In today’s episode Kristin shares an experience she recently had with a homeless man she spoke with. She talks about the experience and what she’s learned from going up and asking his/her name and finding out what is going on with him/her and the situation they are in. She talks about helping in our communities and as importantly about connecting with people- letting them be seen and listened to. She challenges us to be givers and consider our views on homelessness and others in need right around us- do we have an open heart or have we become septical and cynical about who needs help and who might not. She chooses to approach the world and people with an open heart and a heart of giving instead of worrying about if the person is truly in need or being truthful.
