At Union station in LA last month, a board with the headline 'Give what you can. Take what you need' went up with money stacked to it. A project by Tyler Bridges of 'The Toolbox', he said people of all races and gender and socio-economic backgrounds gave and took from the board.

ReplyDeleteToday's quote is quite inspiring. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh I just adored these...especially the newly weds and the Chinese village.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing - in the nicest possible way!
Thank you so much for sharing.:)
Have a Great Weekend! :))
The first quote, so true.
ReplyDeleteThat board is pretty cool, and I am glad (and hopeful) that people were honest in their giving and taking.
Pretty cool how nature will take back a place, like that last pic. Bet that is a pretty haunting place.
@Highly Favored: I know just what you mean. Much of the reason why I post inspirational stories is to highlight the positives in the world- a break away from all the negativity we see daily on the news. Many thanks for your comments, much appreciate!
ReplyDelete@ Pat Hatt: I thought so too, and the money board is a good in that people giving back are much more than those taking away. Nice to see you on here!
@Nkem Okechukwu: Hello, thank you for visiting!
@ Ygraine: I was amazed by all the stories, really touching. Its good to go into the weekend with a positive attitude. Thank you, always nice seeing you on here!
@X: I quite agree with what you said, good to see honesty in giving and taking around the money board. Nature is nature, everything will eventually return to the beginning some day. Thank you, and best wishes!
That give and take board would last about 3 seconds in Florida! But I do like the photo of the abandoned village. Mother Nature has reclaimed her own!
ReplyDeleteIt is never too late to do the right thing, huh! At this age, some might wonder, "what's the point?" But they did what was right.
ReplyDeleteI love that. And the quote is beautiful, too. A lot of reading and writing for me this weekend. I am trying to finish FIFTY SHADES FREED.
Happy weekend, love!
@ Lowell: Ha, that's not good. Yes I like the photo of the village too. Many thanks for coming by!
ReplyDelete@Nerline Germain: I know what you mean. Its a good thing indeed. Looks like your weekend is all planned out nicely, do enjoy and have a nice one!
This is sweet better late than never.
ReplyDeleteIts really never too late.
ReplyDeleteThat man doesn't look 103 - it's amazing he got married. I think if you put money in a public place, people will be wary of taking it, even if they want to. Love that green, green village! Have a lovely weekend! :)

I love the abandoned village. Creepy yet strangely beautiful.
ReplyDeletecool on the money board and i love how nature took over the abandoned village again, making it such a magical place - happy weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHello and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that a couple of such great ages can even consider marriage let alone actually take the vows. I am impressed by that and by the leaving and taking of money. There has to be honesty involved there.
Congrats to the newly wed, they are a sweet couple! It is a good cause to stick money on the board from the generous and willing people and allow those who needed the money to take from the board. The moss has conquered all!
ReplyDeleteThose two look really good for their age! May they have a few happy years together. Thanks for your frequent visits!

ReplyDeleteI love the inspiration you provided here. It's amazing to me that someone could have a money-sharing effort and people wouldn't just have the board be blank all of the time. People can be honest and kind and giving. It's a beautiful thing. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that photo of the Chinese village is so unreal!

Wonderful photos, I love the moss covered village. And those too golden oldies getting married are really huggable! Thanks for sharing, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely couple, best wishes to George and Doreen. Warms the heart to hear of such stories as the money wall in LA. Thank you for sharing these pictures and stories.

ReplyDeleteThat quote spoke to me!
ReplyDeletethe couple looks cute!
ReplyDeletewhy is it covered in green- a very strange sort of 'alien' green :P
Wait, so on the money board, people just go there to take money? Wow. If only this could work in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd be one of them
So much inspiration from all three posts. Love, giving and photography....so cool.
