Ted Gives Us Hope...

This is such a great Cinderella story!  

Meet Ted Williams....a guy with quite a few obstacles to overcome!

He's 53 (Hmmm so am I).

H'e born and raised in Brooklyn New York.

He's struggled with drugs and alcohol and he's been clean now for 2 1/2 years, way to go Ted!

He was living day to day in Ohio as a panhandler, but he wasn't just asking people to 'give', he was willing to share his gift, his strength to those that would help him.  

So he shared his gift, someone recognized it and put a spotlight on his talent.

Now everything has changed.

He is a YouTube sensation.

He now has an announcer job.

He's been interviewed by several major news outlets.

He's been flown to New York to be interviewed AND was reunited with his 92 year old Mom in Brooklyn.

Last week, he was panhandling.  No literally JUST LAST WEEK!

Now, everything has changed, except of course for his strength.

So don't hide your strength, share it generously with the world.

Watch this video and look for opportunities to share your strength today.

Thank you so much for sharing this Deb. I love it, I absolutely love it! These stories carry far more weight than listening to an over-achiever living on easy street list his many accomplishments. The value for life, the strength, the perseverance, and appreciation for all that this man has cannot be taught in ANY school.

I have always gotten pumped up by the underdog stories, maybe because I am the underdog!
God bless ya,
Carolyne

Hi Carolyne, my pleasure.
I agree with you about the underdog. In one way or another we all are an underdog somewhere. Thats why I think its so refreshing when we hear these stories of hope!
