helping hearts | helping haiti

As I mentioned in my last post, Haiti has been heavy on my heart. One of the things I have realized in recent months is how important it is to use our talents to help people. I believe each one of us was gifted with something that we can use to bless others, and that we should do so. I could volunteer for a telethon or help gather clothes for the survivors of Haiti (and I will), however, I am over the top excited to announce this contest as a way to help raise money for Haiti and specifically use my talent at the same time.

Thanks to Lyndsay from Life in Motion Photography and Pinkletoes Photography for launching this campaign that we can all join in on!
