Last year I almost did it. I almost ran for the Board of Directors of Vancity. I took the time to find out what was involved and encouraged. But I relented. Bad timing played a part but I wasn't ready for the personal change. Now - I say "Bring It!"
Make Therapeutic clowning and clown-doctoring in particular a more integral and appreciated part fo our healthcare system. We can't just fund the treatment of the body we have to treat and care for the spirit and soul as well.
I seem to be addicted to negativity. Whenever I seem to be making progress as getting rid of my negativity, I then seem to sabotage the effort and slide back to where I was. Consequently, I've hurt friends and destroyed friendships I wanted to keep. I so want to break out of this but I'm at a loss as to what to do and how to start. I don't want to end my life as a lonely cranky old crone who no one wants to be around or be friends with! I'm desperate to change this. I need more specific advice than just being told to "stop being so negative." People have said that to me and I always want to cry, "Don't you think I would if I could? But I don't know how!" I so want someone to say they understand where I'm coming from, but it seems all I get is criticism and people yelling at me and hating me. Then I end up hating myself. I will be so appreciative and grateful of any ideas anyone can give me. Am I the only one like this? Am I doomed to be like this forever? If so, I will just check out of this life now, rather than stay around, poisoning everyone and everything. Thank you. BTW, I live in southeast Michigan, USA.
Letters are a more personal way to connect to your family, friends, and loved ones. It is a great way to let someone know you are thinking about them.
I struggle with the carbon emissions used to deliver letters, so I will be cautious not to go overboard. I keep in touch often via the internet, but I would like my friends, family and loved ones, to have the tactile experience of holding the letter in their hands.
this change is designed to re-frame our attempts at daily connection with the people we meet and spend time with. to go from 'how's it going' to 'what went well today?' we hope that people will create deeper connections with one another.
to be healthier, happier, and more positive - just trying to find the way after so many false starts - always looking to learn and improve - because i need to and want to
