Business Cards and Beyond...

“A great victory is the end result of many smaller triumphs.” –I’m sure someone said it sometime

Today’s triumph: business cards.
Tomorrows victory: traveling to Ukraine.

It seems like such a small thing…business cards. But to me, it is more than just a piece of paper, it is a culmination of hundreds of hours of choosing a name, developing a tag line, formulating a mission, utilizing social media, designing a website and logo, coming up with responsibilities, growing to a 600+ organization actively participating with two domestic violence shelters in Utah County and four in Ukraine.

It represents the triumph of existing for one year. It represents the victory of authenticity.

So Kristy Ashworth, Jesse Moore (our photographer…check out his stuff at www.iconmemories.com) and I are going to Ukraine tomorrow. It will be a grueling 24-hour trip there. We are visiting four shelters and then an action packed 10 days. We are going to be donating funds and supplies that we have collected over the last year and bring it all together.

This victory is because of your triumphs. Thank you so much for your support and wish us good graces as we travel to Ukraine to get our feet on the ground!!

Yours truly,
