Sounds like you and your husband are very kind people! I like your plan 

Forgot to say I like your picture too! You are very pretty and have such a beautiful smile! 

Thank you, Momma6224!! You are so kind!! Have a great Hump day!!  

Such a great plan! And I love your picture sweetie! 🙋🏻You’re a doll! 

That's awesome that he is doing keto too, makes is super convenient for you. Your dream is a wonderful one. I have found using the thin tip style tweezers is the easiest way to get fake lashes on. I hold the lash with the tweezer, put the glue directly on the lash and let it get a little tacky. I set it on my eye closed, get it into position and hold it there. It is tricky though. Love that smile! 

My wife and I have similar conversations about the good we would do if we were able, and it always leaves me feeling really sad that those that already can, don't.  

@Phil, I know!! I have been thinking and thinking about this since we talked about it. I know that there are a lot of people who do good, but I just wish that I had the means to do the things I want to do. I feel like if I could, it would give me purpose. Sometimes I feel like I am just walking through life without it, and its frustrating.  

Sounds like your hubby has a pure heart! Your picture is very pretty and like others your smile is beautiful! Enjoy the wedding festivities. 😊 

Yeah, I know there are a lot of great charitable people in this world, and I really shouldn't pass silent summary judgement on what I don't see others doing. BUT... I never see the, "people of means", in my own community doing much of anything for anyone else.  

@dkr the purest. He is a good good man. I am so lucky to have him. @Phil, yeah, I see the same thing. I live in the headquarters of Walmart and Tyson both, yet there is so much suffering here. Walmart pretends to do good for people, but they dont help the ones in their own backyard. Its heartbreaking.  

That would be an awesome venture and good service to he community! I like the plan! 

I'm also in the NWA area, and 7 Hills Homeless Center is on my monthly giving list. They do great work in the community, and I've gotten to interact with some of their staff at a mental health first aid workshop I attended so I can attest that they are caring, dedicated people. You may not be able to realize your dream right now, but by donating even a little to an existing organization you can still make a big impact. 

@Ramen, I live right over by their new facility on School Ave just past MLK and I see the people outside all the time and want to help so badly. I know that donating will help, and I do give to the community, its just I want to do something more. Idk, its just a dream in my head right now.  

what a great and noble goal - God answers prayers - always. if you do the footwork,and it is his plan for it to happen, he will get you there. I wish you the best at the wedding and I am sure you will have a good time.  

pretty in purple, beautiful smile:) 

Beautiful picture of you. The dress is beautiful too. Nice dream. Helping others is always good .... lottery or no lottery :) 

wow keren you are half of that now you are my idol I do believe I want to be like you love you 

If there is a way to volunteer with the homeless population somewhere near where you are, I strongly, strongly recommend that you and your hubby give that a go first. There is a lot that you would need to know about dealing with people who are homeless, as many of them have mental health challenges. Growing up, I had a neighbor lady who opened her house as a rooming house for disabled and veterans etc. Most of the guys could not take care of themselves, even if they had wanted to. They had family who could help them, but most families can't tolerate the constant disruption of someone who hears voices, doesn't want to stay clean physically or drug-wise, and won't or can't work for whatever reason; disability money is not given out for nothing. She allowed alcohol, but really, if a grown man wants a beer and has his own money, are you going to throw him out? A couple of years ago, I had a young man living in my house when he had been rejected by several agencies for housing. He was difficult to live with, in that he was not a rational person. He would cook food and then scrape the leftovers into a pile on the stove or dump them out the window onto the dormer roof. He would attach metal bits to the radio and microwave in hopes of diverting the rays that were affecting his brain from space. He had a huge collection of these metal bits in his closet. He got into weird habits that other caretakers have told me are not uncommon among the mentally disabled. There were many incidents that made me realize that I was not helping him other than giving him a place to stay. He had family close by but they could not handle having him live with them, either. He did get into monitored housing eventually, with a social worker on site to take care of him, but his mom ended up having to cook for him because he would not eat the cafeteria food because he wouldn't eat food that touched plastic in any way. Many of the homeless have no ability or desire to get on their feet, not trying to put them down, just saying that capacity has a lot to do with why they are homeless. It is a wonderful thought for you and your husband to want to help solve a huge problem, but the preparation takes way more than just money. Bless you, and I hope the wedding times are joyous! 

@Abbadabba my uncle was homeless, we spent a lot of time at the shelters when I was living in California. I was primary care giver for my grandfather when I was 16 until 21 when he passed and he had severe dementia. My brother and older sister were both meth addicts, and my brother was an alcoholic. I have dealt with quite a bit. I know it would be a huge challenge, but we wouldnt do it alone. Thanks for the input and the support, I appreciate it!! :0) 

Thanks for the support - You may be losing weight but your heart will stay big - I hope that didn't sound bad - Do what you can, everybody appreciates it - If you take care of yourself first, you'll be able to take care of others - Healthwize especially - That is a great goal on the shelter - I never read all of the posts because my attention span right now is zilch - Hope all of you and your family, friends well - God Bless!!! - I will come back to read - Promise
