Stop Talking, Start Stocking

So, yep, I don't just stand on the box and yell for others to start Marching. I do *try* to live it. So, yesterday, for my 44th bday, I arranged for a group of my closest friends to help me celebrate. Lorrie, Ben, Amy HoneyLuv, Janna, Lisa & Jeff Redfield and I met at Lifecare Alliance after work. We got a tour of the new (since November) building which is amazing and chock full of programs, services and good work for Columbus seniors and also people served by Project OpenHand and the Columbus Cancer Clinic.

Our task was viewed as daunting by the Lifecare Alliance staff member. There was just one of her. But with an organized, energetic and goofy half dozen of people, we plowed through the two projects of organizing the food pantry fairly quickly. Seeing it as a time and quality challenge. We sorted and organized on pallets huge shipments of Ensure. So many flavors. So, forever, I'll hear "Creamy Milk Chocolate, regular!" echoed in my head. So, we helped a little bit. But we learned a lot. Thank you Paul and Andrea at LifeCare Alliance for helping me find a volunteer project. And a SPECIAL Thank you to Shelly at LifeCare Alliance who gave up a night with her family to help some of my "family" March Forth! So many blessings!
