Event Rescheduled! Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. Please excuse my delay in posting this.  I posted yesterday about The Need To GROW Watch Party, happening today. And today I'm posting about it happening next week. Please excuse me for any inconvenience this causes. We're on the edge of a hurricane! So please stay home. I have to plans to be inside. If that's not you, I get it. That's what feels safest for me and my superhero. Believe me when I tell you, I'm not afraid to drive in the rain. We did it last week, on the way back from our stay in Boone. As we began to pass through Yadkinville the rain came pouring down so hard we got off the highway to wait it out.  The sky was clear when we started back on the road but as the night descended, we drive right into another storm. I could barely see the lines on the road. We didn't get off this time. I put on my hazards and drove around 40 mph, lik...

Wednesday Night Watch Party Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so excited. In two of the last three posts I've mentioned The Need To GROW ! I cannot tell you how much I adore this movie. It moves me every time I see it. The way I describe it is:  "Inspiring... Heartbreaking... Game changing... COVID exacerbated problems. The Need To GROW provides solutions." Because I know this movie provides solutions and has inspired my work to create Homesteads for the Homeless, I'm bringing this movie to the people through a series of Watch Parties. The first is on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. Yes, for some that's tomorrow. Doors open at 5:30p. We will start promptly at 6p. Please register here . It will be a chance to connect with nature, self and others. We will watch and discuss this film as a way to really delve into how the world can be a better place AND we can be a part of making that happen. We a...

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...

Can One Movie Eliminate Homelessness? Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here.  For me the answer to the question I asked is a resounding, "YEEEEESSSSS"! And I'm diligently working on it. That one movie is The Need to GROW .  It has been an inspiration since the first time I saw it last year. If fuels my passion to create homesteads for our unhoused neighbors. Will you please help me use this movie to eliminate homelessness?  There are 2 reasons it's possible: 1. It contains viable ideas to address food insecurity (and without being blatant, housing insecurity as well) and 2. I earn commissions anytime someone buys it, putting me in a financially stable position to implement real solutions that will in fact eliminate homelessness.

The Need To Grow Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here. For those who don't know me, my name is Kara Lynn Sanders. My nickname is Kai and my super s-hero name is Momma Kai because I found my superpowers being a mom.  I am the mom and student of a young, Black male superhero who God gave the name "Wisdom". He is my heart beating outside of me. Thank you again for being here. July has been quite the month. It came in quietly and has turned into a non-stop adventure. It's a great time to be alive.  F rom Monday, July 17 to Wednesday, July 19,  Wisdom and I attended the 2023 Conference to End Homelessness hosted by the National Alliance to End Homelessness. It was interesting.  Because of what I did (and did not) experience, I am even more passionate about eliminating homelessness with a preliminary focus on housing children and their parents. You might wonder "how?" Well, during both the June 8th and July 1...

The Intro to the Intro Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  Happy Official Beginning to the Second Half of the Year! July 3nd signifies the beginning of the next six months. It is the 184th day of the year (most years). 183 days have passed. 181 days are still before us to live. Yesterday was the middle of the year. Today signifies the 1st day of the rest of the year. That means if you didn't like how the first half played out, you've got another 6 months to make things happen. January 1st isn't the only day we can commit to change. That's exciting to me. So much has happened. So much more is coming. One of those things is a book. Well technically, it's a book set  called  How To Liberate a Nation With L.U.V.! . The name is meant to be explored on every level, starting with the individual.  If you think about it, we are all a nation unto ourselves. We each hold the power to build  a nation that is bor...

Homelessness is a Childhood Trauma Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here.  I'm working to eliminate homelessness by the time winter 2023 begins. Will you help me? You can contribute to my fundraiser here:  https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8UJmakINc9 As a way to say thank you, all donations will receive a link to preview the introduction to a set of books I'm writing. The set is called "How To Liberate A Nation With L.U.V.!" If you donate $25 or more, I'll autograph and send a copy of the magazine I was recently featured in.  If you donate $50 or more, I'll add access to the first chapter of the book for 72 hours. If you donate $100 or more you'll be given an opportunity to comment on it throughout the entire writing process. The goal is at least $10K, preferably $20K. I'm going to ask the city and county to match it. As a member of the Raleigh/Wake Joint Homelessness Task Force, I'm committed to ...
