I wish I had some...that would mean I was home. Home with my own refrigerator, my own bed, my own couch, not to mention my very own fiance!

But hey, this post is not about me. I am most definitely fortunate. Others are in not-so-fortunate positions right now. So the simple things...the ones we all take for granted...those are the things they miss.

When was the last time you let the milk in your refrigerator spoil? I shamely admit I do it all the time, because I buy it for one purpose and then we just don't use enough of it before it goes bad. And as I dump it down the sink I feel so guilty.

Right now a local homeless shelter is completely out of powdered milk, a huge staple in the grocery bags they give out daily and use in their own kitchen where they prepare meals every day for the hungry.

I don't know how many readers I have, but say I only have 20 (gosh I hope there are more of you), what if all 21 of us donated one package of powdered milk? We could help 21 families. Maybe the gesture is small, but when you are the one going without, small acts of kindess and giving become so much greater than the material thing you gave.

Right now I'm stuck in the Newark airport, flight delayed, hoping to get home tonight. But tomorrow...tomorrow I'm going to get some milk for someone who may not have a home to go to, or someone who is down on their luck.

Will you join me? Let's see how big of a little difference we can make.

If you are local (Naples, FL) I will pick up your donations. Just email me @ jessicambarnett@hotmail.com.

If you are not, send packages to:

The Seed Project
PO Box 3011
Naples, FL 34106

There's no deadline ... because people always need a hand.

Peace, love, and milk to all ;)
