What If

Sigh. You all overwhelm me. 

Honestly. 

If it was just me doing the work of JustOne it would be nothing. It is each and every one of you - making a purchase, sharing the stories, helping out behind the scenes and contributing where you can with what you can. 

So when I posted about the 40 Dress Campaign I shouldn't have been nervous - you are all amazing and supportive and love our artist partners. But I was nervous. What if people didn't get the vision? What if I announce this idea - and everyone shrugs their shoulders and moves on to the next thing in their newsfeed. What if... 

But I guess that's it. Doing crazy acts of love, moving towards the world we want for our children, and offering a hand up is full of "What Ifs". But there is one "What If" that motivates me more than any other. 

What if I did nothing? 

So, I swallowed my "What if no one supports the 40 Dress Campaign" and replaced it with "What if I don't share my idea?" And I knew I had to do it. 

And, you "got" the vision. The response has been overwhelming and so beautiful. People thanking us for this opportunity. But wait - we want to thank you. And the artists want to share their thankfulness. But you also want to thank them for all they do. It's a crazy thankful circle! 

I have to share with you the response we received this morning from our artist partners in Uganda. We had waited to tell them that they would each be receiving a new dress until we knew it would be a reality. Today was the day to tell them. I sent them a video explaining we think they are so beautiful and have such incredible worth and we wanted to celebrate them. I think you'll be able to tell by their response how they feel.... (warning it's loud).
