Dressing Folks For Free For 20+ Years
Let's be honest folks, we can't just walk around naked. 
The New York City Clothing Bank has been around since 1986 taking donations and distributing clothing to shelters and organizations all over New York, New York specifically so that people don't have to - walk around in the nude that is!

For those of you who don't know me personally, I received my Bachelor's Degree in International Relations and wrote my thesis on South African Foreign Policy, so this peaked my interest today:
"All South African babies under the age of one will be treated if they test HIV-positive, President Jacob Zuma has announced in a major policy overhaul."

Amazing things are bound to happen.
Someone told me recently they are not quite clear on what it is that SG is intended to do, and well, the phrase above maybe, sort of, a little bit sums it up...
Something Good is meant to share with you, all the good that is happening, will be happening and can happen.
Women Hold Up Half the Sky
Here’s a problem that had simply never occurred to me as a major factor in the economies of developing nations: Menstruation. No need to squirm, it is a fact of life and has an effect on life for women and men.
Millions of girls and women in developing countries miss up to 50 days of school/work per year. This is a huge problem, period.
A Bit On Connecting

You may remember the blog about the hug. I've had more hugs, recently, in the form of other things, umbrellas, emergency exits, water bottles and figs. I'm re-reading, editing and realizing that I am coming up with more and more that I could add here. Ways in which I have shared with people, connected and hugged. This isn't meant to be warm and fuzzy, just know that this is about connecting, my connections, my proverbial hugs and a hope that I can inspire you to hug too.
Brian Bordainick Is Someone Good
How about this idea: “charity begins at home” someone very dear to me tells me all the time that there is plenty of good to be done here, at home. That I should look into that, do some of that, get into that. So here’s something good, close to home, in the country I call home at least...

The feast, as mentioned in my last blog, went above and beyond my expectations, and here's why: Being in the beginning stages of a start up social business like Something Good is terrifying, especially when trying to go it alone. I have no idea what I am doing. I hit the ground running about a year ago only to scrape my knees, brush myself off and discover that the finish line is an undefined concept that I can't Google or Wiki or otherwise lazily discover. Not only that, but i can't even see the finish line.

I am back from the East Coast.
I'm at home and late for bed, but it is important that I share that this trip, was outstanding.
The Feast went above and beyond my expectations. I met extraordinary people. I have loads of goods to tell you about and I am terribly excited to do so.
At the moment however, I have to go to bed! I have to be at work early in the morning and it is already late at night.

I'm on my way to New York.
I'm leaving in less than 10 minutes - but I want all of you to know, before I get there, that when I get there I'm going to eat some bread.
If you happen to be in New York, you should eat bread too.
This is why.
Hot bread kitchen was started by an Echoing Green fellow and to me it sounds like Something Good.
Here's the deal:

I’ve been all over the place, figuratively and literally; SF, LA, SF, Yosemite, Job Hunts, New Jobs, Family Stuff, Friends Stuff, Work Stuff, Life Stuff... anyone ever notice how demanding living can be?
