Feeling upset about the state of the world? Feeling powerless to help? Try taking action by donating blood and directly saving up to 3 people’s lives.
I used to have sooooo much fear of needles but when I learned how important it is for people with traumatic injuries, burn victims, cancer patients, pregnant people and people with leukemia…. I push myself to do an uncomfortable thing for the benefit of others.
do it!!!!

How wonderful to give a physical piece of your body to someone who needs it! Don't be greedy, you don't need all that blood!!

way easier than you think and very cool to potentially help save the life of a complete stranger. good karma (plus free juice and snack hack).
also feels like a good ritual to feel connected to the realities of your mortal human body. forced to me to take my vitamins and eat my greens before my appointment bc i was eager to pass my iron levels test (i did 💪🥬)

I’m the only one of my immediate family that can donate so I’ve been doing it since i could and try to do it every time im eligible again! Briefly took a break bc it started taking a toll on me during my marathon training but yesterday was my first time back. Gives you an excuse to lounge around for the day while giving back to those in need!
Props to those that do platelet donations too! I’m too fidgety and frankly terrified of platelet donations but give it a try if you can!

i was gazing at a photo of my grandma and was thinking about how stylish she was, and how much i loved how she decorated.
i was combing through all the decor i could see in the photo and saw the wall tapestry, and a wave of nostalgia hit me.
i decided to try to find a similar one to hang in her honor.
per usual ebay was the jackpot

nothing like getting some good quality time with myself and my own thoughts + my higher power.
really good ideas come to me during meditation & im making a habit of always saying yes to them.

I live alone in a tiny studio in NYC & I finally got in the habit of programming my mini coffee maker every night so that I wake up to the smell (&sounds) of freshly brewing coffee the next morning... it works in conjunction with my alarm & it brings me so much joy.
Just a little modern convenience that gives me the motivation I need to hop out of bed on time & start the day on a caffeinated foot!
