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!

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...

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
