A New Month

Ok, we just got started and it looks like March was a good month. I have a new idea that goes along with my plan. I am going to visit Friendship Park (a homeless shelter in Sacramento) to see if they might need some new paint or trees. Maybe even some help, which takes just a drive over and no money necessary. I will let everyone know what comes of that.
One more thing, I talked to an old friend last night who I hadn't talked to in years and it was like we were talking every day. I realized that sometimes you run into people when they need it the most. Sometimes you lose touch with people and sometimes things change in their lives like they have kids or they may move to a new town. At the right moment, you run into that person again. I may not have bought her a sleeping bag, or bought her a new tire. What I did was to listen when she needed it most. Sometimes all it takes to effect change is to take the time to treat someone with the love and respect they deserve as a member of the human race.

Spreading the Word

I have been talking about this blog lately and people have really responded with enthusiasm about the project. I told a couple of my customers and employees and they said anyone can make a difference. My husband told people at his work and they said that people would not go for it because they wouldn't get anything out of it. I think helping others is what you get out of it. Knowing that your dollor went to a sleeping bag instead a bottle of booze. You also gave a dolloar to help someone in need of a place to stay for the night, clothes for their kids back, or food in their stomachs.
