When we only think....

of ourselves, you cannot think of someone else.
Getting out of yourself takes time, it really does, yet its the greatest thing you will ever do it your life. Here are a few steps to help you get started.
Start with small things you can handle, like calling a friend and asking them how they are and really listening to them(I mean really listening, no telling your problems please).
Take a meal to a friend or someone you know, stay and talk to them. Make sure its someone who either does not get out or who maybe has been feeling down.
On trash day, bring in a neighbor you are not so happy withs trash cans.
Put a nice note on a neighbors door.
Bake cookies for a local bake sale.
Buy cookies from a local bake sale and give them to someone else.
Volunteer at a local non-profit, if just for one day.
Get more knowledgeable about what is going on around you, local, state, national, world.

Find you voice, what ever it may be!!! Speak up, speak out and stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. We are a country that is free to voice our opinion(at this time) and we need to stand up for all those who cannot.

How I got Started...

Long ago in a land far away as a child. Learning to give came slow, but it came. My Dad would hire people who were in need of work, even if they did not do the best job. When I got older I realized he was helping them out by giving them a job, even though this made my mom so mad. She never liked the work they did, said it was not up to par. Dad would just shrug her off and the person would be back the next day to work again. He taught me so many things about life that I don't know how I could ever get by without them all. He died when I was 26 before I realized how important he really was and I was so angry at him at the time.

In time over my life I learned that giving back is important. This blog is all about that. I would like to share that with you. How in little ways you to can do it. How I changed and what change me.
