God's blessings unfolding before me
As most of you know, we were hosting a fundraiser/raffle through Lola's Brush. Well this past Saturday we had to cancel because we simply did not sell enough tickets to our event. So, I decided that instead of rallying for another date right away, I'd go get a pedicure and use that gift card I had received from my mother-in law.
It was sooo needed. I was feeling relaxed and calm about everything. I was a tad sad about having to cancel the party, but the leg massage took all that away. While I was sitting back relaxing, Mandy from Lola's Brush called me and texted me so quickly that I barely had a chance to pick up the phone. She had received an inquiry from WCIA News Channel 3 about our party and that even though it was cancelled they wanted to report our story. While we discussed this, I mentioned let's get a new date for our party in case they want to proceed with an interview. That way we can launch the new day and use this as serious publicity.
When I got off the phone, I immediately called Karyn Rodriguez who was the reporter, and went through our story a bit with her. She wanted to do an in-person interview for her 5pm and 10pm spot. Tyler and I agreed, and we had her over at 9am this past Sunday to discuss our journey and thank the local businesses that have donated to our raffle. Luckily, we were able to get a new date in time to plug that into our interview as well.
I was at such a crossroads with our event having to be cancelled and then this interview. God truly guided us and gave us this opportunity to share our story to the public.
