Withdrawal

Posted on 12:56 PM by Unknown

Tales of a Female Nomad (Rita Golden Gelman) introduced me to the Favor Bank concept, which asserts that the entire world is a bank – we all go through life making deposits (whenever we do a favor for someone) which means that whenever we need a favor we’re entitled to a withdrawal.  It’s just as important to take out as it is to put in, because each time we accept a favor we’re allowing someone else to make a deposit. 

An abbreviated list of donations for the raffle at Celia's Walk, Nov 6th.

2 Blue Jackets tickets
Beauty in Life professional photography package 
Cardthartic's House of Cards, featuring Celia
LibbyJo's Fine Art painting on canvas
ladies' Cool Tie Dye Ohio State shirt
Broadway Design Group Nail & Spa package
Buffalo Wild Wings gift card and sauce pack
gift cards to favorites like Starbucks, Panera and many more
homemade treats - jelly, jam, honey, professional cakes
and handcrafted items - scarves, baby hats, holiday quilts, felted purses

With SO MANY people giving, Gelman's Favor Bank seems like a good idea for those of us who have trouble taking to keep in mind.
