Hmmm, good question! Two things: First, to really love your role, focus only on the causes that you care deeply about – that’s the key. When you truly find your passion, your job doesn’t feel like a job. Second, volunteering is a great way to get noticed by your chosen non-profits if you are new to the sector. Offer to write a blog or two, cover an event or curate social media content. This way, you gain experience and widen your network – and you just might get hired if the timing is right!Why do you like bats so much?Ha, ha, you guys. Why do y’all think that is so weird?! They are sooo cute, and look a little like a black greyhound puppy. So maybe the better question is why do I love black greyhounds so obsessively that I can even find cuteness in baby bats! But seriously, I support a bat rescue organization in Australia. But it all started with the cuteness!

The other night, my 13-year-old son and I were playing Just Dance on the XBOX. It plays songs while showing dance moves that need to be copied to get a high score. The closer you can follow the choreography, the higher your score. Seriously brought my A Game and best moves to the dance battle, yet my boy was CRUSHING me. So then I pulled out all the stops and totally rocked it to Beyonce’s All The Single Ladies. Then sat back smugly. Then….he beat me on that one by over 2000 points. The game has got to be rigged!Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds?Another toughie! My answer is Colin Firth.
