Donating Office Supplies

It is back to school time
in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is the perfect time
to donate
some of your surplus office supplies.

Because office supplies
can often be used
as back to school supplies.

I had 31 white binders
I had once used
to hold manuscripts.

A primary school
nearby
was happy to have them.

I donated two backpacks
to the Little Free Library.
They were gone
in less than an hour.

I’d been given
those backpacks
as schwag.

I also donated a package
of pens
I’d been given
as a gift.

Donate unwanted
office supplies.

Put that positive energy
into the world.
Make someone’s life better.

Box Sh*t Up

Today is Boxing Day
in many parts of the world.

Boxing Day was historically
a day to box sh*t up
(leftovers, etc)
to give to needy people.

I carry on that tradition
by boxing up
gently used
or unwanted new
sh*t
to give to charity shops.

I clear out sh*t.

I free space
for the new year,
for all the sh*t
that will accompany
those exciting projects.

And I pass along
the unwanted sh*t
to people/entities
that will benefit from it.

Box your unwanted sh*t up.
Give it a new home.

Those Books On Your Shelves

I recently cleared
a shelf of business books
in my home office
and
donated them
(5 every couple of days)
to the
Little Free Library
in my neighborhood.

Business books
DO have a shelf life
and I hadn’t looked at them
in two years.

Donating them
freed storage space
and they might help
another business person.

If you have business books
you likely won’t ever
look at again,
consider
donating them.

Give them
to someone
who might use them
and
make their world
a better place.
