The coronavirus pandemic has left people nervous, jobless, scared, and everything else, BUT people always come together when we're down and out to help out each other.
Angels in Ocean County Helping a Beachwood Family .... It is a heartwarming story (recently reported in the Patch) that helps in these days and times, when most of the news is negative ..... this is a good one in Ocean County.
It's World Kindness Day so I've decided to blog about kindness. It's such a wonderful thing. And it is contagious! Yet don't you encounter a lot of grumpiness and stress each day? If we could all set out to do some random acts of kindness today, that might help chase away the blues on this dreary Monday.
My one friend has just moved here from Pittsburgh and she only knows a couple of people. I know how scary it can be to move to a new place so I'm doing what I can to help. When I first moved to a new place, a girlfriend hosted a tea party at her place so I could meet some of her friends. They soon became my friends so last night I held a dinner party so MB could meet some other neighborhood women.
I have to acknowledge the awesomeness of my friends who are welcoming MB with open arms. Within minutes, everyone who meets her is offering job leads and exchanging LinkedIn information. They're truly willing to help someone they hardly know. I'm so touched by that! They're acting like any friend of mine is a friend of theirs and that's a beautiful thing. Do you have a story about a friend really coming through for you? Or do you want to give a shout out to a pal who's always there when you need her/him? Please do so in the Comments section.
They're some of the NFL's roughest and toughest. But are they any match on the hardwood against teachers, students, parents, police and youth sports volunteers at Jackson Liberty High School this Saturday? Either way, everyone wins in a basketball fundraiser for township families in crisis.
This is what I love about the American spirit, everyone is always willing to help out when needed. 7 months ago we went through the horrible Super Storm Sandy, which left a lot of us New Jersians displaced. It's time to help out our neighbors in Oklahoma.
Succeeding in college takes perseverance and determination, however it can be difficult to do well academically when you’re hungry. Ocean County College is noticing more students than ever are having a hard time affording to buy themselves dinner or lunch.
