I was just thinking about ways in which we could all help one another during times where money is a bit tight. I've come up with one or two ways but they aren't sparking my attention. Does anyone else out there have any ideas? I need some inspiration so advice is appreciated.
:hamster::Thanks:
It's not that the ideas aren't motivating me, it's the fact that when I've presented these ideas to some they don't seem to want to help. I used to belong to this one site and I suggested that we start up another group where we all barter with one another. I kept hearing from other's about how they needed help so I asked the person in charge and she said it would be too complicated.
Does this make more sense now?

From what I have gleaned through observation you have something to do with Green Valley Village, I think its a good thing when life gets so hard that finally people recognize they don't have as many options as they thought they had, only saying this for those who have placed such a heavy critique upon those who tho maybe socially deficient, were much more than the perfect people who never arrived, so while there has been this presumptuous finickiness of " are you good enough for us?" the world has gone into a meltdown and those you excluded are the ones who could have helped you.

Can this be said in a more understandable way? I don't get it at all!
Of course I didn't get Kai's post either. She has 2 ideas to help other people out, but they don't "spark" her, so she won't mention them, instead she wants to get inspiration from others. ???????????
My SUGGESTION is to GIVE something to others less fortunate, whether it be your time, energy, or resources. I'm willing to bet that most of us have more than 90% of the people on the planet. We all have something to share, but sometimes we're in fear, so we hold on. As long as we're
"holding on, our arms are full, and we cannot receive. When you open your arms to share, you will be in a more "receptive" position. The clearer you are on what you want, the more chance you have of getting it. I'm not talking about the "form", but only the "elements" of what you want.
Recently I wanted to acquire a car, and I listed all the desired elements, and began shopping. I was open to several manufacturers, and even open on the style. I knew that I wanted a vehicle capable of hauling. I'm always stuffing things in a little Ford Escort, and sometimes it's a challenge.
I posted an ad on Craigslist, looking for a mechanic who wanted to buy a 1992 Buick Park Avenue with 70,000 as a "fixer". It had been sitting in the driveway for over a year because we couldn't afford to fix it. We asked $1000 for it, which is what it would have cost for the repairs.
A mechanic who buys and sells vehicles responded, but said he first needed to sell a car he'd just finished fixing up. It just turned out that the car he had fixed to sell, had all my desired elements! I would have preferred a color other than black, but I actually realized that black is all colors, so it's actually a rainbow. So, with a little mind play, I've named my new car RAINBOW. The best part was that I traded a car that didn't work for one that did, and got all the "elements" in a form I'd never even considered:
a Toyota 4 Runner. Not only is it comfy, but I feel much safer with such good visibility.
So, I encourage everyone to be clear on the "elements", and less attached to the form. That way the universe can continue to give us what we ask for in the ways that matter most for our unique learning experiences.

Please re-read the post. I've added some more information so it may make more sense now.
