"continuing the Resolve tour..."
Today I have Cassiel Knight another author who is also a friend We first met when she was president of an RWA chapter I was visiting. She has a welcoming presence and can keep a room full of women under control.
I love volunteering
– too much. If I had to have a resolution around volunteering, it would be
about saying no. But I’m good with it because I love to be involved.
But, this is a post
about volunteerism as a New Year’s resolution. In our full lives, it’s hard to
think about adding anything extra. Certainly, volunteering is a balancing act
between your writing, your family, your day job and taking care of yourself.
So, how do you fit
in volunteering? Here’s a quote from a favorite movie of mine, Evan Almighty. When Evan asks God how
he’s supposed to change the world, God answers with “one random act of kindness
at a time.”
That’s it. All you
have to do is one random act (no matter how small) of volunteerism at a time.
Whatever you do will be important and you’ll still benefit. Volunteering
doesn’t mean you have to go grand scale but just get involved in whatever
fashion suits you best. Those of us who run volunteer events appreciate
whatever we can get—truly.
You’ll get far more from
volunteering than you have to give—I guarantee it.
Have a fantastic 2013!
Cassiel Knight
resides in the beautiful, and evergreen, state of Oregon with her husband of
over 20 years and two female Shih Tzus, which are her children in every sense
of the word. When she isn't editing, writing or reading (and that is most of
the time), she can be found playing with her Shih Tzus, gardening (when the
weather permits and sometimes when it doesn't) and cooking fancy meals as long
as someone else does the dishes. She writes paranormal romances with
kick-assitude that blend archeology and mythology—just a few of her favorite things—for Samhain Publishing, Lyrical Press and
Champagne Book Group.
