It's been awhile but I am back to setting goals for myself once again. This years goal is to walk sixty miles in the Breast Cancer Three Day. I've been interested in participating in this event since it started as the Avon Walk, but never did. Lately, though, I've been compelled to really try to take a look at the world and what or who needs help. I've been feeling alittle restless and trying to figure out what else I could do in my life. Yes, yes, I am busy and active, working fulltime; going to graduate school; but I felt like I needed to do something else, not only to challenge myself but to make some kind of a difference to a cause.
I have to collect $2300 by the end of August/early September, and I've managed to collect $150 so far. I have never been much of a seller and am alittle intimidated about the collection of the funds. However, in talking with people, like my co-workers, and it's amazing to me how people are willing to help us out. My co-workers were all excited about figuring a way for me to raise funds. We brainstormed the other day, so it truly amazes me and makes me realize people are looking for ways to make a difference, but sometimes don'tknow how or don't want to plan it.
I'd like to think that someday, when I leave this earth, I made a difference to someone's life. It is something to strive for.
