Aleksey, we are connected on LI! Giving is crucial. This too is worthy of a post. Giving of time, treasure and talent. Those of who are blessed are called to share. Period. When I give of my time, I usually learn from the people I am working with and get a return on that investment. If it isn't learning, it is expansion of my network. I volunteer with teens, while also parenting two teens. The lesson I want all of those teens to come away with is that it isn't "awkward" to ask for help, that most folks want to help, and that we all gain by giving. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading some more of your posts.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your thoughts, so touched by the response - both its genuine nature, deep thought behind it, and the length!
Can you expand on this comment please? I think you're suggesting that I should write another, more detailed, post on giving... but I might be misunderstanding. "Giving is crucial. This too is worthy of a post."
Also, your teen post reminds me on a post on a twitter... relationships are so undervalued in not taught about in schooling today. It's so unfortunate and I totally agree with you!
