Helping out

October

I just interviewed two local women who have written a book called “Do Good: 201 Ways to Lend a Hand.’’

The book, by Marcy Silverman and Cindy Sacks, is filled with common-sense tips that most of us already know. But how often do we really go out of our way to phone a friend in need or offer support to an acquaintance in trouble?

Look for the story in an upcoming edition of Mind & Body, coming out Nov. 13.

The book sells for $9.95 on Amazon.

When I was a kid, I sang a song in a play with the lyrics, “Do something nice for someone. You’ll be so glad that you did.” And I still try to live by that motto. It really does help you to help others. I’m looking forward to your story.

I have always tried to do for others what I would want others to do for me. I don’t know all of my neighbors, but those I do know, I try to be there if they need me.
My husband helps the widow next door, and the widower up the block. Lend a hand and someone will reach out theirs.
