We were at my favorite local market last week getting a few things – I try to go daily and get a few things like my Mom used to do in the 70s, instead of the dreaded gigantic grocery store trip which overwhelms many a Supermom on the planet – and this dude approached Philippe in the parking lot and asked him to buy him a sandwich.
When we walked into Tom's, a customer asked Philippe, "Did he hit you up too?" Philippe said yes and she said, "Well he's making a phone call now – from his iPhone 7."
We looked outside and sure enough, he was. Then he walked over to his car – a fancy car – got in and drove away.
I had many feelings about this experience. I'm sure you do, too.
What do you do when someone approaches you and asks you for money or food?
Sigh.
My response is different every time, depending on the person, the situation, the energy and my intuition. There is no right answer to this question. One thing I always do (which I do with and for everyone I meet) is send light, love, blessings and good energy from my heart.
A good place to start.
