Life has a funny way of bouncing back what you throw at it – a boomerang effect that my parents instilled in me early on.

Life has a funny way of bouncing back what you throw at it – a boomerang effect that my parents instilled in me early on.
I know I said I wasn't going to write a blog this week so I could give full attention to our “Santa Returns” campaign delivering food and toys to needy children but this blog actually ties directly into that and I just couldn't help myself.
The idea that helping others is not just a selfless act but a remedy for the blues has been a guiding principle in my life.
This philosophy was further reinforced when I read Dale Carnegie's timeless wisdom in his classic book, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living."
Carnegie's prescription for curing depression in 14 days revolves around being interested in others, performing daily good deeds, and finding joy in giving.
So let's explore how embracing a mindset of giving, especially through charity work, can swiftly lift our spirits and transform our lives.
The Power of Giving
Carnegie argues that to be interested in others, to love, please, and help someone, is a potent antidote to depression.
Happiness, he claims, is contagious, and the act of giving triggers a reciprocal cycle of receiving. By focusing on the well-being of others, we divert our attention from our own worries and sorrows, ushering in a renewed sense of purpose.
Charity as a Catalyst
One of the quickest ways to put this philosophy into action is by dedicating your time to a local charity.
Personally, I have witnessed the transformative power of charity events, particularly during the times I play Santa, distributing food and toys to underprivileged children.
The experience not only lifted their spirits but had an equally profound impact on my own well-being.
Breaking the Cycle
Life's challenges often lead us into a cycle of self-pity and introspection.
However, the act of giving allows us to break free from this cycle.
When engaged in charitable activities, our focus shifts from our problems to the joy of making a positive impact on someone else's life.
Suddenly, the weight on our shoulders seems lighter, and a newfound appreciation for our own blessings emerges.
A Personal Journey
For me, participating in charity events is always a great attitude adjustment with one becoming a yearly tradition, and each time I jump into the Santa suit, I am reminded of the profound effect it has on my mindset.
The mix of emotions – the joy of helping those in need, the gratitude for what I have, and the sheer happiness of giving – creates a powerful cocktail that washes away any lingering funk or negativity.
Summing it Up
In a world where it's easy to get bogged down by our own troubles, the philosophy of giving provides a refreshing perspective.
By embracing a mindset of helping others and finding joy in giving, we not only uplift those around us but also experience a positive shift in our own lives.
So, the next time you find yourself in a funk, consider making a difference in someone else's life – you might just discover the quickest remedy for shaking off the blues.
Remember, life truly is a boomerang, and what you give has a way of coming back to you in ways you might never expect.

The first time I heard about Earth Day was when I was in the eighth grade and my well admired and clever science teacher opened up a discussion on the cons of earth day stating it was some sort of liberal nonsense and a hoax. This agitated most of the class.

I think we all agree that it’s so important to minimize the spread of germs. That is one of the most significant and preventative measures we can take.

Do You Know Why the Right Protective Green Coating Resembles our Largest Organ? The right protective coating can protect all parts of a building just like the skin protects all parts of a body. Both are the first line of defense and without them both our bodies and buildings would be naked eventually causing a complete breakdown. Our largest organ, the skin on the outside of our bodies protects our muscles, organs, bones and brain from infections, sunlight, temperature extremes and other threats. The same is true with the right coating that covers the outside of a building protecting occupants and the structure itself. It prevents the deterioration of interior building components such as heating and cooling apparatus, plumbing, electric and furnishings.

The true cost of a paint or coating is not just the price per gallon/liter. There are direct and indirect costs to consider.

As I travel and work internationally, I encounter different aspects and opinions on asbestos. It has a long background of use in all types of situations and still widely used in building materials. To date, it is still mined and incorporated into many products in several countries. It is controversial at best. My goal is always to try and enlighten and not frighten about some of its uses and misconceptions. The fact is that as much as it is opposed and even outlawed in some parts of the world, it is still mined, exported and used in many others.

As I’ve studied the issues of what building components are the main culprits of polluting our environment of both soil and water along with generating the most waste, I’ve found that roofing can be a leading offender. This also includes air pollution if the roofing contains asbestos. Asbestos is a large content of many roofs and wall surfaces worldwide and its microscopic fibers are continually released into the environment as it breaks down.

As I travel internationally and educate many on how to simply deal with solid hazardous materials and safely contain them with green coatings I’m always amazed how differently countries look at situations with building products and how to handle them.

Asbestos – The three options when addressing asbestos in building materials are: first, full blown removal; second, do nothing and leave it alone; and the third, in-place management.
