What Do You Know Wednesday-Share the Love

What Do You Know Wednesday.... share the love. That's what I know. Grateful, loving, giving. In just the past week, I have a lot to share. A lot of love to give. I've received so much. Nominated as Member of the Year for Believe, Inspire, Grow (B.I.G.), thankful that with using my Silpada business to help, I am donating $400+ to a loving and giving family in need. Love what you do and you don't feel like it's work.

So what is this Member of the Year award anyway?  I've been told that this is the criteria: Dedicate Themselves to Empowering Women, Always Give Before Getting, Willingly Offer Unlimited Support, Inspire Women to Thrive.

When I think about my life and my career to date, I think, yup, sounds like me. All my life I have been a good listener, and there for my friends and family. It's never what's in it for me. It's just do what feels right. When that happens my heart is full. Empowering women happens when you give someone a chance to grow and to self discover. That self awareness is the charge that ignites the life and strength into others. I see it with the members of BIG; when they are given the platform to explore, within my own self and with the women I interact with on a regular basis who is touched by Silpada. Given a chance to shine when there's a safe space to do it, gives opportunity to create. I think that these other characteristics all roll in together. Giving and offering support....that's part of Share the Love. As a volunteer for the New England Celiac Organization and the Pan Mass Challenge bicycle ride to raise money for Dana Farber Cancer Institute, I give my time to help support these necessary organizations because giving of myself empowers me and others around. It shows my children, now adults, that giving is part of making a person whole; people need people. That to me is What Do You Know Wednesday....share the love.
