However, when they 5 within about 15 feet of them, they were 6 by the smell of McDonald’s fries. McDonald’s shared video shows people approaching the sign to 7 the smell. “Is it McDonald’s?” asks one of them, while a second says: “Fries?” A third then says: “I smell fries,” with a fourth adding: “It smells like a Happy Meal — McDonald’s?” and a fifth finally 8 shouts: “The French fries from McDonald’s!” Viewers were 9 with the idea, commenting: “Wish I had a McDonald’s Netherlands near me.” Using sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity, the billboards can 10 when someone is nearby and release their smell accordingly.

The man replied, “No, it just allowed me to 9 that it’s better to build your own house and invite someone in for shelter than to hand them your bricks while you’re 10 yours.” Steve understood his 11 and thanked him for his sharing.

One key 7 was writing “morning pages” — no stopping and no editing for at least three full pages. It felt writing nonsense at first. But as I 8 , it helped me realize I'd use excuses to 9 a dance class or job opportunity. I found I tend to avoid any 10 . Another practice was “artist dates” — solo activities to inspire fun. Cameron emphasized that 11 our limiting beliefs was only half the battle; we must also 12 seek joy. So, I invited 13 pleasures: baking cookies, collecting fallen flowers, etc. I even rented a car to a coastal town. At sunset, I'd roll down my car window, sing loudly and 14 the pink sky.

And for over 20 years, the club has created 7 for students to participate in storytelling. Many students have gone on to become 8 poets, scholars, or even National Youth Poet Winners. “‘ 9 the microphone’ was something we originally said in the club when people were talking in the audience, and it became a 10 for the club,” says Dan Sullivan, who went from planning to 11 school on his 17th birthday to starring in and helping set up the club in 1999. For Kahn, the 12 was all about helping students like Sullivan at the time who just didn’t 13 school.
