Hey Everyone,
My first Soles 4 Souls event was an amazing success!! It took place in Nashville and we made three stops, where at all three stops we gave out a pile of shoes to people that needed them and appreciated them very much. For me, it really puts things into perspective. Sometimes we take things for granted when there are so many people out there who would just give anything for a pair of shoes. When I was handing out shoes you could’ve sworn that I was handing them a million dollars. To see there faces light up with huge smiles the way they did makes everything that Soles 4 Souls is doing worth it!! I serenaded the folks at all three stops and they all appreciated the entertainment. It was just a little extra something I thought I could offer to them. Memorable moments to me especially was when we went to the school to hand out shoes to the young kids. This wasn’t just any school, no, this was a school that catered to children from all around the world who don’t necessarily speak a lick of English, but are learning the basics to speaking English and furthering themselves in the United States. These students were very bright and they surprised us all by entertaining us with songs they had practiced up for us! And they all did a great job! Another moment I’d say that sticks out in my mind would be when we made the stop at the Womens safe house. These women are in there for a number of reasons but all for the common goal of becoming independent again. You know, abuse just doesn’t fly with me and I am so greatful that I was raised by parents who taught me the true values of life and how to treat people with respect, especially to have respect for a lady. Well I have a number of Soles 4 Souls events coming up and I can’t wait to make more memories along this journey. I will update you all as I do them and fill you in with all that happens. God Bless!
