The Positive Page-turner's Challenge: Take 20

The Positive Page-turner’s Challenge: Take 20
This should’ve been a post in December, but I had church offering that needed to go to other causes (e.g. Toys for Tots donations) and so pushed this off into the new year. On the plus side, I feel confident that I will achieve one more Positive Page-turner’s Challenge this year.
            As I’ve done for awhile now, I will be donating $5/book in this picture. 17 books seems to be my magic number. I will be donating $85 to my home church’s Sunday School Fund. It will go in as a gift by The Reading Rutabaga in February.
            Especially after the holidays, most of our financial belts feel stretched thin, but I still encourage any readers to contribute what you can. If not with money, then volunteer time. If time is stretched thin, too, consider saying a kind word at the checkout or help someone reach something on a shelf if you’re able. For instance, I’m no help getting things off the top shelf (unless I climb it), but if you need someone to squat down and grab that can off the bottom shelf, I’m your person! Let’s make humanity look good in ways big and small. Be kind to one another! <3

Happy 2025!

Happy New Year! Whether the previous year ended on a high note, a low note or somewhere in-between, 2024 is done. You got through it. Box it all up, brush your hands off and store it away, because you’ve got to make room for new memories. 2025, here we are! What does the top of the new year look like to you? What are your plans/goals/dreams? I wish for you a prosperous, safe and healthy new year. Knowledge is power, so keep learning every day. Do something outside of your comfort zone; you only live once. Take care of yourself, because you are worth it!!

Sending love and sparkles,
Lisa
