It Starts With Us

If you are a member of 20SB, you probably got the email about their partnership with It Starts With Us. Because, ya know, I totally needed yet another website to join, I decided to join their A Team. Basically, the goal is to participate in small weekly missions to help people out, make a positive impact in people's lives and maybe make a difference. They email you a mission each week (that should take less than 15 minutes to complete). You do the mission and then you can discuss the impact in their forums and/or blog about it.

I will be starting a weekly post about whatever the week's mission is and how I accomplished it. I find myself being selfish more often than selfless and I believe this is at least a little something I can do to think about someone other than me. Join in if you'd like!

It's not a way to brag about doing something good. It's a way to bring attention and get people involved in doing something nice for others. Read more about It Starts With Us at the links above.

  1. That sounds so fantastic! I'm looking forward to reading more and getting inspired! Tonight I'm off to a department store to use up the $100 gift card I just received, I'm buying toys to donate to the Salvation Army Toy Drive. Is that bragging?

  2. MNP- haha no I think that's awesome! I need some new long sleeve shirts, so I'd probably use it on myself.
