Well I'm setting at Coffee Zone drinking my morning cup of joe, trying to compose a mental list of the things I need to get done today. I keep getting distracted by The Best of Frank Sinatra that is playing in the background. I still find it surprising how many of his songs I know. You can never tell what kind of music is going to be playing in this place. It could be anything from Frank to Andre to Middle Eastern Chant. Osama,the gentleman who owns this place, is from Jordan. He is also a cancer survivor. You never know who that “one in four” person is going to be.
Second cup of coffee and the fog is starting to lift. I’m beginning to believe that my next career may be in the non-profit field. I have told a few people of my idea to form an organization that gives cancer patients a chance to have a night out, enjoying the arts, and forgetting about their disease. I think that this would involve me in two areas that I enjoy and can make a difference in. No need to panic yet, I’m just brainstorming. I don’t want a job anymore that just pays the bills anymore. I want a career that allows me to “pay it forward”.
I think that the story that my cousin, Elizabeth, is writing about Christa is going to run this Friday. I will post a link to the story as soon as I have one. It is going to run in the Tulsa World’s Satellite section as part of their coverage for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I’m going to post this now, finish my coffee, and get going on my list of things that need to be done. I'll write more soon.
Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty

I think it's a really good idea. You should certainly go for it.
