Seeing Double and Sevenly Dominates (see what I did there?)

Happy weekend kids!  Hope you are all having a most wonderful, restful weekend, more than likely it's full of tons of snow for my NY amigos!

Although I am (thankfully) NOT snowed in to my apartment like my sister is and therefore, I'm very capable of leaving m apartment this evening.. I am not.  I know, I know, you've read two recent posts in which I'm staying in on a weekend night... I assure you, I'm NOT as lame as I come off.

I just turned on Despicable Me, poured my glass of red wine (very) full so I don't have to refill it, and am looking up birthday presents for Sunhine's mother.  OH, and I've been HOOKED on this iMadeFace app..for the last umm 30 minutes.

giiiiiirl I don't rememba the last time my hair was that tame

Otherwise! Pretty darn close!

Anyway, here is what has been on my mind the last few days..

This is something that I have (indirectly) always held true and have lived by.  Although, I do always say that what I "live" by is what my mom told me when I was little, "You were put on this planet to help make someone else's life just a bit easier."  I think these two statements are parallel.  They have the same underlying meaning. 

I hope that I will one day be able to be secure enough, or "make a living" by doing something that I love doing that will help other people that otherwise would not have had that help.  I recently went home to visit my parents (and get some sweet stuff for my apartment from my family) and my dad had a conversation with me about financial security. 

Do NOT get me wrong, I obviously think this is VERY important, if I didn't care at all.. "paying the bills" wouldn't be part of the title of this blog, duh. HOWEVER, while I am able to help others, I will help.  Even if it is going to take me the next few years to find myself in a situation in which I have some money saved up, I will work to get to that point while working for a non-profit organization.  I need to find my way, whatever that may be, while finding myself, and doing something I love.  Passion is so important.

I'm starting to ramble.  I think you get the point.  Be passionate.  Help others.  Live within your means, but give what you can back.  In whatever way that may be.  It doesn't have to be a $1,000 donation to a charity; it can be a half hour of your time at a soup kitchen or a women's shelter or just holding the door open for the person pushing the baby carriage and balancing 4943597 bags of groceries.  Within your means.
