Long ago I decided once (if!) I was ever to make money off the ads I display on my blog that I would donate a portion of the profits to charity.

As I've said before on my blog: "What I contribute can’t really compete to what other businesses, and enterprises, and wealthier individuals could. Nonetheless, I fully believe that contributing something, doing something, is better than nothing. Too long have people been scared or influenced by naysayers that we can’t make a difference."

So in 2008 I've made the plunge and pledged to donate my proceeds to an Australian charity called Berry Street Victoria. Clocking in at 130 years young, Berry Street is now the largest independent child welfare organisation in Victoria. Their message is simple: WE NEVER GIVE UP. Social Workers work with families to help nurture and care for their children and in times of crisis they provide Foster Care and Support.

It's easy to be a pessimist in the 21st century.

I'm determined to look on the hopeful, optimistic, assertive side of life.

Because on that side, things get done. People make a difference.

Just like you can.
