I believe everyone has a purpose in life. Mine, I feel as though, is to help others — bring awareness, share stories, bring happiness, show compassion, to love and be loved. I feel as though I’m falling short. If I could, I’d up and leave and travel across the entire world lending a hand/heart/ears to those who need it. But I have responsibilities here at home that prevents me from doing so. For awhile I was irritated, feeling as though I’m stuck. But I realized I don’t have to travel miles away to assist others — I can do so much just sitting at home. I’ve donated to organizations but I want do so much more. My dream is to join an organization or two that goes to countries in need of help — to feed, to build homes and schools, to teach, or just to make friends & share stories. THAT’S what I feel is my purpose in life and I can’t wait to be able to do so. In the meantime, I’ll find other ways to lend a hand in improving our world.

I’ve come across some really amazing websites (I’m adding them to my sidebar) and if you have any others, please share! The ways you can help are infinite. I was talking to Chris about sponsoring a child. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years and I’m looking forward to it! World Vision is a great organization I came across & for just $30/month you can help feed & care for a child. You even get their photo and ways to communicate. I’m ecstatic! I’m going to send them tons of photos & drawings. :)

I really want to do more. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
