Today, Girl at Play made it’s first business donation.
I believe that with all that I’ve received – support, friendships and the ability to make a living at what I love – that I have to give back. Today I did just that by giving ducks, trees and small monetary donation to a charity that I feel was in-line with the goals of Girl at Play – to help others help themselves and be the most kick ass they can be.
I’ve been fortunate in that when I wanted to make my dream come true, I could. I had access to tools, people and funds that I needed. Some people don’t. And although I wasn’t giving out writing tablets or art supplies, I was giving a choice to someone by giving them the ability to look after themselves and become whatever is their passion.
It’s important, I believe, that when you have the chance to do something, you should. Whether it be for yourself or someone else.
The Chronicles of Girl at Play began in April 2001 as a way for me to chronicle my leaving a successful corporate position to become a self-employed writer.
