Give Back A Portion

"In a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her word, a portion of its lost heart." - Louise Bogan, poet

Giving back to the world - we can all do this without ever needing to feel ashamed. Although this statement was first uttered decades ago, it fits current-day conditions as well. There have been so many challenges in recent years that it is easy to become saddened by the situations we are facing as individuals and as citizens of our country. This quote reminds me that I can move past the anguish and despair and concentrate on giving to others.

I have been attempting to share part of my experience through my words in order to help others along the way. I've been using this blog to share my life's lessons in case it can help another person avoid some of the mistakes I have made. I don't know how much my words help others, but just writing my entries has helped me find out who I am and what I am all about. I want to share hope and positivity with people. I want to remain focused on what can be done to improve our world rather than focusing on what is wrong with it. This quote reinforces the message that I am on the right track for me.

We all have good to give back to this world. We do not have to remain in despair. I pray that more and more people will work together to give back to the world so that it will be better than ever before. I believe we can do it. Let's give it our all!
