Walking For A Cause
This past weekend was the 18th annual Help The Homeless Walk here in DC. It has been a long time since I've done any walks, sit-ins, shut-ins or any type of physical activity for a worthy cause. The last time that I took a stand or walked for something was back in college in 1992. It felt good to do something for a good cause this weekend. I was invited by a friend of mine who works for Fannie Mae (The sponsors) and although I didn't see her I was in the good company of my special lady, Ntshiuwa. I found out that she can walk waaaaaay faster than me even though my legs are longer.The weather was nice and cool and the walk was liberating. I think that it kicked me into my 2nd phase of being an activist in my community. It's not out of guilt or lack of charitable contributions to the daily panhandler. I just want to help in any way that I can. It was good exercise too. **smile**

You are soooo right. It's not all about us as individuals is it. It's about the greater good. Enjoy your holdiay as well. I'll have to stop by and check your blog. Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great weekend, and give thanks for everything :)

Thank you for your compliment. I feel lucky myself. Yes, the lady can step! She spared me though and cooled her jets so that I could keep up without running. :)
We all need to take a moment and do something for those less fortunate.
God Bless
Keep on Pushin!
God bless you too. :)
Unconquerable Soul-
I like the fact that you referred to it as healing your soul. It was healing. It's very easy to become jaded and disconnected living in a major city. It's important to stay focused and concentrate on the needs of others when at all possible. Thanks for that.
Peace,

Thank you for that encouragement. I feel that being active and conscious in the community is important. I'm trying to get out of the mode of just talking and actually doing. I think that I am getting there.
georgiapeach,
Thank you! I am proud of myself. I literally tried to put my Bess foot forward. :)
