I now make a bi-monthly donation to an environmental group. I try to pick a different one every time. Found this great site: CharityNavigator.org, which helps me choose well run charities (ones that spend more money on their cause and less on administration and fundraising). Very helpful. My last donation went to the 5-star recommended “American Bird Conservancy”. Definitely made me feel good.
I now go to yoga 4-5 times a week. Added to theater, swing dance, bike, work and my social life, this is TIRING! Is it wrong to wish I could get some sort of grade for my committment? I know yoga is supposed to be it’s own reward….sigh….I’m tired…. I still can’t get up in a handstand all by myself. However, if someone pushes on my ankle, I can “push up” into one, and then lean my feet lightly against a wall for balance. Sometimes the enormity of this goal weighs on me. Also, I’m having wierd body image issues. Wish I was thinner. This goal was not supposed to get mixed up with my vanity, but it has.
