Hello fellow Adventurers! Today, my two little troops and I are headed out to gather up our supplies. I am still teetering in indecision about whether I should keep it simple and just purchase the coats or if I should put together a little "survival pack" of lip-balm, hats, and mittens, too. I guess it depends on how much I end up spending on these coats! My money tree in the backyard somehow caught wind of the "economic crisis" before I could convince it otherwise. :) Really, though, we are so blessed–and to think that some people are shivering during the day and night is just heartbreaking.
The inspiration for this mission was prompted by the heartfelt thought of a friend of mine. She posted this status on Facebook back in Mid-December when it was first getting cold in Charlotte. It has stuck with me and been on my heart since then. I can't imagine something as simple as a sleeping bag or a warm coat being the difference between life and death on any given winter night.
Check back tomorrow for an update on my planning for this adventure!
