Our Monthly Impact “Happiness Challenge” is chugging along nicely. As always, we wish there were more people participating, but we send our thanks to all who are getting involved. We thought we’d share a few tidbits and samples of what some friends and followers have posted, sent to us, added to their Butter Be Happy [...]

Week 24: Charity at Home
Posted in Military, Random Acts of Kindness, tagged Charity begins at home on June 16, 2010 |
I admit it. When I’m heading down a road with my destination in sight, I don’t always see the beauty and opportunities offered along the side of the road. I’m too busy concentrating on that destination. From the first day of this month, my “tunnel vision” has been put to the test. But, I’m learning [...]

‘Twas once that defining a friend was simple. A friend used to be someone whose company I enjoyed, someone I’d seek out to spend time with, someone who I could count on and who could count on me. Life’s joys and amusements, trials and tribulations would be shared. We’d laugh and cry together. Today, I [...]

If Impact were judged by variety and creativity, May’s Monthly Impact Challenge of Random Acts of Kindness would certainly get two thumbs up. But, we mostly judge Impact by impact.

A friend of mine fell upon a funny little website the other day and passed it along. I can’t help but share and make it into this week’s Impact Effort. We hope you’ll consider coming along. The website is Butter Bee Happy (yes, we agree, it’s a really silly name) and simply put, it’s a [...]

I admit it. There have been times when we’ve said, “what have we gotten ourselves into?!!” “Life Happens,” and not always at moments when it’s convenient. Twice during the first 20 weeks we’ve had to scale back our expectations due to illness, household “disaster” or just plain fatigue. But, we’re proud to say that we [...]

Whether your life or those around you are touched, whether you read or watch the news or not, you can’t help but know that worldwide, the economy is less than stellar. It’s causing anxiety for many and, sadly, even hopelessness and depression. And, we believe that the disturbing initiatives in some States in the U.S. [...]
