If you've had the priviledge of meeting Frances Carr, you will understand when I say that it is like standing in a huge column of sunshine. Not because she is "sorority sister" smiley outgoing but more because her commitment and humility warms your heart... it also shines a light on your own choices. In raw light, you are forced to really see your community. In revealing light, you are asked to really look at what you are doing to help.
Frances leads the Holy Family Soup Kitchen & Food Pantry downtown (http://www.holyfamilycolumbus.org/sec_skmp.html). Maybe you remember Frances from news stories when thieves ruined the kitchen's refrigeration units threatening to impact hundreds of people that depend on the soup kitchen each week. The kitchen rebounded, thanks to the kindness of many in the community that Marched Forth in support of the kitchen.
Frances makes you think. She doesn't intend to inspire. She just does.
She Marches Forth every day. She is direct. She is dedicated. She is strong. And she is respected by those that visit the kitchen and those living in the community. She is no frills - well, except for that ray of sunshine that emanates from her. She is humble, grateful, and oh so focused. She was called to work on behalf of her neighbors. Her light comes from inside. And she is happy, and driven, to share it with others.
How will you share your light?
How will you March Forth?
