What a beautiful post. And volunteering really does wonders for your soul. My first born daughter died shortly after being born, and that impacted me in a way that I cannot fully put into words, but one thing I new for certain, was that life was far too short to sweat the small stuff.

And so, I never returned to work, and instead decided to volunteer. Which, I know I am blessed to have a

You always seem to hit the nail on the head. Sometimes we need these experiences to remind ourselves of how very rich we actually are.

The Pursuit of Happyness was an incredible movie and it surely made me stop and think just how lucky we are. I've been terribly poor and out of work and counting pennies, but I've never not had a place to lay my head down and a roof over my head. I just can't imagine. Your post is inspiring. I've thought of volunteering at a homeless shelter, now I believe I'll go past the thinking stage and do

When my father died, he was homeless. He literally died in a gutter, next to his car.

I always try to remember that each homeless person I encounter was once a little babe being cradled in their mother's arms. Or maybe a daddy that once lovingly held their little babies in their arms. Or taught their daughter to ride a bike without training wheels.

2007-07-02T15:23:00.000-05:00

Well, now there are tears in my eyes. I often lie in bed in my humongous bedroom in my large home and think of how many families live in places smaller than my room, if they have a place to live at all. I really admire you taking action to help others.

I think you will just love your volunteer work. I ...

2007-07-02T12:20:00.000-05:00

I think you will just love your volunteer work. I haven't brought myself to watch Pursuit of Happiness because I just don't know if I can. I've seen homelessness up close (not personally though, thank God) and it is incredibly painful.

As for the couches, there are always slipcovers.

So, so beautiful of you.

I was in tears reading this...what an amazing example to your children, your neighbors and everyone.

You rock, dude.

2007-07-02T08:20:00.000-05:00

That movie beat me down because you're right, no one wants to think about homelessness. Especially not children who are homeless. We should all help where we can.

We were staying at a hotel last fall. Sean had just turned 3 and was enjoying looking out the windows of the room naming all the stuff he could see. Across the street was a park and there were homeless people. Sean asked his daddy why didn't they go home, it was getting dark. AD said, maybe they don't have a home to go to (gulp). Then he asked, why don't they get a hotel room, just like us.

wow, that was amazingly beautiful. i think it's great that you're going to start volunteering. and even greater that you wrote about it so that we could all think of ways to help in our own communities. thanks for that.

i've been to the shelter in that movie. Reverend Cecil, he is the Real Deal. And Chris, there are so many Chris'...and yet not with the happy ending, not so much.

Those kids will love you. You will love those kids. I wish I could go with you.

thank you, thank you, thank you for this post.

What an inspiring post. We've been homeless. I think you probably know that. We went for 9 LONG months staying in a friends house. It was hard. It wasn't comfortable. It was embarassing. But we did it because we had to in order to move on. I learned a huge amount about charity, about giving selflessly, and about those that give because they don't really think about the recipients. Those who

2007-07-01T20:52:00.000-05:00

I think that's an awesome and wonderful thing to do. Before my second was born and my first was still in preschool, I looked into doing something similar with an organization here that does so much good in out city.

Then my father died and I got pregnant and all my big plans flew out the window. But I always said that once both my kids were in school, that my free time will be used to

Your post says a lot. We tend not to appreciate what we have and how lucky we are in comparison to those who have not.

I've been a "have not", fortunately, not for long. It is a frightening and desperate state to be in. You don't know if tomorrow will be there, particularly in the cold of winter. Your belly hurts because you have neither food, nor the money to buy it and you can see no
