Recycle your old shoes

by 1 Comment

Have a lot of shoes that you don’t need?  Want to do something different than just take a box down to the local thrift store?  Want to know who the next owner of your old shoes is? Shoebox Recycling is just the ticket.

 

From the Shoebox Recycling website:

“As a for-profit recycler, we know that we can only do good if we do well. Every shoe we collect will be distributed for reuse at various local market places around the world. When you place a note in your shoes and tell the next owner what is special about them, you can trace the path they take and ultimately find your ‘Sole Mate’.”

*One thing to note, Shoebox Recycling is a for profit.  This is not a donation.

 

 

Gratitude

by 2 Comments

Gratitude is one of the most under-rated ways to change your thinking and your life for the better!

Therefore, I am dedicating this post and the comments on it to gratitude.  Let’s share our gratitude!  I will post again later with excerpts from your comments or quote suggestions, so please share.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
~Melody Beattie

 

I will start:  I am grateful to live in a world where I can sit at my desk and talk to people from so many different places.  What an amazing wealth of information and experience is available to all of us if we chose to seek it!  Thank you all for being part of this amazing web of knowledge.

ARC Customizable Notebook System

Do you work better sometimes with good ol’ pen and paper?  Do you have 6 notebooks with the start of 8 projects?  I have been there.

I have just the thing to make your life simpler!

The ARC Customizable Notebook System from Staples. 

I have been using this system for a few months and just love it.

Some of the Pros:

  • Everything in the system can be moved.  So you create the notebook that works for you right now. If you change your mind, no worries, you just move things around again.
  • You can get different sized discs to create your notebook, so I have small 1/2 inch discs in the notebook I carry with me and larger one in my main notebook.  Because everything moves, I don’t have to carry my whole food journal with me.  I write in the small journal and then move pages into my main notebook when I feel like it.
  • There are a multitude of options you can get to customize your notebook.  There are different sizes, covers, dividers, paper and more.  I use the 8.5 x 5.5 sized paper, with a leather cover, a poly zip pocket, poly tab dividers, poly pocket dividers and the smaller task pad.
  • There is also a punch so that you can punch other papers to put into the notebook.  Amazon carries the punch.Circa Portable Punch (Arc Customizable Notebooks by M/ Sold at Staples, Disc Bound Notebooks)
