Last night, I went to a great seminar offered by someone I knew from high school (although I didn't realize it was her until over the weekend). She and her sister-in-law run a side business called "Crazy Couponers" and they teach people how to best utilize coupons and store specials to save money -- where to find them, how to use them, how to share them, and an overview of local stores' policies. It was a great couple of hours of my time, and while I already use coupons, I picked up some great ideas!
And I got to see some other friends from high school there. A couple in particular were girls I hadn't seen in forever -- probably not since my brother was in high school himself! They were just floored by the changes in me and wanted to know the whole scoop -- so I shared my information with them as well. (A quick note here: for those of you finding me through Vanessa's e-mail, I have a whole other blog which tells the story of my big change: Weighty Matters). So the evening was full of good news, good stories, good times.
On the drive home, I realized we had all been sharing wealth: a wealth of experience, knowledge and information. Debbie & Tosha didn't have to start a business to help people in a tangible way. They charged a very small fee, but we got back so much more. They did it to share the wealth - to help people in a real way. One person might save a couple hundred bucks a year on groceries or personal products they buy. Someone else might save two thousand just based on their habits or needs. And it's a habit that can be used whether times are good or bad.
I am grateful for their time, their knowledge, and their willingness to share!
