The first time I met my guest, she was so warm, friendly, and helpful that I became a fan before she had a published book. She always has a smile and kind words. And her posts shows that side of her.

I'm one
of those kids who believes what goes around, comes around; put up or shut up; good
will overcome sloth. And yes, I was raised by a Marine. Idle hands were not
welcome.
Like Jessa,
I have found that volunteering, whether it's for the writing community, or for
a cause I believe in, like literacy, it has always brought great rewards. No
one would believe this now, but not that many years ago I was a shy mouse who
had to force herself out of the corner when participating in groups. Determined
to get over that shyness I volunteered to be president of Rose City Romance
Writers. All right I was voted in, but the truth is, the Universe was kind and
I got way more than overcoming a little shyness.
So, I
encourage you - volunteer. When you do, pick something you have a passion
about. More often than not you'll get more out of the experience than you put
into it. And surprise, you'll make interesting friends along the way. Also
remember the other side of the coin. Don't take on more than you can handle. Remember,
work less, play more...that's the resolution I'm sharing this year.
Do you
have a chance to volunteer? What do you think?
