Motivating Monday (on Tuesday): Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. A belated Happy Monday! Welcome to 2022! I know that might seem late but technically we're still at the beginning of this new year. There are over 11 months to go so this is still "new" (wink, wink, smile).

It's been a while, right? I haven't written since November of last year. A lot has transpired since then and I'm so excited about what's been going on! 

THE MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION

First of all I am writing today, Tuesday, January 25, for an important reason. It is the birthday of someone incredibly special to me, who isn't Wisdom (Wis' birthday is on December 23). 

There was a beautiful individual I met online over 13 years ago on June 6, 2008 via Skype. We have NEVER met in person. Yet he is the person who initiated the internal journey of L.U.V. I've been on.

I was living in Hawaii. He was in the Ivory Coast of Africa. Today we are much closer but still so far away. I am in NC! He is in France. 

I owe a great deal to this remarkable man. If I knew then what I know now, we might have had a different story. BUT... I wouldn't change the one we have for the world. 

Joyeux Anniversaire M. Ouattara Hassim! Je t'aime! Je t'aime beaucoup! 

Even 13 years, 7 and a half months later my heart smiles when I think about him or see his face. He is simply kind and genuine and so very beautiful on the inside and out. I am grateful he started a conversation with me that day, oh so long ago! 

It feels right that since my journey of self-L.U.V. started with this person, the journey to spread this aspect of L.U.V. should start on his birthday, as a celebration of the Love he gives to the world just by being who is. 

I have felt good energy today. I've been working on posts and flyers all day. I'm preparing everything I need to hit the streets tomorrow. And tomorrow is when I will return with more information. So stay tuned. Enjoy the amazing day you're creating. Peace...

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
