Where There's a Will...
Wednesday, January 5, 2011 at 6:21PM I meant to share something else with you today, but it will have to wait...
I don't watch very much television these days, and I hardly ever watch the news...I'm pretty much out of touch with what's going on in the real world. I am from Cleveland-ish, so when I saw this story on the Yahoo homepage it caught my eye...
I'm so glad I didn't miss it! My heart is full of happiness for this man, who was probably frowned upon by many of the people who passed by.
This story reminds me of a book I read a while ago called, Same Kind of Different as Me, by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It's about a homeless man who was given understanding, and an opportunity to share his gifts with the world. If you'd like, you can read more about it here or here. I definitely recommend it!
It's things like this that fill me with hope, and remind me that, given the opportunity, we all have something wonderful to share.

Dear Kelly-I hope that you and the kids are feeling much better? My wishes for good health all the way across the miles.
I saw this man on CNN and I agree...he has the most amazing voice! But I also saw a very large and shining spirit pouring out of his eyes. I love that quote too...yes! We are all just searching for our way home...and all of our voices and stories are important. I know that now. So so true.
have had a very very long past 2 days-will write you an e-mail tomorrow. Until then...snuggle up warm in bed and get well soon.
P.S do you know what your http address is..I wanted to put a link to your blog in my post but couldn't find it?Whenever you get a chance.xxx
That man has probably impacted more lives than he can possibly imagine....I hope his story doesn't fade away and end up being an asterisk in "looking back at 2011".
And I love your deer pictures, even though you have lots, almost as many as I have Goo pictures!
