An unexpected sweet surprise happened yesterday. Those can be the most fun since it gives a genuine reaction. I was sending out the official notecards to the selected nominees for the Woman of the Year Award that is part of Rouge Awards. I've been doing this for 5 months now with various other categories and I enjoy talking to the nominees.
I have been a charity supporter since I started Second Life back in 2011. I got the chance to do more however once I became a designer. The first charity I donated a large amount of linden to was The Michael J. Fox Foundation better known as Creations Park in Second Life in 2014 and been friends with the lovely owner Barbie Alchemi ever since.
We got to talking and I asked if there was a shop opening possibly because I would love to contribute with my brands. To my luck there was an opening and it was the perfect store to. However to my surprise I was completely caught of guard (in a very good way) she offered me a job as the Fashion Manager for the shopping areas. I didn't even have to think about it I automatically said yes. Some might think I'm a bit crazy if they were to find out how much work I already do. What some may not understand is this isn't work for me, it's my passion.
Now I get to work for the two biggest charities in Second Life and am so proud of that. I honestly do not know anyone else who does so I count myself very blessed and honored I get to lend my hand to both. I plan on doing my absolute best and bring an entire upgrade to the shopping area. This will take time and careful planning as the Creation's Park team has never had such help before but I do feel they should still be proud for all they have created.
