Successful volunteering such a reward
Have you ever been a mentor? It is the most rewarding and truly right way to volunteer. I have had the honor to mentor a young lady since she was 15 years old when we met at a Latina Empowering conference where I was a volunteer speaker addressing positive life growth and choices 7 years ago. This week she graduated from a prestigious University, and along her journey she became my mentor and what I have learned is priceless. Why share this, because I have learned valuable lessons.
As I continue to volunteer on days when the media reports are negative and individuals are not in the positive, I realize yes one person can make the difference and we all need to learn “pay it forward” without ever expecting a pay back.
Have a day filled with rainbow light!
