Are you constantly afraid that a tree is going to come crashing through your bedroom window on a windy night and ruin everything you own and possibly crush sweet sleeping you. No? Well I am. However, since I visited Let Your Worries Go, I’ve learned to let my anxieties dissolve into the ether. The site, run by the charitable folks at Northwestern Mutual asks users to cast their individual concerns into the sea, sky, or space via a pretty sweet animation. Each click on certain icons denoting specific societal worries allows the financial network to donate to charitable organizations dealing with the specific social woes, such as Habitat for Humanity, America’s Second Harvest, and The YMCA. While my specific tree trials aren’t exactly covered such pressing issues as health & fitness, natural disaster, illness, hunger, and education are covered, amongst others. So go ahead, tell Northwestern Mutual your worries and they’ll and they’ll do their part to make them a thing of the past.
