Ok, I know it's been almost two months since I've posted. I've been kind of down and out, so to speak. Losing my job hasn't helped anything and having to be super duper frugal about everything, really sucks. But I'll get through it. So I wanted to talk a little bit about volunteer work. Because the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is in Moorhead, in fact it's only a few blocks away from my house. It's amazing the house that is being built. Traffic sucks, but it's really brought Moorhead a ton of business. So they have about 4,000 volunteers for this home. Volunteer work is so amazing and I think it's so wonderful all the people willing to help this family out. But my question is, why can't we get this many volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, or the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center, or several other charities in need. Only a nationally recognized show gets so many volunteers? Just because it's on TV? Volunteer work or charity isn't suppose to be about recognition, it's suppose to be about helping your fellow human being, because it's the right thing to do, not because you may get seen on TV or meet a TV personality.
Ok, that's just my two cents and mostly because I've been hearing about it all week and it's only a few blocks away and I get to deal with all the traffic and such. The big reveal is today which it's reported that about 10,000 will be there for the big reveal. So that will make traffic in this area even more fun. So really people, if you want to help out and volunteer, do it for the right reasons, not recognition.
Peace out peeps, much love on this nice warm autumn day!
