**THROWBACK POST**

December 23 2015:

One step closer to having the storage unit empty and having everything condensed into this beautiful, comfy, cozy 810 square foot love shack! Everything is out except for a couch that the Salvation Army is scheduled to pick up, and a desk, chair and filing cabinet; which will come here as soon as I get rid of the hide-a-bed couch. Plus, a few boxes in Mom n Frank’s storage unit which I’ll soon go through and purge. YAY, YAY, YAY!!!!

A welcome and cherished reminder from the girls at Urban Sparrow.

Live in the moment and Different iz Good nestled snuggly with a perfect heart. Many months ago I connected with the Urban Sparrow gals with the intention of having them make Different iz Good necklaces as a fundraiser for the DIG 501(c) 3 …. I wasn’t able to pay for the initial proof and the idea didn’t move forward.

Monica McDivitt must have shared with them about my situation …. as I just got this in the mail sent with their love! Y’all all bless me so much I’m overflowing with love! I shall wear this EVERY day until TEAM TLC is in our new home … as a reminder of love, believing in dreams and that doing it different is absolutely, positively OKAY! If you get any spending money for Christmas, please visit the Urban Sparrow gals as a percentage of sales from select jewelry goes to nonprofits.

Extra Team TLC movie night – “Barbie’s A Christmas Carol”

I’m not a fan of the “perfectness” of Barbie or the movies. Yet, I am a fan of Lillian .

And the overall message. “Keep the beauty of Christmas in your heart all year.”

Lillian says, “Good, musical, funny, Christmasy, awesome, good moral, good theme, and beautifully colorful.”

Thomas says, “What Lillian says.”

Vegan Eats: Marmite

Grocery store find. I’ve never seen this in our grocery stores. It’s a cute, tiny jar so I had to get it.

I remember a UK friend telling me years ago not to taste it straight from the jar. She said to put a thin layer on buttered toast for my first taste. 🎉

I tried it and love it! 💖 My Southern family is going to disown because I’ve been adding it to my grits! I’m ready to start experimenting!! 🤣😂🤣

This post got nearly 100 comments. Ha! Lots of folks passionate about Marmite or Vegemite.

The Loving Kindness of Others – With Gratitude

I have amazing news to share. On Saturday we were gifted a vehicle! A friend’s neighbor hasn’t been able to drive her car for about a year. My friend explained to her what had happened to our car and asked how much she wanted for it.

My friend messaged me in tears to tell me that her neighbor wanted to gift me the car. 😭 Then I was in tears, too! 😭 I went to see her on Saturday. She would not accept any money from me and I came home in the gifted vehicle.

It’s taken me since Saturday to accept that this happened. You would think I would have been elated! However, I waxed and waned between feeling like I didn’t deserve this, being grateful for it, and thinking people would think I’d taken advantage of this beautiful, kind woman.

Thank you so much to everyone who shared encouraging thoughts, sent love and hugs, shared your stories, and who donated! It means the world!! 🥰😍🥰
