Also for the giving heart you and your family have! More people need to remember this not just at the holidays (although, during the holidays being along seems so much more painful) but all year long. How can you have a bad holiday season with a heart filled with such love for others! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Much love! .-= Cindy´s last blog ..<a href="http://mariposagirl.wordpress.com/2009/12/26/merry-the-day-after/" rel="nofollow">Merry the Day After</a> =-.

A wrong choice, one that seems small and insignificant, along with some bad luck, can turn anyone into a homeless person. Yesterday I found this amazing photostream on Flickr, Faces of Poverty. It's really amazing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stoneth/sets/1562065/ Stoneth not only takes photos, he talks to these people, hangs out with them, and he writes their stories. It's so shocking how many ended up like this because they were veterans or a family tragedy. .-= Expat Mom´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExpatMom/~3/Le4bPgKGHxU/" rel="nofollow">This Week</a> =-.

This post was so moving for me. Just the fact that you are able to look past whatever layers may be present to see the real people tells me a lot about who you are. If more people spent their holidays like this, just imagine what a world we could have. Thank you for everything that you do. Merry Christmas Michele.

My husband is a vet (Gulf War)...he's not yet 40 and has a great job, but I can see that he, like anyone, is only a few missteps from being in a bad place. Vets need more support upon heir return - mental and physical. They stepped up and did took action when many others wouldn't. Thank you so much for the efforts of you and your family. Bless you Michele, and Happy Christmas Eve!

I cannot even express my gratitude to you for posting this. I am writing this with tears of gratitude streaming down my face that people like you and your family exist in the world, esp at holiday times. When we were leaving San Diego four months ago, we were living urban for the last 2 yrs. We were living in a very prestigious part of San Diego near Balboa Park, a rather famous park. Anyway, by day it was glistening, and the tourists were there and everything was lovely. Come dusk, the homeless people would come out of the woodwork and on my family's 4-5 mile evening power walks thru the park, we were surrounded by hundreds of homeless people. They would sleep everywhere and anywhere, all around us. Some were addicts, some were prostitutes, some were veterans, who knows how or why or their story or how they ended up there. But it would break my heart to see this day in and day out. Thank you for your family's life work of helping others. You are amazing! Bless you, my friend. Bless You. I posted a bunch of names on my blog today (I didnt know how much blog reading you're doing these days) so didnt include your name, but please: You are the most deserving Recipient of the Beautiful Blogger Award. You're amazing. Merry Christmas to you and yours, lots of light, love, and peace. averie .-= Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga)´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/12/beatiful-blogger-award-breakfast-plates.html" rel="nofollow">Beatiful Blogger Award & Breakfast Plates</a> =-.
