Why I started this blog

After many years of volunteering for various organizations, I decided it was time to create this treasury of stories and events to read and cherish.

From weeding the garden at a local convent to going door-to-door to collect dimes and quarters to help with research for a cure to Cystic Fibrosis, using the example I saw from my mother, I started volunteering as a young kid. Looking back, obviously safety wasn't a consideration as I knocked on doors inside apartment buildings to gather those coins. The focus for this blog will be now and the future.

I have volunteered with the People's Resource Center in Wheaton, as an ESL instructor as as a computer literacy instructor. I lost my desire for this when Danny died.
