This project has gone too sideways this month to salvage much, but I plug along as best as I can. A good day is about 50% raw, but that has been uncommon this past week. I've lost my momentum and am submitting to the undertow, as work and family demands fill literally every hour and there is no energy left to spend an hour chopping and chewing raw greens.
So which agency should get my "penance fee" this month? I have had just enough energy left most nights to drag myself to the local Human Rights Film Fest going on this week, and have been bombarded with videos ranging from fighting over dwindling resources to suffering beyond my comprehension. My tiny drop in the bucket will probably only go to heat some nonprofit-CEO's office for an hour or something -- which CEO will give me the most bang for my buck? Is there a nonprofit that helps people who observe themselves eating junk food but cannot stop the tide of stress that creates the cravings which are beyond control?
Well, I'll pick one, because as far as I'm concerned, this month is beyond hope. Next month my workload will diminish, creating a different form of stress, but at least will allow me the time to chop-and-chew. The rest of this month is devoted to damage control and simply getting through my days of work-work-work, regardless of what I put in my mouth.
