"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "
This is my favourite quote. It has such powerful meaning and goes to show you that we all have something we can contribute to this world. Definitely something I live by.
Germs
July 20, 2012
Well my night started off unpleasent at best. I had a freak out moment, and it all started when I got to work at my part-time job. The girl I was taking off, decided it would be a good idea to work her shift even though she was hacking, sneezing, coughing and barely had a voice. Now, I am horrible at taking my own advice, because I'm sure I'd try to still work too, but with the state my co-worker was in, I wanted to just bolt out of there. As soon as she stepped out of the office, I turned into a disinfecting lunatic and let nothing get in my way. Because my life is so hectic, I regularly feel that being sick is never an option, which has caused me to own a bottle of every single vitamin and health pill known to man. So it began, the race to use a whole container of lysol wipes before her cold germs caught up with me.
Keyboard? check. Phone? check. Stapler? check. Every single pen? check. Now, it's at this point in my blog entry where I expect you to judge me, even I second guess my sanity sometimes. I had a few onlookers even stare me down like a pig was flying around my desk, but that didn't phase me. I even went as far in my frantic state as wiping down each coin/bill that was in my float that night, and believe me that takes a while. It felt like a genius thing to do in the heat of a disinfecting spree. No way in heck I'm letting even the smallest germ get near me, plus money is probably the most germ infested thing in this office. Now 2 hours later, I have finally relaxed and feel content in my work environment.
My only other task for the night is to order my work 2 cases of lysol wipes. I can't help but laugh at what turned out to be the most riveting part of my Friday night. Fun times.

When rubber meets pavement
July 2, 2012
It's that time of year once again. I packed my bags, hit up Tim's for my usual medium double double, then 'Vipes' (my car, don't judge) and I hit the road. For me, there is nothing better then driving by myself, blasting my favourite music and singing my heart out, in the warm summer sun. With 9 total drive hours, that allows for many loony things to be seen. I shall list them below:
- Saw guys playing guitars on the side of the highway. I still can't understand what they were doing there, other than they gave up on holding their thumbs out and decided to practice for a gig instead.
- I made it from Edmonton to Red Deer without having to go to the bathroom. That NEVER happens.
- Ran into classic Calgary traffic, except I must have seen at least 8 police cars on the side of the road. Typical long weekend I suppose.
- I passed by a Google Maps car with the crazy camera on the top of it. I like to think I'm famous now.
- While driving through a small town, there was a guy running in his underwear on the side of the road with marker all over his body. Either a hilarious bro prank or weird running style?
- Then when I arrived at my destination, I passed by a truck bed turned into a hot tub with multiple people soaking up the sun. Pure awesomeness.
There's always something fun and exciting about summer road trips, especially with great weather and family being a major part of it. Hello summer, Let the good times roll...
