We just got an email from someone we helped recently, and they were embarrassed to reach out for help again! With medical bills piling up (and a little rain) their situation has gotten worse!
Now we can’t have that here, so we are going back to help them again, but now I am thinking… what if others need our help but they are too embarrassed to ask? Who else should we go check on?

Change of plans! Originally I was going to upload the "homework video" from the editing course I took today, but I still have a few more hours of editing that I need to do. I am going to postpone it one more day, and will have it ready to go on Saturday morning. This is the story of an entire neighborhood that we cleaned up this past winter, so these transformations are already on the channel, but none the less, I am really proud of how its turning out, and I know you are going to enjoy this one. Hope to see you there!

Quick heads-up and a question for all of you! I’m taking an editing course at night this week. Between spending time with my family and my day job working in this West Texas heat, I might not make it back to Michelle’s house just yet, and Youtube wants consistent uploads.
To practice, I’m editing the footage from that full neighborhood project we cleared this past winter. So here is my question for you. Once I complete the course and the video is done... should I post it?

I need your insight!
This summer has been crazy hot and busy for me. I have started a project but haven’t had a lot of time to go back and finish.
I get comments that tell me that “normal people can’t make a difference” so I have an idea that I want to try. Monday will be 35 days before I turn 35 years old. I’m thinking what if I give up my lunch break at work, and spend 35 minutes a day to clean up something around my community the best I can? I can’t guarantee it would be perfect in that amount of time, but I would upload these as shorts daily for the 35 days and prove that we can make a difference.
I still want to do long form videos, so those won’t go away but this will allow me to actually help more people during a busy season with work and life.
So what do you think? Are we doing this?
