A 2012 New Year’s Resolution: Help Three Women
My New Year’s resolution is to help other women.
Just about every woman on the planet needs help with something, I’d like to aim to help at least three in the month of January and keep that trend going for the rest of the year.
If you want to join me, start by sharing this post. Let’s all get in the habit of thinking of how we can better help each other. Women who ask for our help and women who don’t, women we know personally and women we don’t.
This help could take the form of tweeting about something women are doing, giving them legitimate feedback on a project, forwarding them an opportunity or making an introduction on their behalf. It could take the form of overtipping waitresses, hotel housekeepers and bathroom attendants, volunteering at or donating to a women’s organization, or signing and promoting petitions to protect women’s rights.
Let’s start saying yes to other women instead of saying no, which is something that we all seem to hear all the time. Let’s become aware of our power to help others, which is a lot greater than any of us realize. There are a number of reasons to help women, but karma is one. When you help people, others help you. I don’t know why, it’s just a thing that happens.
Happy 2012! Here’s to the best year for women yet…
