Let’s take a little breather from all the model talk and contemplate inner beauty (never forget that it’s the most important kind!).
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, when so many suffered and so many reached out to help neighbors and strangers, there is no better time to honor the people in our communities who help out all year long, whether in the midst of a natural disaster or not. Here is my Light a Fire article from Westport, Greenwich, New Canaan-Darien, Stamford, and Fairfield Living magazines.
LIGHT A FIRE 2012: A Celebration of Giving
As we approach the holidays, most of us start thinking about giving—what we’ll buy for our loved ones, what we want in return. But that’s not the case for the Fairfield County model citizens profiled in these pages. They give all year long. They give time, money, talent and pieces of their heart. They give to their towns and they give to strangers oceans away. They want something in return but it’s nothing you can buy in a store. They want the feeling of swelling pride when they see a child in Kenya sit in the schoolhouse they built. They want to cheer when their basketball program turns an inner-city teen into a star, both on the court and off. They want to see a girl with nothing smile like she has everything, even if for just one strut down a runway. They want to light a fire of philanthropy and watch it spread across our privileged county like a river of gold for the soul. Congrats, winners! We’re proud to call you our neighbors.
