Oh Happy Day!
Mayor Pat Evans is sooo cool. She issued a proclamation to proclaim my birthday August 26th as a holiday. How cool is that? We had alot of fun that day and we celebrated the opening of our Food Pantry.
Grand Opening Minnies Food Pantry
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. On my 40th birthday I opened my dream, Minnies food Pantry to honor my mother and to feed hungry people in the community.
There was a huge party with Mayor Pat Evans proclaiming August 26th as Cheryl Jackson Day and Minnies Food Pantry Day. It was unbelievable. There were representatives from WalMart, WAMU, BBBS, A1-Affordable, HALO, A live DJ and Channel 8 Good Morning Texas Broadcasted live from the pantry.
What a day!
What will you give?
The holidays are approaching, I always enjoy the change of seasons especially the fall. People get into the Giving Zone and they understand the importance of helping others.
As president of the Giving Movement ,I hope you will consider making a donation to our organization. We are in the business of feeding the hungry and clothing the needy. When I lay my head on my pillow each night I feel blessed to do the assignment that is required of me.
I am hosting a radio show on 990am from 6-9:00am and also appearing on Good Morning Texas. My mission is to shed light on people making a difference in the community. In the upcoming days, I will blog about the people I meet and how you can help their organization too.

An 8th grade student writes a song about me!! What an honor.. Introducing Cristian
Last month I had the opportunity to speak the children at AW Spence middle school. I was asked what would I speak about and I honestly could not tell the person. I believe that when you speak from the heart you make heart connections. So as I was talking I had the opportunity to look into the eyes of our next generation and to speak a word into their lives that would give them hope.
One young man definitely stood out from the rest. He was a true leader ( there are all types of leaders in this world). I knew he was a leader when he made his way upon the stage and asked if he could speak, the students went wild. His name was Cristian. I wasn't sure what he was going to say but when he took the microphone there was a hush in the auditorium. Every child wanted to hear him and the teachers stood in awe. As Cristian began to speak, he made me realize why I decided to GIVE my life and my time to The Giving Movement even though I do not receive a salary. I do this for FREE because of Cristian, River, and the other 1200 kids at this school. As Cristian spoke, tears streamed down the faces of his peers. Cristian apologized to his teachers for not being the ideal student and he apolized to his peers for the actions he had taken prior to that day. Cristian became a POSITIVE leader that day! The principal asked me to return to the school to motivate the children for their taks test and Cristian had a huge surprise for me.
I will be turning 40 this year and I wrote down the things I wanted to happen before and during that year.
I forgot to put that I wanted someone to write a song about me but my new friend Cristian took care of it! If an eighth grader wrote a song about what you what would they say. What have you done today, to make you feel proud? This was one of the proudest moments of my life!
