So, how come being gracious and welcoming with me at the grocery store yesterday doesn’t count as a mitzvah… #850
Listen, this getting food to hungry people (that otherwise would get thrown away) is something I do every day of the week. As they say, let’s talk. I’m in contact with some others who do this as well, and I can tell it’s an area of concern in your life (not that you would be doing the hands on delivery necessarily, but I can imagine you rustling up volunteer support for at least one of the really good “food rescue” endeavors already underway in PDX).
Please have your father-in-law connect with me. Depending on how long he lived in the same town I’m from, he may know my family well. We go back there two generations on my mother’s side.

The more I learn and follow your “mission” – the more I am inspired. Congratulations on being able to make a positive difference in the world. What a rare and underappreciated gift. Here’s to the next 10K – that’s a race worth running!
Linda,
I was touched with your “mission” as I watched you on AM Northwest this morning. I, too, have been transformed this year as I started sending out a heartfelt card everyday to tell people how much I appreciate them. I wanted to bless people by that small act of appreciation-but found out that I myself was changing. Before I started this, I battled a critical spirit-now I am finding something to affirm and appreciate in everyone I meet. I am taking up your 7 day challenge. I am excited about it. I am on a sabbatical from Kenya and have wanted to get involved somehow in the community-but was sort of paralyzed by all the choices, programs and needs! Now, after listening to you this morning I realize I don’t have to get involved in a project-but just find ways to bless somebody in small ways each day! Thank you for your inspiration!
I heard and saw your show a few minutes ago, and loved it. What you may or may not be aware of are the mitzvahs you do without labeling them Since your fathers death you have been a solid friend and daughter to me. You have made the past two years more special than they would have ever been without your phone calls, flowers, cards and the awareness of my emptiness, and your wonderful ability to help fill it.
Thank you for all of it Linda. Although I have known you for most of your life, I still wonder at the beauty of your soul.
Alayne Rabow
