I was having a conversation with God a few nights ago about how I've been feeling lately about my life. This morning, I woke up and the first thought I had was something about how I'm not really living but watching my life passing me by, waiting for whatever is next. I have nothing to look forward to. And how that doesn't make any sense because I'm ( Read more... )

My new volunteer blog is up and running! I ended up scrapping what I had in mind for the inaugural posting and went in a totally different direction. I hope it's at least coherent; I started getting So sleepy trying to do edits after I wrote it. LOL!

Peep it: DoinGood In My Hood

And I'm out,

Okay, I'm about to say something I don't think I've ever said before: I just dropped 150 bucks on a beauty splurge! It's ridiculous; all kinds of crazy lotions and perfumes and makeup (wha??). Sometimes a girl just wants to feel pretty, I guess ( Read more... )

Last night was round two of our Young Professionals happy hour/networking series. At first, I didn't necessarily want to go all the way from Vinings to the Highlands, especially after I ended up having to backroad it the entire way there because traffic was so bad (ugh, can we have one in my neck of the woods, pls?). But in the end I was so glad ( Read more... )

These past couple of days have been a trip! I didn't even write about the massive mega-memorial they held for Michael Jackson in LA on Tuesday. ( Read more... )

And our first service project is DONE - a success! We had a mixture of people who volunteered to just bring items and those who came and served at the dinner. Of course, this had to be the day that my boss called a 4pm meeting when I needed to be way across town at 5. *smh* So I was all kinds of late to the Hope Lodge. But all's well that end's ( Read more... )

This was a MUCH busier day than I intended! Have I written much about my volunteer project in here? I'm co-chairing a service project tomorrow for ACS YP. Friday, my co-chair and I were freaking out because nobody had signed up. Fortunately, things have worked out and we've got 9 people signed up to help out tomorrow. *phew!* But all day today I ( Read more... )

Tonight was the much anticipated first networking event for our Young Professionals group...and it went really well! We were crammed into the smallest space possible at Twist and I felt like the folks who got there early set things up a little backwards (why were people picking up their name tags at the back of the area?) There were SO many people ( Read more... )

I volunteered for the first time ever at a Relay for Life tonight. I'd heard of Relay and was familiar with the event, but can you believe that I'd never been to one? But after being there tonight, I definitely think I'm interested in working on gathering a team to raise funds and have a good time next year. Especially after two particularly ( Read more... )

*doing the macarena* I am FINALLY back! There is SO much I want to write about, I almost don't even know where to start. I realized in the two weeks that I'd been sans Mac (my laptop) that writing is truly a passion in my life that I've been neglecting for far too long. So last night (or was it the night before?), I came up with an idea on how to ( Read more... )
