Life Gave Me These…
Originally uploaded by Fujoshi.

What do you do when just weeks before your wedding you find out your fiancé has been cheating on you?

Make lemonaide out of lemons of course…

Paxman, manager of two food and beverage outlets at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif, turned her misfortune into a charity to benefit women and celebrate their stength in crisis.

She has invited 125 women to the reception planned for this Saturday in Vermont, which will benefit the Vermont Children’s Aid Society and CARE USA.

Paxman was moved by CARE’s “I am Powerful” advertisement on television last weekend that shows hundreds of women from various countries striding across a desert, then zeroes in on four who stare straight into the camera and declare, “I am powerful.”

Best of all, her ex will never live it down. It will be a matter of public record that Paxman was wronged; and moreover, that she took the high road.

Excellent public relations, I couldn’t have done it better myself. Go Kyle, go!
