Art and Sole
It is a sad day today for this country, and it’s a little difficult to know what to write about on this blog today. As we experience the anniversary of an historic and devastating day, perhaps it’s best to just focus on a positive thought, however silly.
I pick the St Jude Charity Auction hosted by UGG Australia. Every year for the past four years UGG has recruited celebrities to decorate their own unique boot, which is then auctioned off to the highest bidder, along with a signed photograph of the celebrity. Every single penny goes to support the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St Jude’s dedicates itself to finding cures and treatments for debilitating child illnesses, and offers treatment to those who need it without requiring health insurance or payment from those who cannot afford it.
It is a truly beautiful act to be able to give something to those who have so little. I have a great deal of respect for companies and individuals who recognize that if you have some extra, why not give back to a community?
It’s the thoughtful gestures, the little things, that count.
