Well OK I know this is true for myself anyway. Over my lifetime I have always volunteered in some way...mostly through my local church. I have helped with community events,in the nursery, joined a team to help those who are less fortunate, put my hand up to just about try anything.
Up until just recently I have always found something or someone who is desperate for extra hands...We have had a shift in that part of our life and even in the short few weeks of this change I am missing exercising my "volunteering muscle".
That is until I discovered a new little shop open not far from home.....
The "Wishing you Well Store".
Today I headed down and have offered my services for a bit of time each week. This is two fold for me....getting that "volunteering muscle" working and giving back to a charity that we so generously benefited from back in 2002.*
Make a Wish granted our Taylor a wish.....her fairy garden.....After all this time I think the timing is perfect for me to reconnect with some of those lovely people and also give a little back to volunteer in this new venture of theirs.
So it is win for them...and win for me...although my love for op shopping could land me in trouble as I headed home with a few treasures today.
Do you exercise your "Volunteer muscle" anywhere
*{I really must show you the wish we were granted....it was so fantastic for our Taylor}
So awesome. Keep an eye out for a bargain for me 😜
ReplyDeleteoh that's terrific! What a great idea. Good luck in your new volunteer work. & yes, I would love to see Taylor's wish that was granted. We don't have make a wish op shops here.
ReplyDeleteYes! If you don't exercise that volunteer muscle it will nag at you until you do lol I am so happy that you found the perfect place to do that. Sometimes op shop treasures are too fun to pass up xx
