Fasting is cleansing…
…and the rewards are unexpected benefits, if not at least tremendously rejuvenating. There are enough documentations on fasting, so we won’t get into it here. Just google it, if you’re curious >
The idea for this Be More! Initiative™ was inspired by another social media post. In that post you’ll learn about a slightly different version of fasting, discovered and shared by Sergio Palacio on March 4, 2019.
Find ONE item each day for the 40 days of Lent, and donate them to a local charity. Do we need to mention that the donations should include only items that are in good condition and intact?
Rid yourself of excess while doing something good.
Do you really need to make 99 cents for a plate, that you now have to pack and carry to the post office? The idea of trying to sell certain things online turns up to be a waste of time and listing fees in many cases anyhow, so you’re doing yourself a favor when you give them away to those who can use them.

This collage below gets the idea across. Your donated items should not be discards, but perfectly good wares that will make another person happy to receive them.

Now let’s see if this idea will get enough people to act, so it can make a difference for a local charity or family.
And as with everything else, this activity qualifies you to earn KR Points.
