Is your bowl full?
I am always so grateful that my bowl is usually full...or at least never empty.
An "Empty Bowls" event was held today in our community of Tecumseh, Michigan. Empty Bowls is an International grassroots movement to fight hunger. Many artists, students and craftspeople created bowls (mainly pottery) and donated them to be sold for $10, $20 or $30 each. Our local fine dining establishment, and bakery donated soup to fill these bowls once you have purchased said bowls and also donated use of their facility and staff.
You end up going home with a bowl (or 3) a lovely lunch under your belt, a sense of amazement and pride at all of the community that has participated in this event and a warmth that your community raised over $3500 to fight hunger. What more could you possibly want out of a Monday?
Since John and I didn't get there until nearly 2pm, I kept my soup until suppertime, washed my new bowl and Taa-daa! Beautiful!
