I'm doing 41 things
My boyfriend and I decided to take a totally random trip to Eureka Springs, AR and this day became one of the best in my entire life. The people there are fantastic and the energy is very chill. After wandering downtown Eureka, Kenny & I decided to rest a while and listen to the live bands. As Kenny ran to a nearby bar to grab a drink I noticed that a woman, as close as a gypsy as I have ever seen, was giving palm readings on a park bench. I felt that this was my oppurtunity and even though it cost me 10 bucks, it was so fun to hear some of the crazy things she had to say. I will say this, a lot of the things she had to tell me were pretty general, sure, but a lot of it was on target. She told me that I was facing an awakening, and I think, on this day, it began.

I’ve only done it for a day…but it hard not to fall in love with all the animals at the shelter. They just break your heart and I have to use every fiber in me not to take them all home. Although I intend to continue my volunteer work…even one day has taught me a lot. I strongly encourage all those wanting to work at a shelter to do so, it will be worth it.
