An inspiring email that we received in our KT email archives:

On September 15th 2011 I started feeding the homeless people after having lost my consulting job with Cisco. I realized that if I am having a karmic lesson through the job loss, I need to do something to build good karma. So I made 20 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and with fear went into the St. James Park San Jose, where there are gangs, people using drugs, and people who are mentally ill and disenfranchised.

I would quickly give the sandwich without looking into the person's eyes and get into my car - grateful my car was not broken into!!! I would feed 2-3 times a week, and each time it was quick-n-go. Then my fears started leaving me and I would stand up to the gangs in my own way when they would yell out for "Lamb"! My limited budget made peanut butter a stretch. Shortly I progressed to serving salami sandwiches. I used to be insistent on using Organic food, which I have let go now in order to feed more.

With time, I started connected with the people - looking into their eyes and then I started receiving BIG TIME. They would look deeply into my eyes, with heart open and gratitude shining in their eyes, many would softly say "May God bless you". I was so touched. I understood the strength of human spirit through the eyes of the homeless. My 17 year old has a profound experience when a homeless lady gave her sandwich back to my son and asked him to give it to an old man nearby. Talk about generosity at the face of great human turmoil!
