Giving Back Contest

“The purpose of life is to discover your gift.
The work of life is to develop it.
The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”

David Viscott

Organizing is a gift I can share with our community.

I committed my life to contribute in small ways, not because they are all I think myself capable of, but because I know their value. Looking back on my life, it strikes me that many of the profoundly impactful interactions I’ve had, were rather insignificant to the people I shared them with. I now believe that the little things we do matter, and maybe they matter a lot more than most people realize. Since I have benefited tremendously from programs to support the underprivileged, it is meaningful for me to offer others my gifts. Organizing is a gift I can share with our community. So, part of my mission is to assist those who could otherwise not afford professional organizing services. I do not believe that the ability to acquire money makes one more deserving. It seems tragic that good people needing help often are the people that can’t afford to hire help. Most of the entries on the charitable giving page are from single parents, artists, or people who struggle with depression. Depression takes a massive toll on your health, your life, and the state of your home. It is a devastating illness especially when it lasts for long periods. I understand. I’ve been there too.
