a story of hope.

I took a shortcut around the back of Bella Terra to avoid the Starbuck’s crowd when I spotted a woman sitting on a curb in the Macaroni Grill parking lot. I see her regularly at the off-ramp to the 405 South. She was perplexed when I stopped. I rolled down the window and asked, “Can I give you some help?” and held up the bag for her to see. A smile came across her face and she said, “I love those things!” When she took the bag, she said, “God bless you!” -- Steve Shepard 9/30/09
