Finding my Purpose.....are you ready????

Last year, as I was unemployed, I was deep into soul searching. I also was on my 80th day of a 100 day project where I was dedicated to painting everyday. I realized I really missed selling, more then I appreciated having the time to make something everyday. Because, in the end I just accumulated 80 things that I didn't know what I was going to do with. Then the lightbulb went off, and I realized I really needed a purpose. So, once I started back to work, I felt so much better. Especially, since part of my job is organizing events, and selling a brand who is collaborating with so many good companies and causes. Today, at Vera Bradley in Freehold Raceway Mall, I have organized an event to thank our first responders, nurses, teachers, medical workers and military. It is not just a reminder of the 15% appreciation discount we give every day. But, it also is a one day only discount of $20 off a $75 regular priced purchase. And, we have a sale on our recycled cotton. Most of our bags will be made with recycled cotton made from water bottles. Also, I am working on invites (anyone reading this is invited) on a special shopping event on May 6th to benefit Mary's Place by the Sea in Ocean Grove. It feels really good to have more of a purpose in life. I hope to see you at one of these events. If you can't come in person you can always call the store with an order.
