2022 is right around the corner..what better way is there than to join a team that is BLESSING OTHERS in more than one way. So in addition to getting back on track with feeding the homeless in 2022, I am proud to say that I am now a board member of Desmond's Heart. This is a non-profit that began out of grief/the loss of loosing a son. This Father, Seve Graydon turned his grief into being a blessing to others that are grieving as well. Please like, follow, share...Desmond's Heart. You can also download the app.

What a great way to describe "generous people"...

Although many people wrap up self-worth in net worth (as if a person’s true value could ever be tallied on a balance sheet!), generous people find their value in helping others. They quickly realize that their bank statement says nothing about their true value.

Because of this, they have less desire for more. They have found fulfillment, meaning, value, and relationships outside the acquisition of possessions.

They have learned to find joy in what they already possess and give away the rest. In other words, they have found contentment.

As Thanksgiving & Christmas approach we are reminded the most "to be thankful, grateful & to give back". For the last 2 years due to the pandemic, Common Hearts has not been able to feed our souls by doing what we love most -- to give back. My prayer for 2022 is to get back to the "paying if forward" lifestyle that we had before Covid.
The virus is still alive & affecting people so going forward we must adjust to ensure our safety as well as others.
▪️Wearing a mask at all times will be required
▪️Hand sanitizing stations
▪️We need to discuss what the meals will be, now that we have a New Norm
▪️Reach out to friends/family to recruit "volunteers"
▪️I think starting back up in Feb 2022 is good timing

Let me know your thoughts & ideas

My g-baby Braxton said Nonnie, it's time for Christmas! I normally knock it out on Black Friday yet I must oblige my sweetness! Here's to my start, a tree up with lights and fluffing on going! Family room down!! Outside, exterior decor, the 2nd Christmas tree to come and trimmings for both trees! He's going to be so excited tonight when he comes home!!

It's beginning to LOOK alot like Christmas, everywhere we go!!! I love the spirit of Christmas, Christ is the reason!! 🎄 🎄

SELFLESSNESS AT IT'S FINEST:
Her act of kindness was on full display Saturday when she removed her crown and placed it on the head of her friend and classmate Brittany Walters, according to photos and videos posted online. Brittany’s mother, an esteemed employee at the Brooklyn, Miss., high school, had died from cancer just hours earlier

“I literally get chill bumps EVERY time I read about and see the photos of this beautiful moment of pure, unadulterated love!!!” a Facebook user posted.

GOD I HEAR YOU.....this is 4th time in the last 3 months that I have met the most humble, God fearing, heart on fire for loving people - women. I still have not heard GOD'S voice crystal clear as to what he is telling me through these women. I know without a doubt that these women are your Warriors! What I don't know is why I KEEP MEETING THEM. It wasn't my tshirt this time....I actually approached her as she was getting into her car.
Miss Linda is an advocate for the homeless, motivational speaker & loves the Lord. I was able to give her a few hand warmers that I had in my car which were donated to me. I plan to met her tomorrow morning with more items for the homeless. Even though I haven't been "in the streets" to serve the homeless community since Covid, it doesn't mean I can't help through another one of God's Angels on Earth❣

I always meet the most sweetest, non-judging, see no color GOD fearing "seasoned women"....I was on my way to my hair appt & decided to stop by Dollar Tree. I was in hurry & jumped out the car without my mask. Once I realized it, I ran back to the car to get it. I hear a woman yelling at me from the passenger side of the car next to me. She said..."I love your license tag, I love your tshirt & love your smile. And that mask cannot hide the love I see in you".
I stopped in my tracks & was at a lost for words. I politely thanked her and went back into the store. When I came out this time...she was getting out of the car using a walking cane. She walked up to me & said...I hope you don't think this is weird but my spirit is telling me that you are a GOOD WOMAN. And I just had to come meet you. We talked about church, God and how people are so afraid to be up close & personal these days. I told her that I was fully vaccinated & fully ARMORED so I don't fear the virus any longer. She too is fully vaccinated. I asked if I could give her a hug & take this selfie with the hopes of spreading......LOVE A LITTLE MORE!!!
Miss Lugina is 71 years old, a Christian & has the most beautiful, piercing blue eyes I've ever seen. When I complimented her eyes she said I normally have on make up which makes my eyes more pretty😍. I replied , I normally would have my hair done & no unibrow so I guess we were meant to met in our "natural state without the glitz & glam".
We laughed, hugged & said we hope to run into eachother again

As I was giving my new "rescued" plant some loving, I realized that I truly LOVE what society labels as the UNDERDOGS....from the homeless to last chance plants. I immediately go to the "clearance" section before going to the regular priced area.
I find more love & see more love from the homeless than the home-owners!
Before we THROW away something, let's see what a little TLC, food, water, new clothes/pot can do!
Looks like "Vernon" went from being neglected & sitting outside on the "curb (clearance section)" to being a pretty good looking "guy" inside a HOME!!!

In a few more months I will be ready to go back out & love on the UNDERDOGS in Downtown Dallas❤
