Angels Among Us
I have been out of the blogosphere for a while, hit with a terrible case of writer’s block that has lasted months. What on earth can I write about that hasn’t already been blogged over the past months? As the director of the Volunteer Engagement Center at Metro United Way, I should have these enlightened pearls of wisdom to share related to volunteerism, to service, to making a difference, but nothing I come up seems new or fresh.
I am frustrated. It is time to get out of my own head and look outward for inspiration, when I finally reach this point, as I often do; I never have to look far for it. Everyday, I hear the stories of our volunteers…why they give their time, their inspiration, their commitment to a cause.
I am capturing those stories on video now, with my new Flipvideo camera. Sometimes, words cannot express the feeling of giving, the look of dedication, and the sound of caring.
I hope you enjoy meeting Mike and Michele, two of our local volunteers who helped with our recent flood cleanup efforts.
