Ahh Kate, That’s beautiful!! I don’t know what to say…I too feel torn with the excess we live in…imagine, I was in Mexico lazing about on the beach…missing this incredible event at FMSC…but, it was not much out of my mind, the divide between the pain and the hunger in Haiti and the all you can eat buffets I was gorging on. Your writing made me feel like I was there…and I know too I would have shared the same feelings of excitement of meeting the faces that connect to the words on the screen and the pang in my heart of knowing the plenty I have in my own life and where a little bag of rice is going to help someone just- live. I’m looking forward to an opportunity again to do something like this… Chris Ann

What a moving post. It’s amazing how we get carried along when we think we’ve lost our way. Doing something for others is an amazing way to lighten our own load, isn’t it?

Thank you for this.

That is completely awesome. I am a fan of Feed my Starving Children already – and what a great way for bloggers to get together, doing something for someone else.

THIS is the kind of blogging togetherness that NEEDS to happen more often. Not fighting over swag and sponsors, but filling a desperate need for other people, as well as our own internal need to become more aware.

I wish I could have been there, Kate. Sounds like an amazing event.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. And the radio is playing the perfect song to accompany your words.

It amazes me that not only did you all bond, you were all so moved by the service you provided. How wonderful.

Kate -

What an incredible night and this post, so wonderfully written, captured the emotion and the feelings of that night. I was glad to learn that I wasn’t the only one who was getting choked up hearing the story of Omar.

It was great to meet so many other bloggers and to discover new blogs that I had never read before.

Best wishes,
Elizabeth

Kate – Thank you for sharing this thoughtful post. I still cannot put how I feel into words. It is a blessing that all of you amazing ladies have caught the essence of the evening.

Very, Very powerful post. I am honored to be among this group of people who gave their time on Monday. Our lives are forever changed because of that one night in time.
