Compulsive Idea?
During my lunch hour today, I had (long handedly) written out part of an entry I wanted to post for this evening. I actually started to type it out, but I became disinterested. My thoughts were running past 100 mph like they normally do. I thought pass my semi-weekend blues and my concern for my little cousin. I zoomed past the thoughts I had concerning about my mother turning to ME for financial help this time around. My thoughts even wizzed past my mourning state of mind surrounding my aunt and her issues.
Sitting here, listening to music and with my thought knocking about an idea popped into my head.
I want to host a black and white event for a charity or a cause.
However, my plight...... what cause would I want to support? There are a few causes I have always wanted to become involved with. Women with domestic abuse issues. Breast Cancer. The youth here in DC (especially my disadvantage younger "sisters" and "brothers"). AIDS/HIV. Then there are thing things that affect me directly, such as my oldest brother dealing with lupus and my mother and the stroke/heart issue.
I need to seriously sit down that think about this. I need to find a focus. I want to challenge myself to see if I can pull this off. I already know two strong key people who could help me with this as far as the PR part of things.
I need to think and pray on this a bit more. I think this is something worth trying.
Why bother with the thought? I can't really explain it. Right now I feel like it's going beyond just silencing a nagging thought. I've always wanted to volunteer with something like the House of Ruth ( a shelter for abused women) and I always knew I wanted to try and help with the youth here in DC somehow. My last straw was watching the horrific year that students at Ballou High School were going through a couple of years ago in dealing with unnecessary violence. Then there are the kiddie car thieves that are in my hood. What the hell is a 7 to 13 year old that can barely see over the steering wheel gonna do with a car? All they wanna do is play "cops and robbers" for real with stolen cars.
I still feel ashamed for not being fully involved with the tea society I joined many moons ago. I can truly say the Judge is helping me to stay on track, by keeping me involved som kind of a way. Even if it is just to write and article about whatever program they have going.
I guess I have my work cut out for me now if I want to be committed to this.
