One time at Festival when I was 32 weeks pregnant with twins and craving so many things, I loaded my cart with candy, ice cream & cookies. 😁 I got behind someone using food stamps and their card was declining. I looked at their food and saw it was actual food (not like my junk food) that they…

A few years ago in December, I was shopping at a department store in Atlanta. While browsing, I noticed an employee who looked overwhelmed by sadness while clutching a tissue. I continued to observe her while listening to holiday music playing in the background. I actually felt her sadness.
About 27 years ago, I was a young mom with marital issues due to my husband’s addiction. He had spent all of our money and we had one day until we were going to be evicted. I did not have any money and could not find a place.
