Someone pinch me. 🤏🥹

Over two years ago, I had an idea to create an ambassador program for @goodwillwny, never imagining that eight seasons later, it would become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. ✨💛

Last night at Goodwill’s 25th annual Pathways to Success event, I had another one of those how is this my life?! moments. 🥲

Not only did I get to spend the evening surrounded by this incredible community of women who have become so much more than ambassadors, but I also got to celebrate the incredible achievements of the graduates of Goodwill’s Goodskills Career Builder program.

And THAT is what makes this work so special.

Getting to witness firsthand the lives being changed, the confidence being built, and the opportunities being created through Goodwill’s mission is something I will never, ever take for granted.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it a million more times: I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to do work that I love, with people I adore, for an organization making such a meaningful impact in our community.

Eleven years into building my business, I still have moments where I look around and think, I can’t believe I get to call this my job.

What a gift. What a community. What a NIGHT. 🥹🤍

Congratulations to all of the graduates and everyone at Goodwill who makes this life-changing work possible. I’m so grateful to be even a small part of it. 🫶

One last Thursday. 🥹

Tomorrow is the final @marketatthemartinhouse of the season, and we’d really love to see you there.

When we started this market, we hoped it could become a place where people could gather on Thursday evenings—to shop from local farmers and makers, grab dinner, listen to music, wander the beautiful @themartinhouse grounds, meet a neighbor, bring a friend, and just spend some time together.

And you showed up. All summer long!

You supported our vendors. You brought your families. You invited your friends and chatted with neighbors. You came hungry, curious, and ready to support local!

You helped turn an idea into a community, and we’re so thankful for you!

So tomorrow, let’s have one more.

Come for dinner. Come shop. Come listen to the music. Come say hello. Come support the people who have spent their summer growing, baking, cooking, making and creating.

Thursday • 4-7 PM
The final outdoor market of the season

Let’s celebrate what we’ve built together, and an incredible first season for this market! We’re so excited to see it continue to grow!

Please like, share, and comment to help us spread the word to this lovely neighborhood we get to be a part of! 🙏

We’ll see you tomorrow.
