I am a strong believer that when you give things that you do not need any longer, you are enriching the lives of others. There does not always have to be a price tag at the end of it, just helping others should be enough of a reward. This is a great time of the year to look through your closets, if there is clothing that you have not worn the last few years..give it away…it is a great feeling!!! Baldwin House, Agape Centre, Value Village, Salvation Army clients will all benefit from our kind hearts. This week we gave away our gently used trampoline to an amazing family…just the look on the kids faces when they were jumping on it, was enough to make us realize that we had done the right thing…
This is a great life recipe!! We have all heard of the saying “What goes around, comes around”. What you put out in the world comes back to you. How you live your life determines what kind of life you will have. I am a strong believer that when you live your life simply, no pretentions, whole heartedly, those around you will realize that you are a genuine, loving person and will want to be around you. During the last 6 years, my weight loss journey has led me to meet truly genuine, generous and unique individuals that have changed me from the inside out. You always meet people for a reason, whether it be for a challenge, life lesson or a great addition to your soul…there is ALWAYS a reason…they were placed on your path, it’s up to you to decide what you will do with this opportunity. Only you can make it a positive or a negative…. We have to take responsibility for our actions, we are the maestro in our lives!
