Giving back

I would like to give a shout out to the lovely ladies of Cocoa Butterflies for showing up and donating so many beautiful items that will help out many women in homeless shelters. I hosted the meet-up at my home, the original idea was to do a social meet-up for the ladies to exchange accessories, as they say one man's trash is another man's treasure. But the idea grew into a community service project, which is what Cocoa Butterflies is all about.
Each person in attendance donated purses, necklaces, bracelets, and other small trinkets that would make a woman feel beautiful. Some of the items were claimed by fellow members, but the vast majority of the items will be donated to a local women's shelter.
It's always great to get together with other like minded women and enjoy each others company with food, wine, and good conversation, all while trying to make a difference in the lives of others.
