This month has been all about crushes that give back and make many grateful for their existence, myself included. That’s because I’ve volunteered with one, got help from another, and today and shining a light on one that helps out a place that means so much to me, my hometown, and that’s Carol’s Kitchen. It’s...

Kindness at Carol’s Kitchen
There wasn’t much for my family to do when I’d visit home. Walmart and Dollar Tree can only hold one’s attention for so long. So from time to time, we’d take advantage of the free meal at the local community center. It wasn’t so much about the food, but more about spending time together with... Continue Reading →

November is a time to give thanks and to give back, so we’re focusing on a few organizations that have given back to their communities and beyond in a number of ways.

Promposing with Cinderella Project
The worst and best trait that I have, I think, is that I love doing things that will never pay my rent or allow me to save for the future because well…I love volunteering and is there really a future worth saving for in this world? We’ll save the latter for another day and focus... Continue Reading →
