We’ve had a lot of blessing in our lives, and I really wanted to find ways to give back and volunteer more. I started with my photography, I closed it down, closed the taxes down, and shut my business. I reopened one where I do it all for free now for low income, military appreciation, things like that. Then I took another couple of steps and started to volunteer with supporting our troops and also feeding the homeless. It makes me so happy to be able to give back & I find myself a lot more content & excited about my life. My goal is to continue in 2011 to find ways to be a blessing to others when I can!

(the homeless, I didn’t find an organization per-say, we do it when we are downtown and see any & also while we were on vacation. It’s a when we see them, we do it thing) I want to set a good example for my girls, who also volunteer (by their choice).

How I did it
How I did it: This was a goal I started a few months before I joined 43things.com. It sounds mean, but I needed to navigate away from the people who want to be mean, spread hate, use you, or just live to bring you down. I slowly just walked away from those. I still do it now if I have to. Read how I did it…
