The month of March has marched right in and it always reminds me to be hopeful.
1. The Spring Blossoms Begin to Appear
At the end of March, greenery begins to erupt from the ground after a dark winter. I always get excited when I first see a daffodil beginning to bloom. The earth turns rosy with color, a powerful reminder of the cycle of life.
2. The Church Bake Sale
At our local Church, there's always a bake sale in March. One can participate as a baker (make and donate some sweets) or come in to support the cause by buying (and eating) the yummy baked goods. It's a lively community gathering and the proceeds help restore and maintain the Church...TADA!
Maybe you have something like this in your neighborhood that you can help with or why not start one for a good cause?
3. Donations to the Food Pantry
During the pandemic, a lot of these community food pantries were created to share resources for those facing food insecurity, and many of these have stayed up. It's a place to take what you need or leave extras, no questions asked.

I came across this thoughtful list and had to share it, in case there's a food pantry near where you live:
This March, let's bring value to our community. Kindness and compassion always turn everyone's day from blah to TADA!
