Day 274
I have a little baking business
I initially started to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk. Three years and two walks later,
business is booming. Let Them Eat
Cake’s grown to include parties, classes, weddings and specialty cakes, cupcakes
and cookies. A portion of all
profits continues to go to charity.
Today’s random act isn’t random
to anyone who knows me. A friend
calls to ask if I can bake something for Volley for A Cure, a volleyball
tournament and auction to benefit breast cancer research. I don’t hesitate for a minute.
A neighbor once asked me what
motivated me to raise money for breast cancer. “Does it run in your family?” she asks, thinking this will
explain my commitment to this particular cause in a world full of wonderful
causes.
No, I answer. It runs in women.
Whether it be raising money for
breast cancer research, offering to watch a child so a mom can go alone to the
grocery store or lifting another woman up with kind words, the outcome is the
same: we girls need to stick together.
Women have always been the stronger sex. Think what we can do if we band together.
