The last class we had with our non-profit panel was mind opening for me.  I have always been interested in non-profit, and have been involved with some throughout the past years.  Like everyone I have had my own struggles in life not to "get over", but to deal with so I could continue living.  It is still a struggle sometimes, but I have strength and hope that one day the passion I have might either create my own non-profit...or become a leader in one.  I have run races, done walks, and ran support groups for one cause since my senior year of high school.  This past year, I have not done all that I wish with the cause, but listening to those women have inspired me to get back up and at it with the cause.  When I heard the passion in these women it touched me, and brought me back to the play I wrote to help spread awareness with the cause.  I ended up raising hundreds of dollars in my small town back in West Virginia.  I hope to keep this attitude going through the year, and start raising money for the upcoming race in April down in Washington D.C.

I find it sort of ironic that I missed last class because of work.  I was really looking forward to last week's class on balance, and my...well never mind..I will not rant. I missed it and it's over but there is tonight's class to look forward to.

I think we are allowed to give an update on the woman leader we are following..so i think i will choose that to write about since i missed class.

I chose Joyce Nelson who was the CEO of The National MS Society.  She retired about four days ago.  I have been trying to find out what she will be doing next, however i have had no such luck.  I will just stick with my made up story that she is retiring to spend the rest of her time with family and friends because who wouldn't want to do that?  Anyways under her ruling..no wait that sounds too much like a dictator...under her guidance the society accomplished many successes; which i will briefly hit in tonight's presentations we must give about our leaders.
