Day 36- Gooey Goodness

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo

I saw the potential in the dough, and molded it until it was a tasty masterpiece!  And then proceeded to share it with our favorite neighbor and a new friend.

It feels good to share :)

Day 34- Slowing down

While at our local library, Isaac and I noticed two very elderly people checking out books, and honestly, didn't look like they were making it very well.  We hung out for a minute, and held open both of the double doors leading outside.  I saw a little glimmer in their eyes, and even though they didn't say much as they hobbled out, I know they were surprised and appreciated it :)

Day 33- The Golden Crust

Sometimes you just need a crust :)

Today I took my friend out for lunch at The Golden Crust- super tasty.  It seems to be a food week, doesn't it?

I wanted to be sweet and buy her lunch, especially since she does so many nice things for everyone else.  So, a little kindness her way. 

Afterwards we went to the Jamaican store next door, and found some really interesting blue laundry soap for hand washing whites- supposedly getting your whites super white.  Well, sadly enough, I did not have the meager .50 to buy it (I'm a plastic only type person...) and the girl behind the counter spotted me the remaining .15!  LOL.  Kindnesses are being returned at a surprisingly high rate friends.  I did not anticipate so much love and appreciation shown in return for my meager blog, but I'll take it.  I'll take it all and keep sending it right back out :)  And the best part- Isaac will never have dingy socks again! ;)

Day 32- Yogo Ono!

My kindness today was very, very hard to do.  After all, being coerced by my son to eat fabulous frozen yogurt almost sent me over the edge!  LOL.  Alright, so not all kindnesses are hard to do, like some people assume.  Lots of them are easy and taste great too!

Yogo Ono held a benefit night for Kennesaw Charter Science & Math Academy (kennesawcharter.com) and based on how packed the place was, I'd say it was a success!  It was really fun to get out and see the kids and meet some new parents as well :)

Isaac's coach even got in on the fun!

Thanks so much Yogo Ono for a great night!

Day 31- Tacos for Teens

I love Taco Bell. For one thing, they are tasty. And secondly, they can make anything you want vegetarian, and I appreciate that ;)  But more than that, Taco Bell also gives back to the community in a variety of ways, including their campaign- Help a Teen Graduate.

By dropping your spare change into canisters at Taco Bell® restaurants, you can help invest in a teen’s future. Canister collections help us provide support to teen programs at Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide Canister proceeds are used to benefit your local community.

Easy & fun!  Isaac has won a few times, Chris a lot, and me.... not so much ;)  But really, everyone wins when it's for such a good cause :)

Day 30- Free Rice!

Early this morning I sharpened my vocabulary and donated over 400 grains of rice!

About FreeRice

FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme.

FreeRice has two goals:

• Provide education to everyone for free.
• Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide (www.freerice.com).
