While attending a fundraiser for a charitable foundation a couple off nights ago, I managed to get one of my feet tangled in a chair leg.
Suddenly my life went into slow motion as I lost my balance and fell(or really on my arm and rolled) flat on my back. Unfortunately I had tried to break the fall with my left wrist. The result is a painful sprain. I am lucky that it was not much worse.
The event overall was lovely. The foundation that was created was done by a delightful 16 year old. So, what were you doing when you were Sixteen?
She was a product of an abusive father. Instead of engaging in a life of "pity me!", she has studied a lot and created a way to reach out to other victims of abuse. The foundation is named Beautifully Made. It has a website if you want further information.
The evening was filled with inspiration, songs of encouragement, a sit down dinner and a silent auction. I hope it raked in some serious cash!
Aside from falling on my back, the entire experience was truly uplifting .
If what this young lady has accomplished is any sign of what the current teens can accomplish, the country is in better shape than I thought!
