An unexpected new passion

As many of you know, our lives have changed pretty drastically over the past 4 months (if you aren't up to date check out older posts).  I am continually being molded and shaped throughout this process and continue to seek out how I can "care for widows and orphans" and be a part of social justice around the world.

I had the opportunity to host a Noonday party recently through a friend Erin Moffett as a way to raise money for our adoption.  Before I go any further, let's rewind for a minute...my whole life I have been VERY ANTI JEWELRY PARTIES (not totally sure why).  In fact when my sister originally asked me to co-host with her I said no because I didn't want to be a hypocrite.  But after researching the company a bit more I said yes to the party and my life was changed!  We hosted the party and I fell in love with not only the jewelry but the stories behind it and the company as a whole.  So much so that I have decided to partner with the company and become a Noonday Ambassador so that I can host the shows and educate others about how we are able to use our purchasing power for good.  The company helps lift people out of poverty around the world by paying fair wages and each piece comes with the artisan's story.  Not only that but if you or someone you know is adopting you can host an adoption show (how I fell in love with the company) where 10% of all proceeds go to the adopting family! 

I, myself, cannot believe that I'm doing this BUT I am so excited to embark on something that empowers women around the world (and admittedly has nothing to do with kids with cancer;).  I would love for you to join me in this journey by hosting a party or you can go to www.haleykoning.noondaycollection.com and check out the amazing things that people around the world are creating, there are some amazing things!
