Reformed tomboy, for a good cause

Don't get me wrong, there are moments when I enjoy being a girly-girl, but they are few. I'm the kind of girl who loves sinking her fingers in the soil and doesn't mind sitting in a goat pen to let the babies use me as a jungle gym. Most days, my hair is in a ponytail and I'm lucky to keep my fingernails clean and filed. (And I have been known to rectify the aforementioned with my pocketknife if I get to town and realize they have dirt under them.)

So, it was with a certain amount of amusement I agreed to co-host a Jamberry nail wrap party to raise money for Project Liberty and our current fundraiser, Liberty for Anna. (We're at 34% of our goal so far!)

How did this Jamberry party come to be? The incomparable Galit Breen (who is now a Bootkrope author!) messaged me and her friend Rachel Frost saying "You're both women of faith and you both fight human trafficking... I feel with every fiber of my being that maybe something great can happen from threading the two of you together. So. Here we are! Discuss."

That eventually led to a collaboration and this weekend's fundraiser. So, I'm going to take these nails:

... and I'll turn them into something pretty. Something, I daresay, feminine, for a good cause. I'll document my progress as I go. That's the plan, anyway!

How can you help? I'm glad you asked!

1. Join the party here: https://www.facebook.com/events/851252234930927
2. Invite a friend
3. Treat yourself to a mani/pedi by ordering from the party this weekend, knowing that all of Rachel's proceeds go to fight human trafficking. (1/2 to "Anna" and 1/2 to an organization she works with)

After you've done steps 1 & 2, comment in the event to let me know and receive a free ecopy of Ghosts, book 1 of the Vance Davis Dossier.

And be sure to check in throughout the weekend for chances to win more books!
