Loved working with these sweet sisters who have brought hope + joy to others through their loss.

Advent Acts of Kindness, Day 4: Today was a bittersweet day, friends. We had the honor and privilege of helping dedicate Katie's Wing, a beautifully redone area at Place of Hope homeless shelter that will help give homeless women and kids a place to live. It's named in honor of our dear sister and friend Katrina, who died 11 years ago after a 5-year battle with breast cancer. The funds raised by our family's foundation and the generosity of so many others in the community led to this day. On the way home, Elise asked why I was crying. "Why do you think I was crying?" I asked her. She paused -- "Because auntie Katrina died. And because this will help so many people. So it's both joyful and sad." Wisdom from a 6-year-old. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Thank you for being part of our sorrow and our joy, friends.

(PS Did you see that we're collecting journals for the ladies that will live on the wing for our finale?! Details are in the video posted today, and we will give more info on the blog, too).
