Forget Perfect!

"Somebody should do this... Somebody should do that... Well, guess what?  You're SOMEBODY!"

Our last speaker was Kay Parker, the 2007 Shoals Woman of the Year.  She spoke to my class about the Healing Place.  At The Healing Place, you have the opportunity to help broken families, talk with people, and play with children.  Their goal is to heal people's grief and pain by acknowledging it.

The 4 Ways to Feel Better according to the Healing Place:

1) Be honest- talk about it with someone who will not judge you

2) Be expressive- shout, cry, draw...

3) Be physical- exercise, hit/ throw something

4) Be aware- positive self-talk

FORGET PERFECT.  It doesn't exist!!

After hearing about this organization, I am conflicted on my Statement of Purpose from my last post.  I said I wanted to volunteer with education, but there are so many awesome places to volunteer and I can't choose!  The Healing Place sounds like a great organization to work with, and it would definitely take me out of my comfort zone, but I'm not sure I'd be a good fit for the organization.  But I do know that wherever I volunteer, I will have unlimited opportunities to help the Shoals community!
