Does anyone else volunteer? What are your interests/causes/cares? Any ideas or orgs for me to check out? I'm feeling a little stumped...
Back in Arizona, I went to several "orientations" and even volunteered a few times. In each case, the organization itself would disappoint or I became turned off by the actual work. So what did I do? O, my fave--I quit.
But now I want to change remember? Act differently to achieve different results. As my father would say, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
This goal is a must. Why you ask? Because For Gawd's Sake I'm Spoiled Rotten in life. I'm not sick or poor, beaten, abandoned or malformed. I should be able to stop the darcydarcydarcy noise for a bit and spare a few hours a week! There's people out there who need people.
But here's my thing...I've been looking and I can't really decide on anything. I want three things outta all this: 1) that it's something I care about 2) directly impactful and 3) dare I say, fun.
And there it is. I feel bad about myself that I can't find anything yet. When I peruse the volunteer "opportunities," shouldn't I be bursting with give-edness? Am I as cold as ice?

What a clever blog concept. Good job. Good luck keeping it going, and good luck accomplishing what you want to accomplish. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I guess it's just a matter of finding something that you're interested in. I love animals and if I had time I would volunteer at the SPCA or through a dog rescue agency, BUT not everyone likes dogs. Good luck finding something!
Check out www.voluteermatch.org it brought up 473 opportunities for San Diego alone. There has to be something there that interests you Darcy!
luv, V
