The shelter is now housing evacuees from Hurricane Ike after the storm destroyed a lot of Galveston and cut power to more than a million in Galveston. One of the evacuees at the shelter is my aunt Jennifer Smith. Luckily I am here in San Antonio to help provide comfort, get magazines, books, or anything she needs. I was also able to provide a cell phone from Cricket Wireless with unlimited minutes.

At first glance the Trinity Tri-Point Shelter looks to be a decent shelter but I have noticed that the temporary residents there are missing all the comforts of home.

There are very few books, no magazines, a TV that only has 2 stations a few DVD’s and that is really about it.

I am very proud of San Antonio for providing needed supplies to the Houston, Texas City, Baytown, and Galveston areas. Unfortunately San Antonio we still have more that we can do. I am calling on all businesses and citizens to come together again and Adopt a Shelter here in San Antonio. I am personally adopting the Trinity Tri-Point Special Needs Shelter at 281 and N. Saint Mary’s.

In this time you have been invited to give a speech to college students. The speech is normally a fictitious account of what you would say if you knew that you only had one last speech to give to your class.

Unfortunalty you have been told by your doctors that you only have 27 days to live and this really is your last speech to your class.

What would you tell your class?

What words of wisdom would you impart to your class?

How would you say goodbye?

Any other ideas?

Here is the official release from BlogCatalog.com

On September 27th, join 1,000s of bloggers around the world in BlogCatalog’s Blogging for a Great Cause Challenge.

This Blogging Challenge will be:

Bloggers Against Abuse
September 27th, 2007

The Outcome we are after is to be part of the largest group of bloggers to ever blog about an important cause, all on the same day.

So how do you participate?

On Sept. 27th, blog about putting an end to some sort of Abuse (you decide what kind of abuse to blog about).

In the meantime though,

* Spread the word among all the bloggers you know. Perhaps even give them a link to this Discussion.

* If you are a graphic’s designer, perhaps you can come up with some small badges announcing the event, that we can then place on our blogs. To share the badge, place it on this thread.

* List any organizations, on this thread, who are involved in putting an end to abuse.

What do you get?

You will receive a link to your Blog Post from the Blogcatalog blog when we list everyone who participated.

You get to use your blog for an important cause.

You get to create blogging history.

This is the basic thought process

Ask – ask for what you want to manifest
Believe – believe in what you want to happen
Receive – because you have asked and you believe then you should receive

How to apply this -
Be aware of the words that you use
Remove “NOT”, “NO” and BUT
Get really clear on what you DO want
When in a negative vibe as “what do I want”
Appreciate what you do have now
Be careful with Positive Affirmations/Goals
Write in your Journal of Appreciation
Learn tools to keep your vibes high

The Law of Attraction is not some new thought process. It is rather basic but you must focus and put it into action at all times.
