Me Celebrating Me, You Celebrating You: Part 1

Welcome and welcome back! Thank you for being here. Happy Monday! It's my favorite day of the week! 

Go ahead. I'm waiting... Call me crazy. It's OK. I have my own kind of craziness so I'm not offended. 

I invite you to consider that I'm not crazy but rather maybe you should join me. Don't you think it would be far better for you to be so excited about life that Mondays are your favorite day too? Something to think about right? 

Let's get down to business... can we agree that 2020 has been a pretty fascinating year? There were two posts a Facebook friend shared on her page recently that I thought were hilarious. 

Here's the first:

A man goes to a bar in New Orleans and asks, 
"Can I have a corona and two hurricanes please?"
Bartender replies, "That’ll be $20.20."

Here's the second:


Haahaahaa...

Yup! That about sums it up right there. 

But you know something? Last year Cynthia Roberts, Quickbooks Pro Master, coined the theme of this year "Two-Oh, Two-Oh, Get Ready for Your Overflow". I cannot deny how true that has been. There has been LOTS of overflow in ways, that globally, none of us could have expected. 

But on a personal level I've experienced my own personal overflow in ways I could never have expected either. I think the main way my overflow has played out is how God revealed the NEW Emancipation Proclamation to me. This is what every experience in my whole entire life was meant for. 

I don't know how many people live to be able to find out, let alone pursue, the work God ordained for their life but I'm doing it. It's little by little, day by day. Sometimes it's not even day by day. It has to be moment by moment because there is so much to do that it's overwhelming. But I'm doing it. 

That's not all though. I'm watching God reveal Himself in all kinds of ways and through so many different people. To say I'm blessed is an understatement. Favored is better. Highly favored is a definite. But saying I'm one of "God's favorites" sounds more like it (Thank you for that lesson so many years ago Brother Fenton). So I'm celebrating. I'm celebrating myself and all I've been through this year.

Let's Talk Tuesday: 10 Ways to Help Me Eliminate Homelessness

10 Ways to Help Me Eliminate Homelessness Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise . Thank you for being here. If you don't know me, here's an introduction.  My name is Kara Lynn Sanders. My nickname is Kai.  My super s-hero name is Momma Kai because I discovered my superpowers being a mom. I have the honor and privilege of being the mom and student of a young Black male superhero who is almost 7 and a half. The name God gave him when I was pregnant is Wisdom and he is my heart beating outside of me. Since August of 2019, my son and I have been on a journey through the perils of poverty here in Raleigh. At some point God told me not to take it personally. I needed to pay attention. So despite the very real financial challenges we've faced, I've paid attention.  What I have learned in almost 4 years is remarkable. For the past 6 weeks or so, Wisdom and I have chosen to live out of our car so we can be seen and heard. We attended community meetin

Support from Food Revolution Network and... Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. Life has been such a whirlwind of emotions and activity lately. And I'm so grateful for that. Some of that has lifted my nervous system to a state of rest and digest. Some of it has knocked my nervous system into fight or flight. All is welcome as part of this incredible journey called Life! Part of this incredible journey has been to received a visible donation and word of support from the Food Revolution Network, specifically Ocean Robbins, CEO. They are supporting the work I'm doing to build Homesteads for the Homeless. This is an incredible honor. You can see it for yourself on the donation page. Will you please join them with a contribution of your own? You can find my fundraiser called "Help Momma Kai Eliminate Homelessness" here:  https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8UJmakINc9 For more details about how this happened, plea

Let's Talk Tuesday: Quantifiable Wins

Quantifiable Wins Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here whether it is your first time or you're returning. Thank you for your support. This post is inspired by Jimmy Davies of Every.Black . Every few months, because of the influx of new people attending their meetings, he would showcase his story, "A 30 Year Overnight Success". I feel it's time I do something similar.  The title "Quantifiable Wins" I need to attribute to a business consultant named Tiffany. I attended one of her workshops and although I found most of her content and the manner of her delivery not to my tastes, the phrase "quantifiable wins" has stuck. I have many to name and I'm pleased with each and every one of them.    Since I'm meeting people in different areas that don't connect to one another, with each environment I'm introduced to, it's like starting from scratch to get recognized. Instead of
