The importance of giving back

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Please welcome Paula Constantino, my guest blogger this week, to talk about a special (and worthy) project she’s launching that she could use your help with!

**********************
Remember how good you felt when you went out of your way to help someone without even thinking about getting anything in return? Felt really good didn’t it?

In our running here, there and everywhere - often with our cell phones in hand - we sometimes lose sight of how truly wonderful it feels when we reach out and help others, giving back to our community or even more globally. How we give back is a purely individual choice, but we all should give serious consideration to giving back in some way or another.

Personally, my way of giving back is encouraging women to help other women – first through my online resource at www.WomensSupportTeam.com and most recently with our nonprofit at www.1000WomenCanChangeTheWorld.org.

This may seem like a giant leap… but a new paradigm is emerging in the world, embracing the revolution of the heart with the capability to change the world from the roots up. We now know how to position women globally to make a positive impact on the world for generations to come.

By harnessing 21st century technology, we can inspire, enlighten and empower women worldwide by providing them with practical, useful life and business skills – information that is easy to access, easy to use and easy to pass on to others. With your help – giving back in whatever way you find comfortable – we can enable women to think differently, improve their quality of life, and position women worldwide to co-exist peacefully.

Although we currently have more than 150 women mentors in place to provide the information modules, we can always use more expertise, but we could really use some help to fund the implementation of this worldwide movement, that is starting locally in the Washington, DC area.

You may be wondering how I came up with this movement. As the product of an extremely dysfunctional family that included being victim of sexual abuse, I have always been a survivor. Despite moving up and down the East coast and attending more than twenty-five different schools, I have been determined to not only turn my own life around, but to reach out and help other women be all that they can be.

Having been fully immersed the “the ole’ boy” world during my career as a lawyer, I believe that when we work together to help others succeed – sharing our expertise and wisdom – we all truly do achieve more. And it feels good, too!

Giving back is rewarding on so many levels. As you’re thinking about giving back, you might want to check out our nonprofit and maybe “Chip-In” toward our launch www.1000WomenCanChangeTheWorld.org.
