Huge shout out! And Fest
Wow guys this is beyond
belief! A gigantic, heart-felt shout out to the kind people at HEB.
Especially to Christa who represents HEB's literacy foundation. I was
over whelmed when she told me they would donate bags and books to the
Literacy Fest 2014! I assumed that meant three small boxes of
books.... I WAS WRONG! She and HEB have generously donated what looks
to me like hundreds of books to be given away at our event.
A few will also be in our
raffle which is to raise money for placing books in schools and
libraries. IF we have any books left over they will be donated to the
homeless shelter... which means that today your friendly green grocer
helped the whole world. I say this because just a simple book can
make such a difference in the life of one who has lost all that they
held dear... because someone cared.
As I always say life is
about paying it forward. This I truly believe with all of my heart.
There is a famous adage that states, “There is no evil greater than
he who did nothing because he could do little.” I don't think truer
words were ever spoken. That is really why I wrote my book... anyone
who begins to feel that no one understands and no one cares is
entertaining a very dangerous mind-set.
(LOL I know now you are
saying, “Damn girl! Again with this mindset crap? I'm in AA so
basically.... yes! Lol)
Any detrimental thing that
we do to our bodies, ourselves and yes, even to others begins with a
dangerous mind-set. One random act of kindness can change a mind-set,
touch a heart, fill a soul and ultimately change a life. Imagine how
much easier our toils and troubles would be if everyone gracefully
extended their hand to help another. My book is priced lower simply
for that reason. This is the only way that I know to reach out to
those I have never met. It isn't hard to do. I hope it helps them as
much as it has helped me... for tonight I see the goodness in the
world. Tonight I see miracles coming to light. My soul is full. Thank
you Christa. Thank you HEB. Thank you Kathleen Shields and mostly....
thank you My Creator!
That's my side of it,
Angel
