Has anyone other than me noticed that nowadays there is a fundraiser or a charity for just about anything? Granted, they are for very worthy causes. There is the Relay For Life, the AIDS Walk, and the UNCF telethon. Local public broadcasting stations have annual membership drives to raise funds. Children's Health Care of Atlanta has a series of radio spots that are designed to make you feel this big (teensy weensy) if you don't help support them. You can even donate your time and help Habitat for Humanity build a new home for a deserving family.
Well this weekend there are two of these events happening, and I am torn. The first is Yogathon. This second annual event will benefit Kashi Atlanta's community service programs. Three hours of doing 'sun salutations' out at the park. Translation: three hours of trying to become one with your inner being, while twisting your body into positions that my cat can't achieve. And in public, too. Nothing like having strangers watch you realize just how old you really are. The second is Shimmy-a-thon, a benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. You guessed it...bellydancing. You can go and cheer on your favorite bellydancer and help them raise money by donating to them. If you can do a knee shimmy (moving just the knees back and forth so that the hips shimmy), you can be a part of a guiness world record attempt. If you are brave enough you can even perform in their Belly Dance show.
Decisions, decisions... I better get my veil and belly chain and start practicing. Namaste!
