Every aching, unfit muscle in my body, aside from my heart, is telling me, “NO! Don’t do it!” But my heart is with the inspiring people I serve at Yes She Can, and the people I don’t serve, yet. My heart is with my son, Peter, who volunteered to be captain of our Bike to […]

Volunteer Group for Morgan Stanley
A volunteer group from Morgan Stanley came to help out with fixing dolls and conducting mock interviews. At first, I was afraid of conducting a mock interview and talking to strangers, but I ended up conducting two mock interviews that went pretty well. I find talking to strangers quite nerve-wracking. At first, I just wanted […]

World Mental Health Day is Oct 10
