Calendar Girl Blog: Unpaid Work

This project, the Breast of Canada, blogs and all the trappings fall under this category.

Unpaid Work.

It didn't start out this way. Well actually, it did. I didn't intend it to start out this way. I intended to be the social entrepreneur I claim to be and make a living and a difference at the same time.

But five year's in, my time, my injection of energy is and continues to be complimentary. Breast of Canada is my love child.

My paid work situation is somewhat interesting too. I say this because currently, I don't have any. Paid work that is. My contract as a website writer came to a blunt end back in May.

Work that I create always grabs me with a firm hand. This whether there is money attached to the doing or not.

I know this is odd. Yet I proudly follow in my father's work ethic footsteps. He believed that if you create something you love, the money will follow.

Given my green streak and save the world ethic, what I think up reflects these values. Strangely, 'do gooding' is not covered by minimum wage standards. In fact 'do gooding' is the highest unpaid job on the list.

But dad said. And so I trust. The money will follow.

Calendar Girl is not surprised by the world of work. She's merely puzzled.
