Got it? Don’t need it? You could Givit!

What a funny old day. My chronic reflux makes it feel like my stomach acid is eating it’s way out of my body, probably particularly bad today because I knew I had to confront a former friend about her catty, corporate crap in front of a room full of men who’ll no doubt chalk the entire thing up to our cycles being in sync. Whatevs.

So I jump in my car and start punching around the dial when I hear the magical high-pitched chuckle and broken English of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The ABC are finally playing the conversation HH had with Richard Fidler on Brisbane’s River Stage about 4 weeks ago. I volunteered at the event. Ironically my being there and not somewhere else was the catalyst for the morning’s confrontation. Spooky.

Then I get home and check my email. There’s one from Juliette from Givit.org.au. Brilliant girl who runs a brilliant website through which she liaises with hundreds of charities to find out what their clients actually need. She posts a list online and those of us who are looking for ways to give, can GIVE! She’s asking me to be an ambassador for the website. Of course I will be you nut!

So glad I was with those 9 000 people at the River Stage that day. So inspired by people who use their abilities to serve others like Juliette. So grateful I have mylanta in the fridge. Long Live His Holiness the Dalai Lama!
