Life is Beautiful

I just want to let all of my followers know that I am so friggin happy at this point in my life and things are moving in a forward direction. I have started a new business by the name of Timmy’s Only Delivery and it has really improved my self esteem.
I am somewhat confused how I personally can see and feel the difference.
I don’t really know exactly how to explain it but I will try.

As some of my followers are aware, I was housed up until a few months ago. Since my becoming homeless once again, I have become a lot less stressed and plenty of time to think about my situation.

Sometimes being homeless can be easy; however, saying this, I must say that it also isn’t a walk in the park .I think sometimes that it can be too easy to become caught up in the system. I say this because I have been caught in this homeless trap on more then one occasion and have actually learned from my past mistakes.

As of Thursday night I will into housing of my own once again and I must tell you, I feel very proud of myself for getting a place in such a relatively short period of time. I will be living up north near Country Hills Blvd.

About a month ago I met a new friend by the name of Chris..He is a great person and he has also helped me with some creative ideas of his own for this business. Chris is also getting into housing as of tomorrow. He has actually found a different place. A month ago when we first met…Oh before I forget, we have met previously through the Salvation Army but had never really struck up a conversation… back to what I was saying..A month ago neither one of us really thought we would be housed at the end of January. Yet, here we are both getting into a place and is due in great part to our staying away from the Drop In Center during the day and both of us have been very happy and upbeat about life during the past month. We are probably currently the happiest homeless people in all of Calgary, one day away from being housed…oh what a joyous feeling….we are both proud man…One other thing me and Chris have in common is..We will never forget where we came from and hope to help other homeless in the near future and I know we will…I promise…

I would like to add to this blog a quick note that I am a very determined father trying to get access to my children and I believe with all my heart that this is a great opportunity to show exactly what Tim Barber is all about. Destiny and Tyler…Watch out..Daddy’s coming…I love you and I miss you and I will hold you and hug you very soon…

Before I go on any further, I would like to let you all know that I am no longer afraid of what the next minute, hour or day will bring…I don’t think in the past and am moving forward in my future…Thursday morning there should be a story about my business in the Calgary Herald and I am sure I am going to be very busy…I invite you to buy a copy of the paper tomorrow and you can tell all your friends that you are a follower of this person…Or whatever..Anyway..Thank You all for your kindness and overwhelming support…Please comment on this blog and remember those who are still struggling to find their way..I know I still try to do the best I can to encourage others in any situation…and I most definitely always provide a friendly smile…You would be amazed what a smile can do for others..not just the homeless but anybody..Even you…

I am sending my happiness your way and I do hope it puts a smile on your face..now go and pay that smile forward…Thanks again for the most wonderful support a man could ever have…

One last thing before I go…Kim Porter Gagnon…You are and always will be my Hero..I love you…always…

Almost there
Tim Barber

Happy Tim!

I am starting to become happy and I'm not scared any more. I am actually starting to think a lot differently about life these days. I would say that this is a very good sign that things are getting better in my life.... I, Tim Barber am starting to understand a little more about the meaning of life. ...

OK.. Have I confused anybody yet? I have had my good days and my bad days... Everyone gets them. I think! Lately things have been going... How do i put this... I've been much happier when i wake up in the morning lately...No dirty thoughts please...

The fact of the matter is.. I have learned to adapt to a homeless life! I, however am not going to let this easy way of life drag me further to my knees. Yes, i said it.. I think it is to easy to live homeless here in the City of Calgary. It is a topic that would take up to much of this particular blog.. so lets move on...

I am very proud of myself... I have now officially(business license) and all become a homeless entrepreneur. My new business is called Timmy's Only...
Can you believe it.. I have a small business... I know.. I'm still in shock too!
It is a delivery service for Downtown Calgary..Mostly coffee and donuts but I plan on delivering whatever my customer wants(McDonald's,subway,Timmy's,etc..)

I am currently residing at what they call the warehouse...,It is a part of the Drop Inn Centre...It is actually a safer place to be , then the actual Drop In...Compared to the Drop In, the warehouse is ten times better,...

I really don't know what else there is that I would like to share with you at this point but I needed to write about my happiness...I will tell you this though... I will be posting more frequently.. I look forward to comments.
