This week my new twist is to stop shopping and start helping. The second I watched this news clip I knew this is something I want to do in my life. This video went straight to my heart. I have always known that I want to do something non-for-profit to help those less fortunate than I am, I just didn't know exactly what that should be. When I thought less fortunate, I did not realize how extreme that could really mean. It is so hard for me to imagine what it would be like to even go a day without being able to eat if I am hungry, much less having no idea where my next meal will come from and when. I have been sitting here writing blogs about what I have been buying at the mall when there are people out there who can't even afford to buy enough food to live off of? This was a wake up call for me. It is something I have to admit that I have always known, but don't keep in mind nearly as much as I should. I feel like it is that way for a lot of fortunate people though, which is a shame. It would be an amazing dream come true for me if I could eventually open my own "pay what you can" cafe just like Same (So All May Eat) Cafe. Hopefully someday it will be possible. Until then, less shopping and more helping.
