You paid my toll on the Golden Gate Bridge!

I'm feeling tweaked, and I want to know that I'm being loved by someone out there randomly because that means we're part of a community and we see these hashtags. We're all in it together, but really, are we feeling it? Are we doing it? So that's my question to everybody. If you want to join in or think about it or don't need to. Wax Poetic You don't need to have an answer to this

#payitforward How are we able to really feel that we are in this together?

Treat delivery 🚚

And so every weekend I've been trying to make some time to Bake or Cook something that is a treat to me that I never have before. So it's an experiment, and there's always maybe a lot of room for failure. But so far it's been going well. And the treat delivery system is I do this and I have a ton of treats, and then I just deliver it to anyone I can find in my community who maybe needs a treat that day

Anonymous giving 🤙🏼

So to be generous and philanthropic, I guess you could say in a very small way, anonymously is challenging, but I think it's very healthy. And I think it's something that I don't know. It's good for your soul in a way, but it also gives you some discipline. Me personally. It gives me some discipline about sort of humble brags

#thankyou for the #package

Hey, Deborah, thank you so much for sharing that story. So I have a very timely one. I was just at my sisterinlaw's place yesterday, and as I was walking up the steps to her home, I saw that she had placed a basket outside that said, thank you for delivering packages, help yourself to a treat. And she had kept some cookies and some packeted foods and some water bottles out there. And I thought that was very thoughtful

The gift that keeps on giving

I feel so grateful for some of these ideas. And I'm going to employ them in my own life right now, which is so wonderful. It's like this whole conversation is the gift that keeps on giving multifold, because as each of us embodies some of these ideas, we integrate them into our lives and we reach lots of people. So it's like if this starts living into the world, it's even more profound. So thank you for all these ideas. Suit

A community space taking care of its community 👏

And one of the things they have been doing during the pandemic is putting out free make your own mask kits, and every day they put them out, they're taped on the window of their storefront. And people can just take them in order to make a mask or like my friend right now because she has a bit more time. She's been sewing the mask for me, which is so nice

And they've all had a hard time given the lockdown situation. And so the community has kind of come together, and we've all taken turns to help them out. But even so, I think there is still so much more we can do and thinking about the mask shaming incident that happened. And we've got a very interesting swell on that put up by Shami on swell
