I have in the past voluntered at shelters, taught acting at a boys and girls club, and talked to incoming freshmen at a college about being raped. All of this I did for my own personal reasons and I have gotten out of it more than I actually put in. A few years back I was grocery shopping and was approached by a girl who had heard my "story" and just wanted to thank me for giving her the courage to speak up and do something about her own personal experience. This is the greatest reward one can get. I always said even if I can just touch one life it is worth every bit!

I would also love to do the Habitat for Humanity bit. I used to contribute monitarily to the charity, but really would love to be able to actually go out in the field and build something. I just mentioned to someone not long ago, that if I ever remarry that my ideal honeymoon would actually be to go to a habitat site somewhere down south and volunteer. I think it would be a great way to start off!
