QUESTION
In Our CommunitiesVolunteer in My Community
How did volunteering in your community make you feel? What is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?
Random acts of kindness always make me happy. It is always amazing that such a little act can seem to make such a huge impact on someone else. The happy tears or joyful expression remind me how important it is to continue being kind.
i do little random acts of kindness at work and it also brings such a joy to see how something even a small gesture can really impact someone's day in the best way
I also like the downstream affect that kindness has on other people. Sometimes a funny meme or joking with someone can impact their day which then impacts many other people!
Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?
I would love to consistently increase the amount of sleep I get. If I take less time for myself after my kids go to sleep at night and focus on sleep, I could be successful in this.
In Our CommunitiesSupport Diverse and Locally-Owned Businesses
What did you enjoy most about shopping at a diverse and/or locally-owned business? What are some of your favorite diverse and/or locally-owned businesses to shop at in your area?
I enjoy seeing the same people when I shop local and diverse. I know more about the history of what I am purchasing and what went into making it. We get all of our meat from GAR farm in Chardon, Ohio. I highly recommend checking them out. https://www.garhorizons.com/
When I am walking and picking up litter, people in my neighborhood stop to say hello. The most common item that I found today was monster energy drink cans.
