Volunteering

Once I started the challenge I thought it would be difficult to do acts of kindness.  I find them easy to do now.  Once a week I volunteer at my daughter’s school in kindergarden.  I spend a couple of hours helping in the classroom.  I help with art projects, sorting school work, checking in and […]
