Helping Haiti, it's been an honor

There are times when I'm very grateful for the things and people in my life. Despite the growing pit in my stomach over graduating this May, I can honestly say that I have a great many wonderful things in my life. It is on these occasions that "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall plays in my head as I roll my Spanx tights up my legs and slide my feet into heeled boots, just the way that the cast of The Devil Wears Prada does during the intro. Surely you've seen the film, and therefore you know that the girls in the movie are said to have "the job a million girls would die for." And perhaps it's true, I get up each day to work for two women that are truly living their dream. I can attest to the pride they take in their work, as well as how hard they work behind the scenes for their achievements, but more than that even, just how grateful they are for the opportunities they've had to create, succeed in and share their dream with others. And so, when tragedy strikes others, it is an honor for us to do our part to help others to rebuild their lives, their homes and their dreams.

In an attempt to aid those less fortunate or in need, we try to take all opportunities to support charities, causes and those who make it their mission to help others. Just recently, an entire country was struck by tragedy when a natural disaster took many lives and destroyed countless others. Haitian men, women and children are coping with a loss that many of us cannot even imagine. Orphans are being uprooted and transported to other countries, out of the disaster zone and to safe, happy havens.

Those who remain though will struggle through physical and emotional pain and depend on the aid of neighboring countries and of the world's most powerful nations. In an attempt to do our part, 10% of this weekend's sales (Friday through Sunday) will be donated through the American Red Cross to victims of the Haitian earthquake.

Relief comes in many forms, and we are so very appreciative for those of you who in-store or online purchases this weekend for your helpinig us to help Haiti.

Thank you,

Brianne
