I hope me quitting a vol gig that wasn’t working for me and perhaps not for them either, doesn’t affect my “Pay It Forward” karma credit :)

Decided to withdraw from AFF 2012 volunteer activities b/c although the staff all seemed overwhelmed with too-much-to-do, they didn’t seem to be able to get me on a schedule unless it was last minute. 7 months ago

One should never stop doing this. However, I count this as DONE because I’ve made a lifestyle change…

I vi the world differently now. I was widowed 3 years ago. Over the past year I decided I had to break out of my sporadic depression. I had to re-engage with life. To do this, I had to be open to those around me. I became conscious of others, allowing them to invade my personal time and space.

In the past few weeks I have been told I’d make a great motivational speaker and a good therapist…just listening to people and applying my personal logic to their circumstances has given them a different perspective in dealing with their issues. 7 months ago

being strong and strong willed has attracted some people to to give me good advice that is rarely given specially when it comes to mercantile affairs, those people have helped me come to where I am today.
Im still not at the point in my business where I have been dreaming to be but I have been inspired by the people that helped me to help other people that truly deserve to go forward in what they dream.
nothing in life is easy, and we can never truly appreciate what is handed to us easily. and the only thing that makes what you really want come true is hard work and true will. those are the people i would love to inspire. 9 months ago

but lately, volunteer work at multiple organizations, one weekly, others on project or as-needed basis.

I volunteered at the community garden in my area. It was nice, and there’s certainly a lot to learn! I’m going to have to get over my aversion to dirty fingernails… 12 months ago
