Being Temporarily Homebound

Being temporarily homebound I have been getting groceries and meals delivered. Thru this season I have been giving extra tips and peace roves to all who delivered to me.
I also have a caretaker come in twice a week. I have been thanking them in the same way.
Last night I shared my dinner with her. Also gave her a bag of goodies for her children.

I may be temporarily down. But not out of kindness
Blessings to all

Be Enchanted 😊

I ordered this book on the recommendation of gardengal and it was delivered this afternoon.

I thought it would be a good book to put into the Happy Bag I posted about earlier, for our neighbor-friend’s Mom. I can order another one for myself. I think this would be a good book for her to read as she undergoes her lung cancer treatments.

📕 One review: “This book has nuggets of gold, great wisdom that will serve in the practice of waking up to the sacred in all.”

Day 2:
I saw one of the fellows I sometimes help near my work. He was at a bus stop near McDonald's. I asked if he was hungry. He told me he would love a McDouble, no drink because he already had one. So, I got him the burger and he thanked me.

Moving from deficiency to offerings

Spoke to my cousin for 3 hours. He is going through a difficult breakup and his anxiety was acting up. Through the conversation, helped him feel things he was not allowing himself to feel but also shift him gradually to remember the unique gifts he brings to the world so that he can move to a more open hearted space. We both left the conversation feeling full and nourished.

Get Well Soon cards While I was making Get well Soon card, I selected an image and tried to work on it but somehow the program closed and I lost the image.

Package Of Kindness

Richard took some of the items we didn't need to the Food Bank and I had an idea for a bottle of wine which was part of the package. I will drop it off at the Hairdressers as they have moved to new premises and I think it will help them celebrate!

I'm putting together a package for our neighbours too!

The photo shows the book and the raccoon and owl I've knitted to accompany them.

Kindness In A New City

Hi friends,  I'm connecting with you all after a very long time. The epidemic had caused havoc in my extended family and I had been busy looking after my family. Last year I relocated to a new city with my husband and daughter and got busy settling in. This place is very different from where I lived before and we had a lot of adjusting. Now that things are running smoothly due to God’s help, I thought of letting you know about a kind act my daughter had the opportunity to enact, a week before.  We had a religious ceremony at home. We in India keep many fruits and sweetmeats at God’s altar and eat them before breakfast. After the ceremony, I told my daughter that there were so many extra things we wouldn’t finish. She suggested that she go with her father and look for someone who deserves all these extra fruits, etc. ... Read Full Story >>

Class Wish List At The Door

I went to school with Kara decades ago and we still are connected via FaceBook. I have seen all she does with her community, faith and taking more children into her family. She's very positive and is always trying to make the world better one person, one act at a time.
This week I found some items for my class from my Amazon class list at my front door: Expo pens, a language activity book and calculators.
This is the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you, Kara and family. Merry Christmas!

Blankets And Warm Clothes For The Homeless

Years ago, a local man (vancouver BC (canada) named Gregory Ould encountered a homeless man, and approached asked him if there was something he could do to help him.

Greg was expecting the man may want something like cigarettes, but the man in need said he could use a blanket to make it through the night on the cold streets.

Greg went and got a blanket for him, and since then, Greg and his young son started an organization called Blanket BC, which collects blankets and warm clothes to be distributed to shelters that help the homeless.

An annual Drive on the Line event was held this past Friday and Saturday, with “Blanketeers” collecting the donations at select Canada Line stations (our local version of a subway) .

I have been a Blanketeer in years past, and dropped off 2 warm jackets on Friday.

Today, I Worked On Self Care

Today, I worked on caring for myself. I bought some yarn in October to make a short sleeve jumper. The pattern implied I would need more yarn than I actually needed. I've made a scarf to give to Richard for Christmas and today I finished this one. The great thing is there are still about four balls of yarn left so I will use them to make something either as a Christmas present or a donation towards a fund-raiser.

The picture shows one end of the scarf (both ends are matching).

Sweet Happenings In The Morning

🏡 Things that felt good today on our block…. 💫 I heard the sanitation truck outside our door this morning (Monday is one of our two collection days)…..I went out & saw the fellow a few doors down & called out to him with a thank you & happy holidays…he looked up, smiled, waved and wished me the same. He always handles the trash cans with care & takes the time to go the extra steps to return the cans off the walking path. Some guys toss the cans down haphazardly on the path where people walk…this guy never does that. He’s on our Christmas gratuity list 👌🏻 💫 I was out on our front porch when the mailman was making his rounds on our block…I could hear his laughter as he was getting closer to our house(he was on his cell phone)..his laughter was infectious & was nice to hear.
