September 26, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis between receiving and giving. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Somebody Tagged Me! "'What is it?' Sabrina asked. One glance inside and my suspicion was confirmed. Lying inside were 2 tupperware containers. I could not see their contents from my bird's eye view but I could see a fresh mango and a bag of chocolates peeking from the corner of the bag. And the incredible aroma had already permeated the front office area. 'Someone has tagged me with an anonymous act of kindness!' I replied with a smile and a shake of my head. The joy and gratitude that I was feeling must have been the same feeling that went through the people that we fed on Saturday's Hear the Homeless event. It was the exact same thing.

September 23, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love. - Stephen Kendrick - The Present of Being Present "In the summer of 2005, things weren't looking very good for me. A broken relationship, a deadlock at work, a growing dependence on alcohol and tobacco all made for a downward spiral that I experienced every moment but couldn't snap out of. I was almost at breaking point when my mother decided to pay me a visit... On the first evening of her visit she tried to get me talking about where I was at in life, what was working and what wasn't. I resisted, was evasive in my responses and tried every trick in the book to keep the facade up. I thought I had succeeded ..."
