the 757. 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,520 I'm in Newport News. 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,880 I'm working full time. 14 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,720 I got three, one, two, three children. 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,720 Amazing children. 16 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,720 Thank you. 17 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,720 As does she. 18 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,720 Three beautiful children. 19 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720 Thank you. 20 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,960 And the oldest one is in college. 21 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,840 And then I got two boys, nine and four. 22 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,240 And I'm navigating raising them. 23 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,560 I am working full time. 24 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,840 I do code enforcement. 25 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,200 We both do code enforcement. 26 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,360 But like Tina likes to say, we're the good guys. 27 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,920 We are the good guys. 28 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,760 So Dalena and I actually crossed paths some years ago in a different job setting. 29 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,560 Dalena was working at courts and I was actually a bail bondsman in Newport News for him. 30 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,560 Bang, bang, bang. 31 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,720 So at that point in time, I may have been considered a bad guy, but I was not a bad 32 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,720 guy. 33 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080 And so this time, this go around, our paths connected again. 34 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120 And believe me, there are no accidents. 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,840 Everything is by God's divine intervention. 36 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,840 Yes. 37 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,760 God's divine intervention. 38 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,040 So we are here today presenting you with the Sheer Motivation podcast. 39 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,360 We're going to encourage ourselves. 40 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,080 We're going to encourage you and hopefully you will encourage us back. 41 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,080 Yes. 42 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,360 And we'll help motivate you through your work week, empower you to think about things 43 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,900 from a different dimension. 44 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:56,560 We're all out here just trying to raise children, work, navigate lives, all of the things. 45 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,040 No topic is off limits. 46 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,240 We'll be covering a lot of different stuff. 47 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,600 We'll share some of our personal experiences. 48 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640 Well, the things that you need to know. 49 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 You know, it's only need to know base. 50 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,120 Okay. 51 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,400 And we'll be taking your comments and your feedback and we'll, you know, hopefully we'll 52 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,080 be encouraging each other and motivating each other just to think about things in a different 53 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,080 light. 54 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,760 We're growing on our spiritual journeys. 55 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Tina is a Christian believer as am I not perfect. 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,480 We didn't say we was perfect. 57 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,480 We are not perfect. 58 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,320 And we respect all religions, but we're sharing our journey about ours. 59 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,320 And you'll get to see snaps, snippets, and we'll talk about things and experiences where 60 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:51,520 we're growing our relationship with Jesus and our walk and how we're sprinkling that 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,000 into our lives. 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360 And hopefully it's encouraging to you. 63 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080 Now Delina did tell you that I have three children. 64 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,560 I live in Williamsburg, but I do work in Newport News and I've been in Newport News since 2005. 65 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,920 And Newport News is my second home as I am an Eastern Shore native. 66 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,560 And I do visit the Eastern Shore often, but Newport News welcomed me with open arms in 67 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,000 2005 and I was able to start raising my family there. 68 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,640 And now we live in Williamsburg, but I will be telling you some great things going on 69 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:29,880 in and around the 757, including Newport News, Williamsburg, Hampton, my great, the great 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,240 city of Portsmouth, which I love. 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,240 She love Portsmouth. 72 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,240 I love Portsmouth. 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,240 What you like about Portsmouth? 74 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,240 We're going to get into that. 75 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Listen, listen. 76 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760 What's over in Portsmouth that you like so much? 77 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,760 Yes. 78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,760 So you stay tuned for that. 79 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,440 We're going to be doing that good, clean, and most of the time free or affordable fun 80 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280 for the viewers as well as their family. 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,260 So some of the events will include bringing your children so that you can get out for 82 00:03:54,260 --> 00:04:00,620 a day in the park and include them in activities that will strengthen them and engage them 83 00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:02,040 in the community as well. 84 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Yes. 85 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,040 I'm originally from Detroit, Michigan. 86 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,960 We moved here originally to Williamsburg when my mom was living, but we'll get into all 87 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960 that. 88 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480 But we moved to Virginia to get away from the crime. 