Let's say in... 5 years?

Richland We Day!

And by "big", I meant MASSIVE.

Recently, I got the chance to help spark the flame of activism in the hearts of a few kids at a little private school in Richmond Hill, as they banded together to inspire the students in their school to BE THE CHANGE during their We Day assembly. :)

There were only, about, a hundred kids, but man, they were powerhouses!

The Ambassadors (the kids) are collecting pennies to build water wells in impoverished communities around the world as part of Free The Children's initiative, We Create Change. Every $25 worth of pennies equals clean drinking water for someone for their entire life! I know, madness!

I was able to speak on behalf of Free The Children at their We Day assembly and gave away a few Artisans products (rings, necklaces, bracelets, buttons, etc) made by members in some of the communities Free The Children work in (Massai Mara, Africa; India, etc).

It was an amazing experience.
There could be a Craig Kielburger in there! haha

At Ikea

Went to Ikea for the first time the other day... #toocomfortable #superakwkawrd #inpublic #lovestosleep #inpublic #purpledrank

Love her.

A friend of mine told me that Solange reminds him of me in this video. To preface, I love Solange, but damn, homie--I really dance like that?

...I do. Haha.

Synchronistically enough, I had thought of Solange out of the blew the same day my friend relayed the video to me--Not to mention the lyrics. Perfect timing, Universe, as always.
Side note: When my hair isn't straight (which it is the majourity of the time) it actually looks a lot like hers!

Okay, no lies, this is pretty on par with what I'm doing in my mind when I see someone playing piano...

Week 2

People keep telling me "you're a strong girl".
I might believe them.

7 Attractive Qualities in Women

What makes a woman attractive?

A friend of mine posted this blog article on 7 Attractive Qualities in Women, according to CCY (The Catholic Chaplaincy at York). Now, it'd be easy to dismiss this article with the hints of spiritual influence entangled in a couple of the points, but there's a lot of good stuff one could reap the benefits of by reading this.

I'd like to think I'm working my way towards becoming that woman.

There's nothing more horrid than someone spilling red wine all over your wedding dress--Carrie style; In other words, there's nothing more stupefying than your worst fears actualized right in front of your eyes.

One of my worst fears is happening right now, as I type.

And all I can do is ask God for the grace to help me through.

The heart wants what it wants.

Today, a bridge began construction.
A steady and sure line from one heart to another.

Today, (okay) I made a line from my heart to your heart.
