I’ve been down for the count over the past few days with a migraine that left me wishing someone would just shoot me and get it over with. Pain medications didn’t even help. Thankfully, today, I awoke feeling like me again without the pain monster in my head. I have a lot of catching up to do around the house and I am trying to get it all done before the weekend arrives.I know I haven’t been blogging about fiber related goodness. That will resume soon, possibly after the weekend. My life is presenting some new avenues at the moment, and opportunities that I am seriously considering taking a firm hold of.

The published letter in the paper has taken on a life of it’s own. There is talk at the local paper of setting up blogs on their server for a few web journalists. I may end up being one of them. An online column. The editor is beginning to get requests from readers of how to contact me. One gentleman even tried to look me up in the phone book, (I’m not listed) and then resorted to emailing the editor requesting that his email address be forwarded to me as he would like to continue the discussion of finding solutions to the homeless in our area. He is interested in bringing something like L.A.’s Dome Village to this part of the valley and would like to discuss it with me. Other’s are reaching out as well. Maybe if we can organize, maybe we can affect some change to make the situation better for those who are less fortunate around us and therefore make it better for ourselves as well. I don’t know where all of this will lead, but I suspect it is the beginning of a new voice to be heard, even a new organization for our area. Right now I feel humbled that a few written words may have started a snow ball in the right direction. I also feel humbled that it looks like I (yes, little ole’ me) might be asked to be part of the beginning of some sort of non-profit organization because I believe that the hopeless can be helped with a hand up.

I need to sit back for a little bit to digest what is happening. (I think I am actually in shock at the moment. Nothing I’ve ever said has snow balled like this before.) I’ve always heard that sometimes it just takes one voice, I just never dreamed it would be mine. Have a great weekend everyone. I’ll be back on Monday with some actual fiber content.
