I totally saved this post and then thought I posted and never did so here ya go (sorry)
Oh and the date this took place was Tuesday October 4th
Tuesday morning was one of the greatest mornings that I have had by far. It sort of started out with me waking up to a bad headache and not wanting to get out of bed. However I had previously planned on meeting up with some people in Hartford before work. 3 wonderful people were in Hartford waiting for me and I couldn't let them down. These 3 people (Shay, Shane & Rob) are living in their trucks and traveling through all 50 states in 50 weeks to help the homeless. They donate all sorts of things to shelters and people on the street and such and I think it is absolutely AWESOME. I found them through twitter which is actually quit unique because I never even wanted to have a twitter page and I signed up to shut people up basically. But I have done some great networking and ended up following @project5050 and learning all about the project and what they did and how it worked. I was so excited when I found out about the date that they would be in CT and knew that I couldn't pass on such an awesome thing. The first day they were here I had to work and couldn't get out to them but the second day I changed my hours and met them downtown. We had a brief talk over coffee and instantly I felt like I had known them forever. We walked back to the cars and then decided to walk through the park and there we met 2 gentleman who we gave socks to and have a great conversation before it was time for me to head off to work.
This day was such a humbling day for me and meeting these people was such a privilege that I can't even begin to put into proper words right now. If you have twitter follow and if you get a chance to meet up with them and help out then please do not let the chance pass by. I almost stayed in bed because of a headache but my day was 100 times better because I decided to get up
Love & Peace
