***UPDATED 3/21/2013. I’M NOT SURE WHY THE CHANGES WEREN’T SAVED BEFORE, BUT I HAVE RE-ADDED THE MISSING PORTION OF THIS POST. SORRY! After another crazy weekend, it’s nice to just take a minute to reflect on what was done the last couple of days! I’m still having trouble posting on a daily basis, but […]
Day 64: I was worried that I wouldn’t have time to think of an idea for an act of kindness and squeeze it in, but I was lucky and an opportunity presented itself. As I was headed home from volleyball, I saw a bus going the opposite direction on the other side of the road […]
Today’s act of kindness is dedicated to my cousin Angel. The world is a happier place because you are here with us. We are truly blessed to know you…even though we are 1700+ miles away, you and the family are always in our hearts. Today, March 6th, is the national awareness day for the R-Word […]
I felt like a child again today when we received the email notification at work that the office was closing early due to the extreme wether in our area. It was a nice precaution to ensure all employees got home safely. And boy did it take me back to my elementary school days when you […]
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I work for a company in the Treasury group. Our finance department as a whole, is a pretty young group, and contrary to popular belief, the Finance area CAN be fun! After having the entire company split up between multiple offices throughout the area, mostly because […]
I went on a little bit of a shopping spree today. I thought I was only purchasing a couple necessities and came out with items that I didn’t really need. It happens…we’re all entitled to it every once in a while, right? Today’s opportunity for an act of kindness came up during my time shopping. […]
A couple of days ago, my co-worker let me know that she needed someone to take pictures at her son’s first birthday party, and I jumped at the chance to volunteer for the job. I’m not a professional, by any means, but I enjoy taking pictures so I figured, why not? And so, for today’s […]
Sometimes, life gives you an opportunity to be a good person, to help someone in need…and it’s all up to you whether or not you choose to take it. On my way home from work today, I passed by a Hobby Lobby to pick up some arts and crafts items that I needed. As I […]
Today was full of excitement for me! I came to work expecting another ordinary Thursday and got an awesome text that pretty much kept me on the edge of my seat excited…my cousin informed me that one of my favorite shows, Chicago Fire, was filming in my hometown! I immediately decided it was in my […]
This is going to be quick because I’m currently at dinner and am a little tipsy! Why I decided to meet my sister and God-sister for dinner and a wine tasting on a weeknight? I have no idea…I obviously can’t hold my liquor! But if you’re ever in the northwest suburbs of Chicago hit up […]
