Have you read it? If not, you might want to. One ofContinue reading “Pay it forward…where it started for me.”

The shift starts with you.
I challenge you to search online and type in the search box “give back” or “pay it forward” then place a comma and your hometown. See what comes up.

Solstice happiness.

It’s one of you crafters that makes me feel so special by creating and then mailing it. I’ve gotten some amazing happy mail this week.Continue reading “Sometimes it’s the little things.”

Maybe you just can’t shake someoneContinue reading “Giving back…”
Laughter is a way to give back.
Do you know someone going through a rough patch? They might just need a laugh. Have you been grumpy? Find someone that can help you giggle. Yesterday at Card Class we evidentally all needed to laugh. We laughed so much that the store owner next door came to see what was the matter. We weren’tContinue reading “Laughter is a way to give back.”
