Spreading the Word

I have been talking about this blog lately and people have really responded with enthusiasm about the project. I told a couple of my customers and employees and they said anyone can make a difference. My husband told people at his work and they said that people would not go for it because they wouldn't get anything out of it. I think helping others is what you get out of it. Knowing that your dollor went to a sleeping bag instead a bottle of booze. You also gave a dolloar to help someone in need of a place to stay for the night, clothes for their kids back, or food in their stomachs.

A Fresh Idea

I finally got to the point today where I felt that my life had no purpose. I have a definite urge to help others, but never really had a plan as to how to accomplish this. I have bills to pay and work seems to exists only to get us from point "A" to point "B" and does not leave me with any type of warm feeling. I am working for a big company whose only focus is on making money. I wish there was a way to better use my time. Helping those in need has always been a passion of mine, and today I finally decided to do something about it. My husband, Jesse, suggested a unique charity experiment as something that would help me feel more satisfaction by fulfilling my full potential. Starting with my friends and family members, I will collect a dollar from everyone and at the end of the month, I will use the money to provide help to someone who desperately needs it. Instead of trying to do the same boring thing every month, I hope to be able to mix it up and find different circumstances in which to help out.
