In 2003 we went to Disney World for the first time. And it happened…..I got the Disney bug. We decided to try and go every other year. If you have ever been to Disney, you know that it is not cheap. So, in 2005 I started looking for ways to make extra money and still be a stay at home mom. In 2006, I fell upon a place called Sunshine Rewards. You make money by doing surveys, offers, shopping online, etc. I tried it. I really liked it. I was plugging away making some money.

Then it happened. The owner of Sunshine Rewards decided to add a forum to her site. A forum???? Why would I EVER “talk” to anyone on this site. I know absolutely nothing of these strangers. Well….the same time she added the forum, she added a games section (tetris, frogger, demolition bobcat). I enjoyed playing these games, but in order to play these games you had to have a post in the forum daily. Great…..I suppose I can respond to something that someone has written.

And that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Not only do I make more money by being on the forums (some of the discussions are ways to earn money, contests, shopping deals, etc.), but these strangers have actually become my friends. And I am not talking about “come and go” friends. I am talking about “stay through thick and thin” friends. I am truly amazed at the kindness of these people on this site. In fact, some of the members have already met each other and some (including me) have a “Sunshine” meet in the works. My meet will be at the Mall of America with 4 other members.

I just recently had a birthday. I received several items, from different people, from my Sunshine Rewards family. It is so nice to have people think of you….even when your physical friends don’t. It is a place where you have a sense of belonging. A safe place to go without judgement. It is a kind place where people do not lash out at others….that is NOT allowed. The moderators over there are incredible.

So….if you want to earn money, come and join Sunshine Rewards. But mostly, if you want to feel loved and want to have a place where you can vent to people going through the same things as you, join Sunshine Rewards. I would belong there, even if money was not made. It is THAT great of a place.
