“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be 
shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~ Buddha
Sharing Idea # 1: Have your neighbors and friends over for dinner. By cooking a large meal for many people, you can buy in bulk (thereby spending less money per meal) and cook it all at once (thereby saving time in cooking vs. cooking individual meals). Not only does it save time & money, but you get laughs, learning and community out of it for free.

Health tip: Want healthier gums & whiter teeth for a few pennies a day? Daily mix a dime-sized portion of baking soda with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and apply to teeth (do not scrub with toothbrush as baking soda is very abrasive and can cause damage to your enamel), let it sit on your teeth for a couple minutes then rinse your mouth with water.
When you hear the word ‘sustainability’ what comes to mind? Trees? Flowers? The world with a big smile? Sustainability isn’t just about the environment, for anything to exist for a long time, it needs to be sustainable. Ask yourself a few questions: Is your life sustainable? Your health? Your finances and purchasin
g habits? Your spirit? Consider if your life stays on the current course, whether you’ll be able to look back in 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years and be glad of the choices you made. Consider what you’d like your life to look like and what would be needed to live that life. Read up on a sustainable life here.
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” – Maria Robinson
Consider what changes you want to make and what might be holding you back. For most people the only thing holding them back is fear, not so much fear that it won’t succeed, but really just fear of the unknown.
“The key to change... is to let go of fear.” – Rosanne Cash
Sharing Idea # 2: Use the library – here in Denver I get all of my books, DVD’s & CD’s from the library for free. Save money while saving resources (fewer books, DVD’s, CD’s created & shipped). And who really needs to own a book or DVD after they’ve read or watched it. Instead, pass it on for others to experience.
“Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~ Norman MacEwan
Revitalize & Rejoice!
