Giving back!

It’s time to give back.  I’ve been thinking about it for years and 2010 is going to be a year of actions.  So, to begin acting on my goals, I registered with Kiva today.  Here’s a screen shot of the loans that Picotte Photography has out helping 4 entrepreneurs build their business.  I feel so honored to be giving back and highly encourage you to investigate what Kiva is all about.kiva
