Work Hard and Be Nice to People.

Today I donated dog and cat toys to a local animal shelter. I have been itching to get out and do something for a larger cause, rather than my own self interest. Of course, I reap benefits from donating. I get to go check out the dogs for adoption, swoon over the puppies, and feel good about doing it. But I feel as though it is time for me to be concerned with more than just myself and my dog.

What ways do you help out your community? What else can I do? I have been asking everyone I know to collect items to donate to the animal shelter. I'm hoping this will pan out and I can have a nice car load to donate in the next few weeks.

So if you have anything you would like to donate or want more information about your local animal shelters, email or tweet me! thatgirlblogs@gmail.com OR @kerryedaway 

Or if you know of something else I should get involved in, let me know!
