Volunteer, anyone!

 

Making a Difference from where you stand.

How many of us would like to volunteer but don't have the time or energy? 

 
Well, we've found a great site that allows you to volunteer when you want.  Isn't that great!  Best of all you can get involved and do the things that are relevant to you.  Volunteering is a "labor of love", the only reward you'll ever see is the happiness and hope you've instilled in another human being.  For some, that's more than enough. Think of it like a garden. It's wonderful when you plant your garden from seedlings and as time goes by you watch it and see it flowering into something useful; whether its a flower and we admire it for its beauty or a vegetable that we can eat and our bodies benefit from it. Watching it grow and become useful and relevant to you or someone else. 
That's the reward for your labor. Just knowing that you've touched another life and made a difference in it is worth the effort. The best part about it is that those seedlings grow up and go on to help others.  Truly, isn't that what it's about?
 
If you're like me, then volunteering has always been a thought in the back or your mind.  Something you really want to do, but just never had the time.  Volunteering is something that any of us can do provided we have the time, right? 
 
You can find something you're interested in doing and do it when you like.  They've got several different opportunities from Homelessness to Literacy pertaining to adults or children and teens. 
 
 
 ........give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime
 
 
That should be our premise in volunteering and helping others in general.
 
 
Please be encouraged to check back often and share your thoughts on the matter.
Thank you for visiting.

My Best Friend

I do have one and we've been through some pretty tough times together.  We've laughed and cried together, traveled together hung out together. But, no matter how much time has passed between us and it doesn't matter how wise in age we get, I know in my heart that she is there for me as she knows I am for her.

Friends come and go.  You can even outgrow them sometimes, but best friends stay with you for life. And the funny thing is that you want them there. There are some things you just don't want to experience unless your best friend is there with you.





We've all done things we don't want anyone else to know about.  


  • You ever kicked the neighbors whiny dog?
  • Ever flirt with one of your friend's boyfriends?
  • Ever shared some stuff with a co-worker in confidence and by the time you came back from lunch the story had made its way around the office?  It was so twisted that you barely recognized it as your own story!

This is your spot

This is your place to share Anonymously. 
People don't have to know who you are.  Some people get bold when they have no fear of being revealed.  Well, here is your chance to share  and let rip! We really don't care who you are. Just share anything at all that you like. This is your confession so, let it out!  Shout it out!  If you have something bothering you then share.  This is more or less just getting it off your chest so you can breathe easy now that you've released the stuff that was weighing you down.  It really does help to just exhale and release.    Go ahead and give it a try.
