Best day ever. That’s all I can say. More words and tons of pictures to come, but the Dance Walk was a huge success and I also picked up my birthday bike made possible from all of my friends. We even picked up a HUGE new friend during Dance Walk. More to come, but sleep is calling. I am grateful to have the most amazing people in my life. I am in awe of you.
Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.
Today was a fantastic day – the sun was shining, successfully resolved an issue at work, played with a RC helicopter, and had a wonderful dinner with my favorite guy. I was/am feeling a little under the weather this evening, but hope to be back to 100% tomorrow for two reasons: 1) I’m picking up Electra in the morning and b) It’s the next Birmingham Dance Walk! I cannot wait for this one as we have a surprise guest coming. If you’ve seen the tweets and Facebook posts, you might already know. If not, a clue is below. See you tomorrow at 1 p.m. on 2nd Avenue North by Urban Standard.
Things have been moving at the speed of light these days at work, in my personal life, and extracurricular activities. I am not complaining – staying busy keeps my mind engaged, especially when I’m working with the creative talents behind the Jefferson Shelby County Chapter of the American Red Cross‘ Paint the Town Red event scheduled for April 20th right here in downtown Birmingham. I went to my first meeting last night – I’m volunteering as part of the Social Media team – and let me just tell you, they are planning AMAZING art for Birmingham. I cannot wait to go to this!
I have been busy with meetings and meet ups with See Jane Write, Theatre Downtown, Paint the Town Red, Magic City Post, the next Birmingham Dance Walk, and working my my goals and fitness thanks to Iron Tribe, losing weight, and seeing my man! Whew – I’m tired just thinking about the past few weeks and the weeks coming up. But they are worth it – these are some great organizations that do so much for our community.
The past two days of challenges for 31 Days to a Better Blog have been to 1) be more engaging on Facebook and Twitter and b) sign up for a blogging conference or seminar. Well, I’ve already blown #1 out of the park apparently as my sister, who I adore, posted on Facebook that I was updating too much and she was a little tired of it. lol! There are worse things, but it does tell me that I’m engaged. I loved Javacia’s tip today on posting more quality and not just quantity on social media – you can read her post here. And I’m also attending the See Jane Write event tonight: Blogging and the Future of Community Journalism. So I’ve got those two covered. I am still working on a new header, as well as whether I want to change my URL, title or platform. We shall see, but they are great tips in the series.
More tomorrow, lovelies! Until then….
Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
