Angelica,

I'm so glad to hear that your MIL is being well cared for by her community. She must have a lot of good friends there.

Americans can certainly be great givers of time and money but it's not consistent or wide spread. The charities in this country have excellent support and are very well organized. The volunteerism I see is so lacking is local community support. National charities are great, but the local organizations have a much harder time attracting resources. I guess that is where my cynicism is coming from.

Self-love is certainly important. Without that, we can never truly care for others because we are trapped. I struggle daily with that as I have no confidence. Working on it.

I'm very excited to begin working on my goals.
