I was
walking through the city this morning and it felt so good, I must say I felt
like I was home because of when I was homeless, but I must also say it felt
great to remember the past because in some way I felt very proud in myself for
getting on my feet and doing what I do.
A guy
stopped me walking past BOQ Building and said how he heard about me on the radio
and started reading my blog and wanted to say “Hi”. As good as it felt I was
also guilty because I started thinking how I don’t write on here as much as
what I did as a homeless person.
You see I
started thinking of all the things that I can do to help that many more as I
know what homeless are going through. I even started thinking that even though
my new business “Having a Go Coffee” at Coorparoo is helping people, it’s not
enough. So I’m proud to say I’m also working on many new projects at the same
time. I won’t say what yet because I’m still working them out. But I will say,
each one of my projects will help people on their feet in some way or I wouldn’t
put it together.
I have in
the past posted on Facebook that the shop in Coorparoo is in fear of closing
because it didn’t get enough customers. Well whatever I did was the trick
because people came from everywhere and the sales doubled overnight. Thank you
for that, it means I can now employ more people after helping them on their
feet. There’s a famous saying and that’s “the money has to go into the cash
register before money can go out”. Also on a great note the Suspended Coffee’s
is in the plus of 28 for the first time which means we can help that many more
people. AWESOME.
I have to
say I feel like I’m doing something really great knowing I’m helping so many
people. Really please everyone that reads this post go out and do just one
thing to help someone and see how you feel making a small or big difference to
someone you don’t know. I hope you’ll feel like I do and that’s your walking on
air and being proud.
I was just
thinking of writing a list of all the great things I’ve done to help people in
the last 2 weeks, but to be honest just once in a while I want to keep things
for just me to know. I will say I’ve helped two people by paying for plane
tickets to return home to their families, clothes for people that needed them,
furnisher and much more. I would never ask anyone to do something I wouldn’t
do.
I hope you
all have a great day and thank you for reading my blog.
