From Alex Kreher:
I
hope you had a nice holiday, and a lot of people who thought of Theo! During
the Christmas time and beyond I thought a lot about Theo and every time I did
something good, I thought of him even more. It felt so good. I gave the change
I had in my pockets to a homeless man while I walked pass him, I bought two
other homeless people a couple cans of soup and drinks.

From Haley Cowan:
a
couple weeks ago before i went to my focused inquiry class here in Virginia i
meditated and did yoga with crystals to prepare myself for the day. i
carry my crystals almost everywhere i go. they are used as
reminders for myself to always be mindful and as a reminder to disperse any
negative energies that come my way. the crystals mean a lot to me and i
have almost 20 different beautiful ones but i never keep them for too long.
like anything in the world, if you cling onto something then lose it, you
will suffer.
after my focused inquiry class i went
to lunch with two of my friends. in the middle of eating i realized i had
forgotten one of the brand new crystals i had taken in the classroom i was just
in. it was a big chunk of calcite that i had just bought with my own
money that was surprisingly a little pricey for something that came out of the
earth. running back to the building, i realized that there was another
class that came in right after mine so i was thinking about how much i was
going to look like a complete freak when i barge in there asking if anyone had
seen a large rock sitting on the desk.
when i came in and asked, one girl who
sat in the seat i was previously sitting in claimed in right away and sounded
sad when I came back to retrieve it. at that moment i decided to just
give it to this random person who'd i had never seen or met before because i
realized how fixated she had become with it.
after saying that, i knew that whole
class was surprised, i could feel it in the room. i detached myself from
that crystal right at that moment because i noticed how happy she was to now
have it. i hope i gave these students some form of inspiration and reason
to not to cling onto everything you own and realize how amazing it is to give
someone a little piece of you.
before and after that time, i have
given many people i personally know crystals. i want to teach people that
giving something to someone random gives you the same feeling when giving a
gift to someone you know personally. the feeling of giving is one of the
most amazing feelings. when you detach yourself from things you cling
onto and once you lose it doesn't seem so bad. you start to realize that
there is reason why it's not in your possession anymore. maybe someone
else needs it more than you.
