Tonight I wrote letter #111. It told a story.......a story about me. I wonder if she will want to read about music performers on a street corner - I wonder if she can envision the choir dressed in colorful robes with their hands held high in the air. The music took me to another place............a cottage in the woods where two special people stood behind a piano. Oh she knows them, did I tell you that? #lostlove

106 letters mailed. This week I wrote to a dying man in MO. He has chronicled his life for >50yrs, a wonderful tribute to leave his family. Some days it comes easy and the words flow. I wrote to a shut- in NC. I told her about the amazing, artsy and quirky fun places to visit in Sarasota. I hope my description transcended and for a moment she was able to leave her sickbed. I love my journey across the miles - delivered by mail carrier. Happy Easter All.

Yesterday I toured the Salvation Army in Sarasota. I couldn't help but think of my Buddy as I looked into the faces of so many young men who have lost their way. The face of homelessness has changed from what we used to call 'winos' to young men and women with untold stories of tragedy. When I was faced with homelessness @the age of 17 I had no idea there was such an amazing organization as the Salvation Army.
