I had to really pack them in and squish down so the covers would fit - 690 pairs! *high fives* all around. To my friends, to my neighbors, to my online buddies and acquaintances from near and far, and to those of I've never even exchanged a word with - written or spoken, THANK YOU. I am finishing up the letter that will accompany each bin, then they are hitting the road. The last few that came in....
The gathering of these socks has been such an experience. There is a pink glow where there was once a dark hole. I will continue to write about the winks and all the ripple effects....but now it's time to launch....to spread the love.
The kids started school today. Amazing how they have grown (in August, Fallon turned 13 and Peter turned 18 - a senior!) Amazing that the summer season is over (but not the hot weather!) Amazing that we can be 3/4 of the way through the year and yet still feel like we can start anew. A fresh start for the teachers, students, and parents. New notebooks, fresh pencils, cool folders and cooler shoes.
I'm ready for something new. I'm ready to look forward. I'm ready to say farewell to these pink socks and let the love energy they are wrapped in be released. Deep breath.....
