forward motions

Approximately 1,000 good things added up at the same time today and churned out a fucking FABULOUS mood in me.

On track & money are rarely seen in the same context when it comes to my life. I am built of financial woes and have found myself buried up to my neck in debt, with no one to blame except myself, since roughly age nineteen. And I am still very, very much there, struggling for air beneath oppressive APRs and late fees, etc. But with today came surely a temporary boost, not in the form of any unexpected cashflow, just timing and patience and hoping and limb crossing. Little things are paying off, which makes me think I’ve done something right. To keep this in forward motion, I’ve re-subscribed to my monthly donation sites – a couple bucks toward two things I’m very, very passionate about. I entertain the notion that my little bit is a big contribution because that makes my stomach warm and my skin glow.

If you don’t, I encourage you to send off five or ten bucks to a worthy organization… really, it takes all of two or three minutes and the good karma is like a multi-vitamin for the soul.

Suggestions: Human Rights Campaign (five dollar monthly minimum), Bitch Magazine (support kickass non-profit publication and get a subscription with your monthly contribution!), ASPCA (consistent income helps contribute to life saving programs – plus PUPPIEEES!), or Women’s Funding Network (one of the largest collaborative philanthropic networks in the world.. supporting women’s foundations that span public charities, private foundations and funds within community foundations).

I’m off to bask in myself.
