This is Only the Beginning
Sacramento Helping Hands is working to bring hope and help to Juarez, Mexico. This highly populated city is on the border of the Rio Grande, just south of El Paso, Texas and was once well known for its drugs, crime and murder. It is now seeing a great turn around. One of the most poverty-stricken areas of Mexico is now experiencing great change and a positive future.
We have seen firsthand the great work that is being done in Juarez as a result of the determination and dreams of a team of dedicated individuals who have a passion for the area. Once the original building is finished this year, there are plans to expand and help even more children and families. Your donations and support are helping accomplish this great work.
Now children who grow up in Juarez can live, learn, work and play in an environment free from the poverty, drugs, alcohol, prostitution and crime. This is a new norm from the previous reputation of the area. The land has been bought and the building is going up to provide a safe place, where children can be fed, find shelter and comfort. Mothers can drop off their younger children and have them watched by a kind and loving group of care-givers while they go to work to provide for their families.
This is only the beginning. The next phase of the operation is to build workshops on the property. These will house training centers to teach the young people trades that they can use to support their families while they finish school.
Thank you for helping us help others change lives – from children, youth and families make Juarez a better place to live AND succeed!
If you find yourself beginning a sentence with “I would, but,” “I know, but,” or “yeah, but,” you are in the excuse making phase of how not to reach your goals. In other words, your “but” has become too big — more important than the goal.
This “but” is truly versatile, used to keep us from seeing many dreams come to pass — finances, education, relationships, career, fitness, lifestyle, etc. Anything that has to do with moving forward successfully in any area of your life requires the “C” word – commitment, yet we have all found ourselves using the “B” word – but, instead.

Local Walmart Stores (#1881 and #2735) honored this year’s graduating High School and College Seniors, who happen to be Walmart employees, in a memorable and momentous celebration.
Much thought and planning went into this graduation and it was so much more than the students and their families anticipated.
With the schools shut down, online zoom classes, sports on hold, movie theaters and malls closed during this time of quarantine, these students thought they would have to miss out on one of the most monumental times of their lives and dreams.
Store managers welcomed graduates with touching speeches
Thanks to Walmart’s partnership with Sacramento Helping Hands, the day was great — as memorable an occasion as any traditional graduation.
Complete with fully-decorated stage, balloon arches, live DJ, diplomas, caps & gowns, photographers and videographers and swag bags, the festivities were amazing. The Sacramento Sheriff’s joined us, along with area businesses to add to the perfect graduation celebration.
Out of town relatives were able to watch it all on Facebook live and share the memory as well.
Store managers welcomed graduates with touching speeches and each student was able to walk the stage and receive their certificate from dedicated employers and co workers in front of proud family and friends.
Students were grateful for the time and effort Walmart and the community put into this wonderful celebration. They knew that they had people who truly cared about them and valued their future.
Sacramento Helping Hands was thrilled to partner with Walmart and touch the lives of our community and our future. It’s so fulfilling to be a part of our community’s efforts to make this time of uncertainty very encouraging.
It’s time to get your “but” out of the way, and I’m not talking about adding some exercises to trim, tone and firm your gluteus maximus. I’m talking about your “but” – that big, gigantic reason for NOT going forward towards reaching your goals. You’ve either said it yourself, or you’ve heard it said, “But, I’m too tired…, “But, I don’t have time”, “But, I’m too old, (fat, uneducated, etc.)”

Doing Something is Better Then Doing Nothing
Don’t feel bad; just stop struggling. It’s time to get off your “but” and get on with committing to a better year and a better you. Yes, some amount of time has come and gone, BUT it is not too late.
If you are reading this, you have made the first step towards doing something about your situation.
Let’s do this – Pick ONE of your goals and work on it.
It truly does not matter which goal it is – just pick one that is fairly doable so you can have a win under your belt. Nice to start a new phase in life with a win!
You probably have something in the Physical Goal category…
Improve overall fitness? Lose weight? Eat Healthier? What is yours?
1. Write it down
Example – Lose weight
2. Make it specific
Example – I want to be at my ideal weight – 130 lbs.
3. Make an “Affirmation” about it
Example – I AM at my ideal weight – 130 lbs. – and it is easy for me to maintain.
4. Write a few more affirmations to go along with it. I AM consistent in my exercise. I drink plenty of water each day. I AM consistent in the amount of sleep I get each night – 7 hours. I ENJOY eating healthy.
You DID IT! You got started! Make copies of your affirmations (I AM declarations). Put them in strategic places – refrigerator, computer, bathroom mirror.
Say these every day. Your thinking will change and you will find yourself making healthier choices regarding your overall fitness.
Sometimes those “buts” try to show up and you need to nip it in the bud. When you hear that uncontrollable statement come up as to why you can’t do it, STOP. Take a deep, deep breath and regroup.
Remind yourself of your “I AM” statements and realize that you are on a wonderful journey to a healthier and more fit you – at your ideal weight.
Something is better than nothing.
If you have been discouraged and not taking the best care of your body….. if you have been unmotivated to get moving, it’s time to get your but out of the way and take first step to a happier, healthier you.
Set a goal – 7 days/21 days/30 days.
Ideally, I want you to do your affirmations for 30 days. On day 31 you begin a new 30 day challenge. Walk for 10 minutes a day – every day.
Next challenge is to drink more water each day – start with one 16 oz bottle and progress from there.
What you don’t hate, you will tolerate. If you really hate being where you are and hate your “but” being in the way, then let’s DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Start today to write and repeat your I AM statements each and every day. You will be more empowered, motivated and dedicated to go to the next phase of this amazing journey.
Thanks for taking me with you! We can do this!
Speak up and say, “Out of my way, but. No more excuses. You are not the boss any longer.”
