LOTS of things are happening this week! Not going to bore you with a laundry list. But I AM going to hit you with some highlights in a nutshell.
...I don't know why we use that phrase. Nuts, nutshells, don't get it.
Found an AWESOME new app, that I'm trying to use just about every day. It's called Charity Miles. If you're a runner, download it. If you're someone interested in charity & making a difference, download it. If you walk to and from your car while cleaning laundry at the laundromat (snooze), DOWNLOAD THIS APP! Charity Miles donates 25 cents/mile run or walked, and 10 cents/mile cycled. Insane, simple, brilliant!
I love this idea of combining physical activity with giving BACK! seriously, was beyond STOKED to see that something like this exists! Check it out, lemme know what you think. So far I've run about 10 miles while donating to Autism Speaks, and plan to use it for every outdoor mile I run in 2013.
Also exciting, job interviews with very meaningful organizations. I admitted during this interview (and maybe I shouldn't have, who knows) that I truthfully do not know "what I want to be when I grow up." We'll find out if that paid off in a few days..cross your fingers for me! What I did find out when I said that, was that it was REALLY liberating. To hear the interviewers' reactions was fabulous, because they agreed with me! I told them all I want is to feel like I'm working for a purpose, and I think working with this organization will be a fabulous stepping stone on this path and on my journey to make this world a better place however I can!
Before I uncover the very next on-the-edge-of-your-seat-exciting-piece-of-news.. please give yourself a hug. Now you're probably looking at the screen like, what the heck is this chick doin? Seriously.. hug yourself. KAY GREAT, glad we all did that.
I received a fabulous message from a more than fabulous person who told me that she turned to writing to express her feelings. She sent me something she wrote. I. CRIED. *happy proud mama tears, not misery tears* IT. WAS. BEAUTIFUL. and it was all about how being different is OK! Which I felt coincided with the start of this new blog, so duh, I had to talk a little about it.
My coming of age story is all about being myself, finding myself, and leaving my mark. If you don't like the way I do things, or what I do, or what I believe in; you are entitled to your own opinion. But growing up is all about (at least this is the basic gist of what I've gathered) exploring, and figure out who you are. YOU ARE DIFFERENT. Get over it! I am! The best we can do is share & educate!
that's it & that's all! : D