89 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,480 Yes. 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,480 What? 91 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840 We moved to Virginia to get away from the crime and it's a beautiful state. 92 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,680 I've learned, I've grown. 93 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,280 I mean, a lot of my childhood lessons came. 94 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,520 We moved when I was 10. 95 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,960 I was in, I was going to the fifth grade, so I've been here for a while. 96 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:40,840 My roots at the Rudy Root root, they're birthed in Detroit, Michigan, and I've been here for 97 00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:41,840 quite some time. 98 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:45,560 I went to Minchville, graduated at 03, baby. 99 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,600 Okay, where my monarch's at? 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,480 And I've been here ever since, and I'm raising children. 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,840 I'm in Newport News. 102 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,240 I work in Newport News. 103 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,200 As we said, I do code enforcement. 104 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:02,000 So some of you may see me out in your community telling people what to do. 105 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000 That's what they say. 106 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,400 That's what y'all say we like to do. 107 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,400 We're the good guys. 108 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,400 We are the good guys. 109 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,680 You know, but we do ride around and tell people what to do. 110 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,600 But not too, we're not too rough with it. 111 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,600 We're nice. 112 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,600 Right. 113 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,360 We love our people in the community and we're there to give them information and make sure 114 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,840 their properties are safe. 115 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,600 Their living conditions are safe. 116 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,680 But as the podcast goes on, we'll get into that and we'll talk more about that and how 117 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,560 that journey is in code enforcement. 118 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,240 So let's get into it. 119 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:40,960 Last week, we had a chance to do a webinar through our job and the topic was mindfulness. 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200 And so we won't get into all of the nooks and crannies. 121 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,800 But with that being said, Tina, we did the mindfulness webinar and what was the thing 122 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,440 that resonated with you the most? 123 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,400 It was more so exercising the mind. 124 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:05,040 I always say the mind is a muscle and using it and implementing consistent, consecutive 125 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,800 motions helps to strengthen it. 126 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:14,680 So with the mindfulness challenge, he had us thinking of where we were presently at 127 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,520 the time, not in the future and not in the past. 128 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,080 As we've already alluded to is we're both mothers. 129 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,920 We both work full time jobs. 130 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,800 We're both single females. 131 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,120 So we have a lot of things on our plate that we have to navigate through. 132 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,800 So when we're at work, sometimes our minds can drift away from the task at hand and think 133 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,480 of other things that we have to do. 134 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,880 Mindfulness shows you how to not do that, how to be intentional with your thoughts to 135 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400 decrease anxiety and depression. 136 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,400 Yes. 137 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,600 Because I know if you're listening to this or you're watching this with the way the world 138 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,320 has been the last couple of years, I think we all had a little taste of anxiety or depression 139 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,320 or mindlessness. 140 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:07,600 And some people still recovering from the mindfulness, but nonetheless, one of the things 141 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:17,280 that the webinar said in so many words was to just remember to keep your mind and your 142 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,400 therapy in the same direction, which I've heard before when I did my own therapy is 143 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,320 just, you know, fellas, if you out there watching the game with your homeboys, they focus on 144 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,320 the game. 145 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,720 Don't think about an argument that you got into last night with your girl or one of your 146 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,720 family members. 147 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,680 Because for one, you ain't going to know who won the game. 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,960 And for two, you know, you're not going to have a good experience with your friends and 149 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,960 hanging out. 150 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,840 And so that's just the thing. 151 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,400 You know, if something happened last week, let it be last week. 152 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,640 If something happened yesterday and today you're at a cookout or today you're on a cruise, 153 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,360 just don't bring yesterday in today. 154 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,020 Keep your mind and your feet in the same direction. 155 00:08:00,020 --> 00:08:02,340 And I will say life is an experience. 156 00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:10,780 So when you don't presently live and what's currently going on, you forfeit those memories, 157 00:08:10,780 --> 00:08:13,180 those opportunities, that experience. 158 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:17,160 So it's very important to be mindful with this exercise. 159 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,400 We worked on breathing, breathing techniques that every time that your mind would go forward 160 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080 or backwards, you'd have to reset your breathing. 