Reese and Quincy volunteered as Tinkerbell and Princess Aurora at the Down Syndrome Inclusion Walk with Sierra S., Emma W., MaKenzie S., Cadence J., and Emily H. as princesses. They worked the event, hugging and talking with and posing for photos with event attendees.
Our friend Danielle is the board president of the NWA Down Syndrome Connection and we joined many others who walked as part of Bradley’s Bunch “Down Right Perfect”. This boy is so funny and delightful!
And his mama. Well, today was one of those days where I was just happy to be surrounded by such talented and capable and hard working women. They put on an incredible event and I’m so grateful to have friends who choose to do such good things. A friend gave me some advice about 12 years ago to surround myself with women who make the world better. As I watched Dani, Jill, Tia, Cheylee, and so many other wonderful girlfriends who were there serving the community today, I thought, “these girls! They are the “certain women” the Savior describes for those who know abd do his work. They are builders, not breakers. They are compassionate and they SEE needs and get stuff done. They are steadfast and immovable. They are not weary in their well doing. They are women of substance and faith and honor. I’m thankful my daughters got to see their example and had an opportunity to be a part of these good works.
The chinelos dancers were my fave. Inclusion everywhere!
