marketing Manager, Claudette and sure enough High Society are happy to donate an outfit for the auction. 

How great is that? And whilst I was browsing the webpage of HSL before adding it to my blog it felt wonderful to read the following, the ethos of their company resonated with me on a whole new level.  

Celebrating 50 years of inspiring woman to live their lives with confidence, style and grace; HSL prides itself on:

• Developing long term relationships
• Reinvention and continuous improvement
• Nurturing its people
• Promoting from within

Great News Part: 3

Like I've already mentioned, on Friday I received a message via Facebook from Jenni Franich offering their support in the shape of Pandora Jewellery.

Today I made it into the store, this alone is always a very special treat, whenever you arrive at this award store you are made to feel like you're the most important person to walk through the doors.  Jenni shot out the back only to appear with a fully made up Pandora gift bag, with  rrp $350:00 worth of fantastic product for me to put up for auction.  When I sneaked a peak, she has very cleverly chosen an African themed the bracelet and beads.

Again: Thank You doesn't seem to be nearly enough, but Thank You and my promise to work my butt off in Kenya is all I can offer.  Asante to all those that have helped me so far....