161 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,520 So throughout that, that exercise, I learned a lot. 162 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Did you learn a lot? 163 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,520 I did. 164 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,520 I did. 165 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:39,840 I liked the breathing techniques and I like just reminding myself to keep my mind and 166 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,480 my feet in the same direction. 167 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,920 I have a hard time letting go of stuff. 168 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:50,480 You do something to me and it's like, I got a memory Rolodex, like an elephant. 169 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,100 I have a hard time letting go. 170 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:57,540 So just giving people grace and moving past, you know, anxiety, it affects your appetite. 171 00:08:57,540 --> 00:08:58,880 It affects your sleep. 172 00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,880 It's not worth it. 173 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,200 You know, it's really not, it's not worth it. 174 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:08,600 So just keeping the two in sync and putting one foot in front of the other. 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,000 And so that's important. 176 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,640 So we do know that right now we're preparing our children to return back to school. 177 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,640 And so are- 178 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,640 And that ain't stressful. 179 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Yes, that's stressful, a different level of stress. 180 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840 But a lot of other parents are experiencing that as well. 181 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,600 So we've talked about anxiety, sending the kids back to school can increase your anxiety. 182 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,560 You're worrying about how you're going to get your children the basic tools that they 183 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,520 need to set them up for success. 184 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,120 And also in the wake of different tragic events and violence that have occurred in schools 185 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,160 across the United States could be increasing your anxiety. 186 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,040 So we've talked about mindfulness and we've talked about anxiety. 187 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Now we're going to offer our listeners some resources to help them with preparing their 188 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,760 students for success this school year. 189 00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,760 Oh yeah. 190 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,000 So, you know, a lot of places are doing your back to school drives. 191 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,760 If you're a person that already has your school supplies set up, that's cool. 192 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:16,520 But if you're a person who needs a little extra boost, August 26 from 1pm to 4pm at 193 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:22,400 2009 Jefferson Avenue, Suite A, that's 2009. 194 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,880 Write this down, write this down. 195 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,400 Cause you know you probably doing stuff. 196 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,080 You got anxiety right now. 197 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,240 2009 Jefferson Avenue, Suite A from one to four. 198 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,840 It's going to be free, free. 199 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,800 Tina, I said free food, free music, and they're going to be doing a book bag. 200 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,760 So if you live in another city, you live in Hampton, you live in Portsmouth, you live 201 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,120 in Williamsburg or Yorktown, you can still stop by, get your, you know, your book bag. 202 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,760 They're going to have a bounce house music, hot dogs, all those things. 203 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:01,080 So you know, if you already have your school supplies squared away and you want to participate 204 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,320 and donate, they're also doing a fundraiser, fish and chips. 205 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,600 Everybody like a little fish and chips. 206 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,480 So go in and support. 207 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,160 And speaking of school supplies, I got a shout out my Facebook cousin, Markara. 208 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,120 She made an interesting point. 209 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,880 She said, you know, why y'all are out there shopping for school shoes and school clothes 210 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,360 and you picking up them phone posits, make sure little Johnny got them pencils and pens 211 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,360 and paper. 212 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Okay. 213 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,080 So if you won't get the phone posits, make sure you got the pens, paper and pencils. 214 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,080 Okay. 215 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Set our students up for success so that they can have the best grades and the best performance 216 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720 when they're at school to decrease their anxiety. 217 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,720 Right. 218 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,720 So check it out. 219 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,720 Don't forget. 220 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Sister to Sister, 2009 Jefferson Avenue, Suite A, they're going to have food, music, supplies, 221 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,120 all that. 222 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,120 So go check it out. 223 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,120 And what you got, Tina? 224 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,120 All righty. 225 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,960 The B Foundation is hosting their Back to School Community Day. 226 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:04,960 And that is also going to be held on August the 26th here in Newport News. 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,480 It's going to be at the King Lincoln Park. 228 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,000 A lot of people are familiar with that. 229 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,680 They're going to have a walkathon that starts at 9 a.m. at Ivy Avenue and 16th Street. 230 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,880 And they're going to have lots of fun food and resources to assist you and your student 231 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,880 with back to school. 