So much to think about...

Do you ever have those days when things are just not going your way? I have them more often than I like but I am beginning to realize that "those days" are meant for me to put things in perspective... you see I work in a non-profit and every day I see people coming and going who are battling the disease of cancer in some form of fashion. This past Friday I went to my first "radiation" party - the party was for my co-worker who had just completed her last treatment for radiation. The most amazing thing about this individual is what she does on a daily basis. She counsels current cancer patients, fits their balding heads with a free wig and gives them hope that the fight against cancer is worth it. Now I realize that there are many good causes out there to contribute your time and money too, but cancer and I have a close connection and that is why I have dedicated my life to fighting it. I encourage you to find something close to your heart to fight for, whether it is a religious cause or not. Dedicating our lives to serving others is the greatest gift we can receive and give to others... I have never worked so hard in a job as I do today but also I have never felt so gratified in my career. We all have our careers whether they are in the "working" world or "working" home. Regardless I feel we are all called to fulfill a mission and I am so glad that at the tender age of 26, I think this is my mission.

I am not one to speak very loudly about religion (except in a debate that is). But God is such a profound example of how we are to pattern our existence here on earth that I can't keep quiet about it. I try to live my life by example. I am a firm believer in the good in people and working in the environment I am in, everyday I am reassured that there is good in the world and people willing to put others before themselves for a passionate cause.

Believe in something and share it with others...
