get over yourself!

sometimes we [or people we love] are dealt really crappy hands. i don't pretend to know or understand everything about faith but i think that sometimes you can find blessings hidden in what seems like the biggest crap storm you've ever seen. 

do these blessings make up for what's going on? probably not in your mind. not in my mind right now, not at all.  but i do trust that God has a plan. 

i can only speak for myself and this is what is resounding loud and clear in my heart... i need to live more for others than myself. and i haven't been doing that. not.at.all. i spend so much of my time thinking about myself and how things affect me, and so on and so forth. more time thinking about myself than the people i love and care about. and that's not the person i want to be. 

so i'm challenging myself and you all too...

first:::: what's important to you? who is important to you?

second:::: what are you doing about it? it can be big or small, but make sure you're doing something. don't put if off because YOU are busy. make the time. if you love somebody, tell them, show them. earnestly make it a priority everyday. 

Get Your Good On!

today was one of those walking on sunshine days. you know what i'm talking about? 

it's my last day of my working streak [i have the next five days off], which is always reason for celebration. not that i don't like my job [because i love it] but i also love sleeping past 5am. 

after work i treated myself to some new workout clothes. saturday is the halfway point (6 weeks) of the training plan i've been doing and i've not missed a single workout. hard work = lululemon, right? 

not only did i find three super cute tops, i got to spend some time talking to the amazing ladies that work in the showroom, alex and lindsay. alex has a yoga blog called Yoga for Awesomeness so go give her some love! the asheville marathon will be lindsay's first full marathon too, so we're going to try to run together sometime. 

i'm also excited because alex is teaching a complimentary yoga class at a local gym [hard exercise works] on tuesday and i'm off so i'm going to check it out! so i met some great girls, made plans to workout and got some beautiful new shirts!

the blue middle shirt and the black shirt on the right are actually the same [turbo tank], i loved it so much that i couldn't just get one. i've learned my lesson with lulu. if you like it buy it because it probably won't be there if you decide to go back and get it! the one on the far left is a no limits tank. love them all and only wish i could wear them all day everyday. 

from lulu i headed over to manna food bank. this is something i've been really excited about! i decided to start volunteering again (i haven't since pharmacy school!) so i attended orientation. we got to learn a lot about hunger in WNC and what manna is doing to eradicate it. i signed up for this about 2 weeks ago and have really been counting down the days. i'm really ready to get involved and hopefully i'll be able to get started next week! 

tomorrow i'm heading to KY... i'm staying with my parents tomorrow night then heading on to louisville to see some of my bests for shannon's bachelorette party!  i can't wait to see everyone and have some fun [although i'll probably be regretting it come sunday morning].

have a great weekend!!!
