8.16.10 Mission #3: A&P Supermarket, Old Tappan, NJ

So, it's a new day and new days bring new strength and blessings. I was visiting a friend in Old Tappan and we had plans to make lunch together. On our way home, we stopped by at A&P, and I thought that's the perfect place to drop off some "grace." Old Tappan is one of the wealthiest suburbs in New Jersey. It's paradoxical that the most glamorous places are the most poverty stricken. Poverty of the heart that is.  The more money one has, the more "stuff" one hoards, the bigger the inner loneliness and emptiness becomes. I read a quote from Mother Teresa that even the wealthiest and most put together person hungers and needs love and care. It's interesting how we, as people, all need some hope and miracles in life no matter who we are and where we are from :)

The Hellen Keller quote reads:  “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” 

I left the surprise in the A&P bathroom.

I wrote a card with Hellen Keller's quote on it. 










I picked up some "Empowermints" as an encouragement.  
And, of course, can't forget the business card!
