It Feels Good to Do Good Things

I always respond with, "Of course you can. It's just a matter of setting priorities in your life. And if you still find it a challenge, write the check. It is always needed at the charities."

It doesn't matter if it's time or money. We are all in this world together, and I'd like to say that I did the best I could, and helped as many people as I could in my short time on this world.

ON HELPING OTHERS

For me, helping others is something I always enjoy. It doesn't matter how large or how small. And for a lady that runs through life saying...Eat Dessert First... Birthday cakes are important to me.

A WIN-WIN SITUATION

I look at this opportunity as a win win for both of us. I get to help others that are less fortunate than I am. I'm supporting a good cause that I believe in.

I'd like to believe that something as simple as a cupcake or a birthday cake really does make a difference in someone's life.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

It doesn't matter if it's time or money. We are all in this world together, and I'd like to say that I did the best I could, and helped as many people as I could in my short time on this world.
