Damned if you do...
As much as I would like to blog more frequently, I have been so busy with other things that it seems weeks go by without my returning to write my thoughts. Well today is a vent of sorts as I am near tears. As I have posted before, I do a lot of volunteer work for various organizations and I truly love giving of my time and talents to these worthy programs, which at times take a significant commitment.

When it is an organization that is dear to my heart (and I don't volunteer for any that are not), then I put my heart and soul into supporting that organization, striving to improve it in any way that I can. One such organization that I volunteer for has been struggling from lack of volunteers which has put a lot of stress on those who are doing all the work. In my wanting to reduce the stress and workload, I have been mulling over options which usually works, but this time I found myself still in a quandary. So instead of not finding answers myself, I decided to brainstorm with another and some great answers came to me from that conversation. Excited, I wanted to share those ideas and was met with the coldest shoulder I have felt in a very long time, so much so that it brought me to tears.

Where did I go wrong? What is my next step? This organization is so important to me and I feel lost not knowing where I stand or what to do - a feeling I am not used to. Wow, just writing this has been cathartic, I will do as I have always done, sleep on it and awake with a fresh new perspective. Goodnight everyone and sweet dreams!
