Pink Weds

Some people have asked me what the meaning behind Pink Wednesday is aka Pink Weds so I thought I would share its story!

6 years ago when I started working in offices during college I just felt like I needed something to get me through the week, something to celebrate and mark a special day and just something to look forward to every week. So I started wearing Pink on Wednesdays, every Weds. And I have done it every Weds for the past 6 years! Every office I have worked at I have gotten people to participate and now at school we are getting our students involved. Starting this summer we're going to tell all of the classes about it and get as many people involved as we can. Its just a fun little thing to do.

Weds is really the roughest day of the week. You’re smack dab in the middle with no end in sight, but instead of looking at it as a bad thing, we celebrate Pink Weds. ( Did you know that Weds is actually the top day for suicides? Its a fact! ) Pink is a very uplifting color and brightens things up. And by celebrating it we focus on the fact that the week is almost done and we will make it through! Once you get through Weds its really a free fall into the weekend. It just really seems to cheer people up. And It really does seem to give people a sense of community. Its just a great fun thing to do!

So I encourage you as next Weds approaches, jump in on the Pink Weds love!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
