...I found my passion yesterday...
Monday, October 17, 2011 at 2:29PM Yesterday I found my passion, aside from photography, of course! I am co-founder of a networking group called P.I.N.C.S. (Proponents In Networking for Cancer Survivors) and yesterday we held a Fashion Show Fundraiser (En Vogue For The "V") to raise money for the Breast Cancer Network of WNY. The entire day was very heart felt and emotional! During my opening welcoming speech, I caught myself several times getting choked up and having to stop for a moment to re-gain my composure! This is something that has NEVER happened to me before, not like that anyways.
As the day progressed and I spoke with people and listened to their stories, I felt at home with everything and everyone. I just loved the feeling that I had throughout the whole day.
We had a small turnout but the day was simply FANTASTIC! We got news coverage, which was HUGE!!! The stories that were told by breast cancer survivors simply take your breath away! I wish I could post some of the photos I took yesterday, but I didn't take a single photo! I just took in the whole experience and let it carry me through the day!
This was a learning experience, to say the least, we know what to do differently for the next one, but most importantly, we ended the day in success!
I hope all who read this will stay tuned for future events that we will be hosting, including women's wellness seminars and workshops and of course, our fashion show event will be an annual one, so I hope everyone will make it to the next one!!!!
