How This Started

Like many others, I was feeling helpless in the wake of natural and human disasters. So many things to make the world a harder, colder, meaner place. And yet, from these tragedies, stories of love, warmth, and heroic sacrifice emerged. At some point, it occurred to me that I could do something. Maybe I couldn't rescue someone from a flood or hurricane stricken zone, or prevent a violently unstable person from killing others - but I could do something. So I challenged my family and friends on FaceBook to think of things that I could do. I was going to choose one of their suggestions to complete; however, as I saw the suggestions that they made, I realized that the need was so great, that I should not just choose one, but choose all of them. Now, I caution you, this list is eclectic, and does not at all even scratch the surface of what can or needs to be done. But it's a start. A proof of concept, if you will.

Vision Walk Update

One thing that I have learned as I have embarked on my journey to Do Good and Make a Difference is that one woman can do nothing.  The success that I have here is directly related to many, many people.  I would like to thank my family and friends who are part of my family, for their generous donations to this year's Vision Walk.  Between them, they have pledged $150 dollars towards a cure for blindness.  I posted the link at work today.  Hopefully some of my coworkers will feel inspired to join us in April.
