I had a bad yoga teacher for the one and only time I went, so I'm a little yoga-shy, but I have used meditation before and am going to take your suggestion to heart. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Lisa - it's a religious tat. I used to be a bit of a Fundie, I'm sorry to say, about 16 or 17 years ago. I got the tat with a boyfriend, and I always thought I was so smart to not get his name or anything associated with him, and of course I figured that my faith was something that would never change. I'm glad to say it's changed dramatically, and I'm hoping the tat will go away soon. I have to admit that the tat is easily half gone, (meaning, less than half as pronounced as it was) so I should be encouraged. I'm just ready for it to be gone.LSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027230973230749475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-64694928955591594572007-05-06T17:22:00.000-07:002007-05-06T17:22:00.000-07:00Why do you dislike your tatoo so much?

Sure, it's still a struggle and a big adjustment, but it seems like you know the situation is temporary and that you'll find your balance eventually. I would suggest yoga or meditation or something to get you through, but you're a smart cookie, you know you'll find your way.

I wasn't trying to come down on the non-profits so hard. I think I've been in business too long to do non-profit stuff, but I do think it's a "higher calling" in a way. For example, with the local RVA work I'm wanting to do, I happened to inquire with them a week after their annual training, so - even though I have 7 years of RVA experience - they said I would have to wait another 12 months to go through the training and volunteer there. I totally get that I need training, but it just doesn't make sense to me if you're really trying to get help for your org. But I do think it's just a question of what the best fit is, and I don't think I'm a great fit with full-time non-profit work. Eek, does that all make sense?LSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027230973230749475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-25626799788482405862007-05-06T08:10:00.000-07:002007-05-06T08:10:00.000-07:00i kinda forgot yesterday was cinco de mayo. in cal...i kinda forgot yesterday was cinco de mayo. in california it's a super big deal but i didn't see much celebrating here in seattle. i did, however, eat a taco. that's not saying much since i eat tacos a couple times a week.<BR/><BR/>as a veteran non-profit worker, i feel your pain and frustration. i try to make the volunteer process clear and if some have to wait to be placed, at least they know the time frame. i often think i should just say "fuck it" and go make some money instead of trying to be a do gooder. i can always volunteer, right? :)<BR/><BR/>your travel plans sounds fun!Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.com
