Good things comes from the heart, in a manner of speaking. That doesn’t mean that people can’t do something good without some sort of expectation — in the case of community events and coming together, the unifying force, if you will, is the event or cause. Some may want to meet other good people, make friends, or find activity partners who enjoy similar things. Others may be trying to be more social and looking for ways to connect or overcome personal obstacles. Whatever the case, people from all walks of life have shown up to show support for children, the elderly, the environment, and more! So, people are at the heart of what makes 757 Uplifters great! You all put out positive change into the world!
I have been thinking of ways to show appreciation, beyond giving my heartfelt thanks — presently, 757 Uplifters is completely out of my own pocket, and some people have generously given and/or offered to give, and I greatly appreciate it! If people wish to support me, then I gladly will accept help by way of having the podcast shared so it can grow, and I’m open to discussing other things, but my aim with 757 Uplifters is to make it as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, hence why I tend to supply things for the events. In a world where it seems like to do anything, more and more places are being monetized and it’s harder to find things to do without money being involved (minus travel/gas), I want people to feel like they can contribute and belong, no matter their personal hardships. I have, for over four years, as of today.
Thank You For All You Do!
I’ve decided that one of the best ways for ME to show thanks outside of words was to create gift bracelets for the people of 757 Uplifters. It is doable with my budget, though it will admittedly take me a lot of time to make a lot of bracelets, since I currently am a leader at two different jobs, while also working on 757 Uplifters projects, but I will be sure to make them during my down time. You all ROCK, so please keep paying kindness forward!
