An excellent idea for keeping the joy going!

The original suggestion is no mine however it was a thoughtful suggestion by someone on another discussion board for motivation and adding a communbiy sharing as we have weigh release.

The original excellent thought was for every pound that is released tha apound of food is donated to a food bank, charity etc. here are all sorts of non-profits that could benefit.

Now the expansion is so ones with modest resources could participate is:

How about time?

Gauge your weigh to have an an hour equal a pound. Perhaps like 16 ounces is a pound so is 16 minutes of community service or 1 pound 1 hour?

Or 1 pound= 30 minutes of active lisening wih no interuptions

20 hug
Or 1 pound send a kind note?

1 hour of no judgement.

1 hour of spending time with someone you would walk right pas (no putting yourself in danger is part of that equation)

16 min of prayerful meditation

1 hour an health clinic tha serivce the poor.

1 hour assisting without judgement a friend who has clutter

1 big girl oufit, jewelry, makeup to a women's shelter.

16 minutes of no complaining.

Please send me all your suggestions so we can compile a list.

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares". ~Henri Nouwen