232 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,880 They're going to have games and it's going to be a good time and it is free. 233 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,280 So keep that in mind. 234 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:33,160 On August the 26th, the walkathon starts at 9 a.m. at Ivy Street and 16th Street. 235 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,360 And then the event is actually 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 600 Jefferson Avenue, which is the 236 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,840 King Lincoln Park here in Newport News. 237 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:46,160 So support the Heath Foundation, Incorporated, as they support the local community here in 238 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,160 Newport News. 239 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,160 Yes. 240 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,120 And speaking of school supplies and school shoes, that's probably contributing to a lot 241 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,440 of parents anxiety right now. 242 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:02,920 I know I've had two to shop for this school year because that oldest one is in her sophomore 243 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,720 year of college. 244 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:10,560 So with that being said, it can be a lot juggling bills trying to get school supplies, school 245 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:11,560 shoes. 246 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:16,800 And one of the things as we've said in the beginning is I and Tina, we both are on our 247 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,820 spiritual journeys as well. 248 00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:23,780 And I've been trying to find verses that will help me in everyday life to grow my connection. 249 00:13:23,780 --> 00:13:27,080 So if you're dealing with a little bit of anxiety because it's back to school, you're 250 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,200 sending your children into a place not only where you got to buy school supplies and school 251 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,080 shoes, but you got to pray and hope that your children are safe as well. 252 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:42,360 And so in Philippians chapter four, verse six through seven, it says, be not anxious 253 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:49,720 about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition and with Thanksgiving, 254 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,160 present your request to God. 255 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,840 So if you're struggling with a little bit of anxiety about getting the supplies, school 256 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,280 shoes, clothes, keeping up with everyday life, don't be anxious. 257 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Pray about it. 258 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,280 Give it to God. 259 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,680 Pray over your children in the morning, send them to school, pray over their safety and 260 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,960 it will relieve a little bit of that anxiety and you will start to grow your faith and 261 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,000 your relationship with God. 262 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Definitely. 263 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,320 And as we journey through this spiritual walk, when you are making your request known to 264 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,960 God, it does not have to be a deep, deep prayer. 265 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,680 It is simply your request and it's your language and God needs to hear it from you. 266 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,520 So as Delina said, we're here for you. 267 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080 We're here to support you in your spiritual walk. 268 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,440 We're here to pray with you, to pray for you as you pray for us as well. 269 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,440 Right. 270 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,440 And we're going to motivate. 271 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,040 What you say with that, because a lot of people don't start because they think it needs to 272 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,040 be perfect. 273 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,040 Well, I ain't perfect. 274 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,800 We're not perfect by far, but we know that we need God. 275 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,280 Even in the times that our family and friends aren't there to support us, we know that God 276 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,880 is an ever-present help. 277 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,880 So we have to rely on Him to calm our nerves, to ease our thoughts and to help us journey 278 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,400 through this thing called life. 279 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,400 That's right. 280 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,400 That's right. 281 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,200 So, you know, tune in every week because we'll be talking about that stuff and our development 282 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200 in that area. 283 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,800 So if you're dealing with some anxiety, pray and. 284 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,480 And one last thing about the school supplies. 285 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:22,920 If you have, if you do not have young children, say your children have grown up or maybe you 286 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,920 do not birth children biologically, do keep in mind that you can make charitable donations 287 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,280 to organizations such as your church or community partner to help those families that are in 288 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,280 need. 289 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:40,160 So if you have time to purge your closet, to get items that you no longer are using 290 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,320 out of the way, do donate those items so that our community can give those items a second 291 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,320 light. 292 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,320 Yeah. 293 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,320 And the stuff that's gently used. 294 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,240 CHKD is a good place. 295 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,800 They have several donation boxes around the cities. 296 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,760 So, you know, bag up that stuff that they're not using as gently used from last school 297 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,640 year or the summer and donate it to a children who may be in need. 298 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,240 With that being said, let's get into the small business shout out. 299 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,240 So a couple of weeks ago, I had a great experience. 300 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:17,220 We did a small boat cruise, some friends and I is if
