RoundUp App automatically rounds users’ credit or debit card transactions up to the nearest dollar and donates the “change” to your nonprofit. One of the biggest selling points of RoundUp App for donors is the fact that they’re only being asked to donate their spare change. How does RoundUp App work?

They view stressors as changes, not threats. Have some fun. Ask your manager for a change in your work conditions. Getting unstuck from ingrained stress-response patterns is not a small task, and many of us will find ourselves resistant to change.

Making friends was hard, but learning was fun. As Gloria Anzaldúa wrote, "I change myself, I change the world." Some of my best childhood memories are from going to public grade school. When I think of school, I think of: Creating a paper mâché Loch Ness monster and painting it red, white and blue to be the USS Nessie.

About 12 years ago my life hit a rough patch. One or two mornings per week I would ride the bus to a public middle school and help students write a story about their life. Not only did hearing their stories help me put mine in a different perspective, it was fun! I believe that it can bring magical changes into your life.

Change is hard. Even seemingly minor changes can give us a sense of dread — something could go wrong—or worse, could fail completely.
