I already put this on your Instagram, but to increase my chances of free coffee I will do it again. ;) I was in school last semester and working full time, and of course the longest and most important in service was during my midterms week. My coworker knew I was stressed out over it, and when walking into in service she walked up and gave me my favorite Starbucks drink { a dirty chai over ice, YUM!} and told me she knew I needed it. It really turned my day around!
ReplyDeleteRecently over the holidays someone ahead of me at a drive thru paid for my meal! I decided to keep the good will going and paid for the person behind me too :) I think it is pretty cool that someone was willing to pay for a stranger.
ReplyDeleteCps has been involved in my family for as long as I remember. When I was little, my sister and I lived with our aunt & uncle, they were very abusive. We had a caseworker name Clarissa, she was totally aware of the situation but didn't do anything. Finally one day, a new social worker name Melissa took notice and helped my mom get full custody of my sister and I. She made a huge impact on my life, that's the most wonderful thing someone has ever done for me and I'm truly grateful.
ReplyDeleteNot so random but we donate our gently worn jackets, shoes, etc especially our sons since they grow so quickly to donation bins here in Raleigh/Cary NC. I try to remind friends and family that instead of throwing away these items especially when in great condition to donate them to a family in need or to the donation bins. seyma_bennett AT hotmail
