On the board...

Dear Little M,

We're on the board!  As of today, we have collected 253 pounds of food and we have nearly filled an entire institutional-strength shelf in our basement.  We have a long way until we reach our goal...but we started.  I hear that's the hardest part.

....and we have SUPPORTERS!  We have people who not only believe in our crazy....they want to join in.  I always kinda hoped that our stupid, unbridled madness was contagious....

We've received packages of food delivered to our door from our friends in South Carolina, we've received mystery boxes of pasta (and lots of 'em), we've received generous cash donations, we've received all sorts of offers to host parties and drives.  My poor coworkers are probably tired of my haranguing them for food by now....but yet they still give.

We've received support from friends, from family, and from strangers.  

We've received so much support because people are good...even when the world is sometimes ugly.  People are good.  Never forget that.

(**and yes, I know that you are fluent in all sorts of highly creative profanity because of my assessments on the world and the people in it...but even I deep-down believe that people are good.  At least most of them, anyway.)

We've received huge support from two amazingly kick-ass ladies....the Bizzigirls.  The Bizzigirls restlessly and relentlessly work to spread goodness to and throughout our community.    The Bizzigirl premise is that so many of us are simply so fortunate...and that so much goodness can come from spreading the overflow.  And the Bizzigirls have been supporting us---in spreading the word of our mother-daughter mission far and wide, and in generously inviting us to attend their upcoming "pop-up" event on February 6th.  More details to follow...

The Bizzigirls rock....we love our badass good-spreading chicks!  We are so pleased and honored to join them on a leg of their mission....and we are so thankful to everyone who has so far joined us on ours...

(more to follow...like all sorts of updates and event planning)

....but for tonight, it's just thanks....
