Mother's Day Contest

The Mother's Day contest is in honor of my mother, Minnie Ewing. She is the reason I started The Giving Movement. She is a strong, yet graceful woman. When my father passed away, it was my mother that took the pulpit and preached his funeral and then gracefully took her seat. She is a pilar in the community. She raised seven kids and she taught us the importance of love and family. She is my rock, she is a beacon of light and she is recognized by her contagious smile and sensational hugs.

The winner of this contest will be a very special lady. Who is she? Perhaps it's your mother who was a single parent, perhaps it's your grandmother who gave you great advice and you want to thank her, or perhaps it's even YOU! That's right, you can even enter yourself to win this contest and here are the fabulous prizes! To enter the contest simply hit comment and type your entry. One woman will win the prizes listed below. The total prize package judges will chose a winner and they will be notified via email and announced on on Good Morning Texas.

Live Good

A good life is not lived by chance, but by choice!
This is a week of goodness. I will be speaking to three schools. There is nothing more rewarding than talking to the next generation of possble lawyers, doctors, and presidents. The children motivate me to be better and do more.
I have to get my five dollars ready ( that's the amount I won on Deal or No Deal) it will be interesting to see the childrens faces.

You have the power! Use it.

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true."

- Richard Bach

The Giving Movement was a dream two years ago. A dream that kept me awake morning, noon and night. It was sparked by my parents, grandmother and my husband. Then this lady named Oprah started Mega giving and I wanted to be an impact on my world like she has done on this world.
There are numerous nights of tears and fears and voices. I read a quote that said she listened to her heart above all the voices and I found the power inside of me. To God be the glory.

I live my passion daily. It isn't easy but it sure is rewarding! Everyday my arms and my sons arms are stretched out to provide food and even a hug to anyone that enters Minnie's Food Pantry.
What are you doing with your arms? You have the power too ( just wanted to remind you, make a difference,be the flame.

Achieve everyday

I made a promise that beginning next year I would begin to journal everyday and then I thought why not start now.
Everyday gives us the opportunity to achieve everyday and start over. Whatever we failed to do yesterday and perhaps are regretting that we didn't do, we have the opportunity to achieve today. Achieve everything, everyone thought you couldn't. The photo above is my son RJ taking boxes of food to feed the hungry. What will you give today to make you feel proud?

America's hidden hungry | SocialistWorker.org

I was quoted in a recent article on the Socialist worker.org talking about hunger.  Unfortunately, I have opened a facility that won't ever go out of business unless we get together and fight this beast and to that I say we can end and stop hunger.  Yes, we can.  Read the article below. All we have to do is Take Action Now.
