Do you believe in Angels?

On December 25th I opened the Giving Boutiques doors to give away free toys at Christmas.
I remembered waking up with my 5 brothers and one sister and my two cousins and we had nothing but LOVE. I promised myself if can help it, I want to make sure every kid in my world has a toy. Thanks to four Walmart stores and the kindness of Generous Strangers we were able to provide toys to the ones who needed.As I type this blog I can't explain the emotions that are going through my mind.

I was given a key to a storefront two doors down from the Giving Boutique. The store had no electricity and the walls needed drywall and painting. The ceiling had tiles missing everywhere, one as a matter of fact one of the tiles almost fell and hit me in the head, but it was MY building and MY dream so I was thrilled to be in that cold dreary place.

I can see it now... people coming in from miles away to receive food and LOVE.
But how would this happen? I have exhausted all of my funds. My dear old hubby has been patient with me. He sees my vision and supports it but when will it breakthrough ( this was my prayer)
Then it happened, I titled this blog do you believe in Angels for several reasons. The most important one is because of my father. He passed away 3 years ago and he always told me I could do anything I wanted to. I remember his butterfly kisses, Let me pause for a moment and I will be right back. tears oh the tears whew

Okay, I'm back. This place is going to be the Giving Movement's Food Pantry. My dream is to partner with the charities and distribute food and toiletries to people in our area.

My first Angel is the woman who gave me the key to my FREE building. She laughed while I cried because I said if you GIVE me the key, the rest will come together. I told her I wanted the place for FREE and she finally said okay. Can you believe it? She was probably thinking what could I do with a building without electricity and that is useless. ( Isn't that what we think about some people?)

Wait until I post the pictures to see what some people whom I have NEVER met has done for me. So instead of doing one grand opening on February 28th we will be doing two. I am aazed and overwhelmed.
All I have to say is HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOU DREAMS and NEVER let anyone take them from you. I will post more thoughts later. I am running out the door to another meeting.
I have to ask Home Depot to donate materials for the store. Wish me luck.
