One of the many ways we can continue to cultivate gratitude is by giving things away – our practice, kindness to strangers and spare change to those in need.
Recently, I read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and in it he talks about the one being on the planet that doesn’t have to work for a living – the dog. The dog creates happiness in others and that’s why we endlessly support these fantastic four legged friends. If you’ve ever come home to a smiling, panting face and a wagging tail, you understand the magic of how unconditional love paves the way for all things. My own little furry friend, Roxy, has taught me endless lessons about the power of love over the last two years, and she’s inspired the Podcast for Puppies drive.
Last year was the inaugural year for Podcasts for Puppies. We raised $750 for the ASPCA, but I think we can do better. Our original goal of $3000 still stands, and it can only be reached with your help! Every penny earned through my podcasts for the month of December will go to the ASPCA. If you’re a regular subscriber, your subscription will already go to the cause. But, in order to reach $3000, we need 300 subscribers!
Commit to your practice. Commit to giving it away, too. This is a win-win opportunity. When you subscribe to the Podcast in December, it goes to 2 good causes – your yoga practice and the puppies (and kitties, too!). Tell your friends and fellow yogis and lets create common cause together to support the furry friends who endlessly, without question or judgement, always support us.
Stay tuned for a count on how we’re progressing toward our goal. Remember – every subscription helps… you and the puppies!
