My Walk Through Life 3/15/2018




Kindness. One of the easiest things you can give to another person. I constantly hear about about paying for the coffee of the person after you in line at Starbucks. That one is rather silly, in my mind, but if it makes a person feel better about themselves and makes someone else smile, then it is good. Instead of buying the coffee for the person behind you, buy and extra cup and give it to a homeless person. They would probably appreciate it much more than the person who was in line to get coffee anyway. 
  Pay attention to the people around you. If you see someone struggling, help them. If an elderly person is having a hard time putting groceries in their car, stop and help them. If someone needs a smile, give them one. We tend to keep our heads in the clouds and forget there are other people sharing our space.
  Homeless people are literally brought to our town in buses from Utah and Denver. I do not give money to the people standing on the corners but I do donate items to the homeless shelter. They are always in need of personal items, cleaning products, coffee, and such. If you want to help, check your town and see what their needs are. A friend of mine buys pizzas from Little Ceasars Pizza and takes them to the park where many of the homeless stay during the day. 
  Keep an eye on your elderly or ill neighbors, especially if they don't have family around. There are always things you can do to help them. Mow their lawn, do minor repairs, see if they need anything when you run to the store.
  Our world needs to be kinder. Maybe it would make it safer and a much better place to live.

Another rebate site. DOSH. This is a phone app that will give you an automatic rebate for eating out, shopping, and staying at hotels. 

If you shop online, Ebates is a must. I get checks from them every few months for doing what I do anyway. Free money makes me happy!

Checkout 51 offers I use this app along with Ibotta and I always get some of my money back. Great rebates sites.

The bathroom sink is calling you! Let's shine our bathroom sinks and counter tops. Scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe down with Windex (remember to be careful that you are not mixing Windex with any bleach products, make sure you rinse very well before using the Windex). Take time to wipe down your counter tops and give them a shine as well.
Your mission for your Stash and Dash space is to go back again to throw away anything that needs to be tossed or recycled. We are going back to do this again because now that we have peeled back one layer it is very possible that there is more to be tossed or another space to toss from.
