When I offered to buy 90 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from my granddaughter, my daughter's response was, "Over my dead body!" Here's what happened next.
As a passionate girl scout (and top cookie seller in my day), and later a troop leader for my own daughter, I absolutely love this story. While the cookie sale raises funds for troops (and scholarship funds for girl scout camp and other outings), it also is an opportunity to learn about values, meet your neighbors, practice public speaking, and acquire entrepreneurial skills. What a lovely way to support her cookie sales, make the most of a teachable moment, and infuse some delight into a community. And A+ for your own learning and reflection along the way too.
I love all of this!
Thank you.

Thanks Lisa. The whole experience was joyful for me. Proud of my daughter for objecting. Joyful to take my granddaughter to each charity. Felt great.
