1. Since 1990, Clean Up Australia Limited has sponsored a yearly Clean Up Australia Day. Have you ever taken part in a ‘clean up’ initiative where you live?

Every three months, Arizona has bulk pickup. You clean up your yard, help clean your street, clean out your garage, clean out your closets, get rid of old appliances, and anything else you want to get rid of. Everything goes on the curbs in front of your house. It's a big deal and our street always looks great once everything is picked up. It also helps people out that were looking for work. It takes a lot of people to pull this off.

Ways To Make a Difference

There are so many different ways to volunteer. I don't volunteer as much as I used to because I'm not as healthy. So now I help out mostly by donating to worthy causes. I give monthly to my food bank near our house. We also give to St. Jude's Hospital monthly. Two more, and then I'm done. I give monthly to PBS and to the library near us. I hope that it helps. I used to volunteer at the food bank, but it got harder and harder to do. I believe that the donations make a difference, even if I feel like I'm letting them down.

In what ways can you practice kindness, both toward yourself and others, more intentionally?

This one is a little bit easier than the one I was supposed to use. It doesn't take much to be kind, and sometimes someone needs it in the worst way.

When I go grocery shopping, I watch for customers using electric carts. They have a hard time reaching for something on the top shelf, and I ask them before they ask me for help. You can also smile at everyone you pass. I always say, " Have a good day. “

No matter where you are, remember that someone might have lost a family member that week, and your smile might have helped them in a small way. I am not usually rude for this reason. Just remember that someday you might be the one who loses a family member. We all need those smiles or kind words.

Lemon cream dump cake double this for 9x13 pan. This one is super good and easy.

* 1 (16 oz.) can lemon pie filling
* 1 (15 oz.) package yellow cake mix
* 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, thinly sliced

1. Preheat your oven to 350º F and generously grease a square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. This simple step ensures that your cake will effortlessly release from the pan, leaving you with a picture-perfect dessert.
2. Now, let’s lay the foundation of our Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake. Gently pour the lemon pie filling into the bottom of the greased baking dish, taking care to spread it evenly across the surface. This vibrant layer sets the stage for the tangy explosion of flavor that awaits.
3. Next, it’s time to add the irresistible allure of cream cheese. Take the cubed cream cheese and distribute it evenly over the lemon pie filling, ensuring that every bite is infused with velvety smoothness.
4. Now, let’s sprinkle on the magic of the yellow cake mix. Cover the cream cheese layer with half of the cake mix, allowing it to form a tantalizing blanket that will envelop the creamy lemon goodness beneath.
5. To elevate the texture and taste of our creation, thinly slice the unsalted butter and arrange the slices in a single layer over the cake mix. This final touch adds a decadent richness that will leave your taste buds craving more.
6. With our masterpiece assembled, it’s time to let the oven work its magic. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. As the aroma of freshly baked cake fills your kitchen, anticipation builds for the moment of indulgence that lies ahead.
