I live in DC, a place notoriously known for wanting to do the big things (and often doing no things 🙃) but man, can I tell you about a community of people I’m a part of who are just doing SOME thing? Babysitting (after training/background checks, of course) for teen parents so they can take a parenting class. Organizing a Christmas store for local shelter residents so they can have a dignified way to be the gift givers for their families at the holidays. Heck, I regularly sit on the Beltway a couple times a year to go do a resume-building workshop with incarcerated men and women.

Is it solving world hunger? No. Are we professionals at any of these things? Also no. But it means something to each of these people (AND it means something to my kids, who are watching.)

Thank you, Sharon for both reminding us here and SHOWING us with the way you live your life and run your business the power of just doing something.

We are all so freaking proud of you, Sharon. You've built a community on diverse humans all dedicated to being the change we want to see in the world. Thank you for being a champion for "doing... something".
