365 Days of Fun and Chillaxation – Blog#169 – HANDy Relations
Have you got a complementary currency in your community? Honestly, they can be so useful. Here in Golden Bay I’ve been making the most of ours, which is called HANDS (just in case you’re new to this world of Happyzine). My son’s third birthday is fast approaching and I’ve been attempting to source a whole lot of healthy snack food using HANDS (for the party, the poor kids). Joanna the ‘HANDY Messenger’ (yes, this really is her job-title) is the official coordinator for HANDS. It’s her job to strengthen the community. So today she was the one who answered my plea for yummy foods to buy on HANDS. She had a think, and a wee flick through the HANDS directory and whatdoyaknow? She found someone who said they offered ‘party snacks’ on HANDS. In fact there are two people who offer this service. Does that seem random to you? It did to me. I’m going to call one of them in the morning. Somehow when spending HANDS I really feel like going to town. Today I bought two more bottles of pure cinamon essential oil using HANDS just because I can, and it just makes me feel so good (what is it about cinamon?)!!! Joanna seemed determined to help me find everything I needed for my wee boy’s big day. I felt deeply touched. Birthday’s are important to me. As a child mine felt like national holidays, such was the fervor. On days like this I really appreciate living in a close knit community, and I really, really appreciate living in a community with such a well organised complementary currency.
