What's Your 50?

Looking for a YOU-nique way to celebrate your 50th birthday? Veronica did and it filled her with JOY! She wrote: “I’ve learned in life that my greatest joys have been when I give. I collected 50 new bras for the Center Against Sexual & Family Violence which was close to my heart. Before donating my bras I was there volunteering & confirmed as I sorted the donated clothes there were no bras for the women in the piles because they do not take them used. It confirmed that my focus on brand-new bras was a great choice. I am the daughter of a battered woman & it meant so much to me to be able to get these donations as my birthday gift the donate. My mother passed last year & I miss her so much. I wanted to give & honor her as well on my 50th birthday. I gift-wrapped them & placed an inspirational note inside. I hope it brought a light to them. I have learned that my greatest inspiration & joy is focusing on others, not myself. The wisdom that comes with age.” What's YOUR 50? Maybe it's donating 50 bras to empower women. #WhatsYour50 #WY50 #WYFifty #WhatsYourFifty #donation #giveback #empowerwomen

Nothing beats a pick-me-up from your boss with some words of encouragement. 😎 Kiersten wanted to thank her hospital staff for their fearless dedication to their patients, so she put together care packages for her team.

Your 50 could put a BIG SMILE on your staff and give them the incentive to work even harder. What's Your 50?

Let's DONATE those unused business clothes. How often are you getting dressed up for work? Not nearly as much as we used to, right?! So let's SPRING CLEAN our closets and SHARE those coats, slacks, ties, belts, dresses, and shoes with those seeking employment. Where can you donate? Many college campuses collect business clothing for their students so that they can be ready for that perfect job interview. Lots of local charities offer dress-for-success business wardrobes too!
