Today's A-Z letter is I, I've chosen the word Inspiration. In a recent knitting class I took on line, there was considerable discussion about choosing colors and patterns that inspired us. Many people said they use nature as their inspiration when selecting colors, patterns, and textures to knit with. I rarely buy a specific yarn for a specific project, so am not sure I've ever given it much thought. I use yarn I have on hand...often yarn that's been donated or yarn I've purchased on sale...a color that's flexible for a variety of projects. However, seeing this picture the other day on Facebook and I thought.......wow, that would inspire me to select beautiful purples and greens, and wouldn't these colors make an awesome afghan, or sweater? Coincidentally, purple and green are my daughters favorite colors and so they are colors I've often purchased, but this particular blend...
Inspiration with regard to caring for the homeless could be defined as inspired to help others. I think all the folks who donate to Bridge and Beyond are inspired to do just that, help others. And I believe those who receive our gifts are also inspired...inspired to feel better because someone cares about them.........Someone they don't know took time to make something especially for them. That is certainly inspiring. I know many times when I make deliveries to the various shelters and run into a homeless person on walk or in the parking lot, and they open the door for me, help me carry items in, and say Bless You, I feel that they are inspired.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
