Last night I had the privilege of giving away my @thegivingkeys to someone who needed the word I was carrying, “clarity”. Today I’m wearing one that I have had for a long time because I still need the reminder of, “perspective”. This Is a company that employs people who are homeless to engrave words on keys. You buy a key and you wear it until you meet someone who needs the word that you carry and give it to them. Not only are you passing on things like hope, strength, and clarity, but you are helping people transition out of homelessness into full-time jobs, housing and a future they never dreamed possible. Check out @thegivingkeys for all your Xmas gifts and be a part of spreading positivity and hope! (They didn’t pay me to post this, I just believe in what they’re doing.)
