Every now and then I come across something touching, sharply contrasting - something that reminds me that there are many other human stories that serve to put a better perspective on my own life. It seems particularly appropriate to share this during the holiday season and after such a tough year for so many less-fortunate people.
Whenever I'm in San Francisco I head over to Coffee Bar on 17th St. and Florida to check my email and catch up with friends on Twitter. A block or so away on 18th St. I often pass a building with the sign "Homeless Prenatal Program". There's a wonderfully touching 8-minute video on the site that really captures the spirit and hope this organization has provided to homeless women and children whose lives have been turned around with their help. Check it out at Homeless Prenatal Program.
To donate to their highly-regarded and effective programs please click here! Here is the video - it's worth watching the entire segment:
I hope you and your family have a happy and joyous holiday season and, no matter what your circumstances, I hope you find a space in your heart to help someone less-fortunate than yourself in some small way.
Best regards and many thanks for reading my blog this year.
Philip
