The Office of Good Deeds Departments
The Department of Arts & Crafts
The Department of Arts & Crafts meets regularly and yet sort of randomly. We make all sorts of cool stuff and swamp stories. We meet at the Active Life Center on West Sixth Street in Austin. For details on our next meeting and for directions, email spike@spikeg.com
The Drop-A-Grudge Department
The Drop-A-Grudge Department encourages you to let go of anger you're harboring. You might want to start small - like by forgiving that bully who tripped you on the playground in fifth grade. Slowly work up to the big grudges. And remember - grudge-dropping can be hard. Really really hard. So don't despair if you're struggling. Check out the blog for stories of other people dropping grudges. And send us your stories, too.
The Lemonade Stand
The Lemonade Stand is a place for you to share stories of how you or someone you know has taken a life obstacle and turned the tables on that obstacle. For example, being stalked and developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder drove Spike to take martial arts, and then yoga, and then to start a daily meditation practice. Even though she's not going to send a thank you note to her stalker, it was this scary catalyst that set her on the path to healing.
