Sharing is caring - especially during the holidays! This season is always about giving back! One way that I spread love in person is by creating a "brown bag goodie bags for the homeless" and then delivering it to a homeless person. I also have all of my friends and family make "brown bag goodie bags for the homeless!" This holiday season instead of gifts have your family and friends make "brown bag goodie bags for the homeless!"
What you need: A brown bag + a bottle of water + a box of granola bars + a toothbrush + toothpaste + small first aid kit + $5.00 gift card to McDonald's + a pack of hand warmers or toe warmers + a candy bar!
I am working on a website + hope to grow this project! If you are trying to find a way to give back then I hope you will join me in my journey to give back to those who are less fortunate in my new project!

* As President Obama said today "Veterans Day is a chance to pause and remember those in the military today, not just those of World War II, Korea and Vietnam." "We are a nation that endures because of the courage of those who defend it," he said. "We saw that valor in those who braved bullets here at Fort Hood, just as surely as we see it in those who signed up knowing that they would serve in harm’s way."
We at BLU send our prayers and love to the families and friends of the fallen.
