Own Your Day >
Day 365. Fri, April 30 2010
Hello, Goodbye
When you’re at a loss for words it's best to defer to the masters. So I’ll pinch from John & Paul, letting you know that when You say Goodbye, I say Hello >
Because to say farewell would not be fair and definitely not make us feel very well.
So while the 365 days have run its course, we’ll be back, after a short break, with something new up our sleeves.
I’d like to add that for all you may feel the U.P has given you this year I can honestly say I’ve received so much more in return. For this I can’t thank you enough.
Finally, please join me in thanking Akanksha for the real heavy lifting – work done relentlessly, day by day, giving children an incredible education & a real future. With barely contained choked up sentiment, we thank you for giving this project its raison d'être.
Until we meet again, keep us in your hearts & minds. You will certainly be in ours.
Love,
Sheena & the U.P crew

What a beautiful way to end this amazing year...just the dress itself. Thank you for the joy, inspiration and art you've given all of us. Enjoy the break and I will be anticipating your return with something fresh! (I hope you received the gift I sent...it instantly made me think of you when I saw it.)

Lovely and simple for the last day. I almost teared up reading this, you have been such an inspiration to me and everyone else who has been following this, both fashion-wise and because of your determination to help those kids. Well done, you're amazing! :)

<3 Hugs and thanks for a beautiful, fun, incredible year. So much great work has been done to put children into school and so many eyes have been opened to new possibilities - making a difference in a child's life, rethinking our wardrobe without adding to it, repurposed and recycled clothes and accessories rather than buying new...just so many things that I could go on about. Thank you for everything you've done over this last year - I can't wait to see what's coming next. <3

thank you so much for inspiring us! you have made a huge difference in the lives of 218 children, not to mention the countless supporters of your project. we will really miss checking the dailies when we get home from school(and there will no longer be an excuse not to do our homework). thank you so much! p.s. we had a prediction you would wear the dress plain... but our real question is: what will you wear tomorrow???

canadiangirl tagged this bittersweet
Just, plain (but not plain at all!), thank you. I've followed you every day for a year, and my respect for your ideals and creativity has grown each day. The world needs more people like you, Sheena, and the whole UP team - people who aren't afraid to take action to create change! I have to say, though, that I'll miss the peanut gallery (of which I'm proud to call myself a member, even if I didn't write very often) just as much. Take care, everyone! I hope that our commenting community can reconnect in some meaningful way. sniff...

After a year I choose to comment now, on the last day...I couldn't let this leg of the journey end without saying thank you. I've loved every day.

Thank you, thank you thank you. A thousand times thank you. I find the project and the world wide community of followers and people who leave comments and donate money inspiring. UP is evidence all is not lost, that we care and that while we can sometimes get wrapped up in our bubbles of lives we can connect and good things can follow. Congrats, it's been amazing.

While getting ready for the DC Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this morning, I was pondering what you'd do on this final day, and I thought, "I'll bet she'll let the LBD speak for itself...." And you didn't disappoint! What better way to show off the dress that did it all, started it all, worn by the woman who did it all, started it all (with Eliza, of course), by letting it speak for itself?! ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU! I'll keep my eyes on this site for what comes next.... Happy Weekend - will you tell us what you decide to wear tomorrow?!
