Here's today's wonderful news
about a wonderful world!
This
is part of a series of daily reminders that a more wonderful world
is being built from the actions of millions of people, each day. You
are offered examples to explore whenever you would like to be uplifted
and inspired, energized and reassured. This is a wonderful type of world
news!
It seems obvious that we experience what we are paying attention to, so if we want more life-enhancing experiences, we should direct more of our attention to more life-enhancing news, happenings, and stories.
Also,
when we feel life-enhanced, we are radiating, broadcasting those
"vibes" outward, and others are uplifted into resonance, to some degree.
And the more of us radiating, the more others are uplifted. So joy is
service!
In
this series, we emphasize discovering whole groups of people who are
creating a more wonderful world, each in their own way.
You
can add things you find, for others to discover and pay attention to,
via commenting on this post, or any post in the series. You can access a list of links to each post in the entire series by clicking here: https://divinelightchurch.blogspot.com/2020/11/wonderful-world-news-list-of-published.html
DAY 152
"A short-hand equivalent of when grocery stores ask shoppers to round up and give the surplus to charity, she’s adding a 1% line item on every client invoice as a way of generating money for non-profits: and other interior designers in the state have been joining her.
"Seeking to utilize the real estate and home furnishing industry’s familiarity with the problem, Jessica Helgerson started the One Percent Project and found that among her interior design business’ 25 clients, only one opted out of the voluntary 1% charge.
“When you’re working with people who can afford an interior designer, that might not be a lot of money to them,” explains Helgerson to Fast Company. “That has really fostered a lot of enthusiasm; people are excited they can be part of it.”
"Launched in 2019, the One Percent Project is now generating revenue for nine Portland and Oregon state organizations that work ro alleviate homelessness, including Community Warehouse—a sort of Salvation Army that allows people transitioning out of homelessness to shop for free.
"The grant they’ve received through the One Percent Project has so far come to a whopping $150,000, which Community Warehouse used to buy a new van to make deliveries."
Now
it's your turn. Inspired by what you've discovered, what is one thing
you will do this day to make the world more wonderful for yourself and
perhaps also for someone else?
