Have we been introduced?

 Tell me something about yourself :)

Random, deep, simple, lengthy, happy, sad, funny, significant, insignificant… I’d love to hear a little about who you are.

I won’t bite. I’m nice, promise!

Things I’ve realized about myself lately:

1. I am almost always singing. I’m like my grandmother; put a nickel in…

2. I quote Mean Girls at least once a day, usually.

3. It’s a miracle I weigh less than 200 lbs, given my eating habits.

4. Few things make me laugh harder than autocorrect fails.

5. There’s SO (that’s bolded and italicized) much that I don’t know. Things I have to figure out, things I have yet to experience…

Look at yourself. Look at every inch of your body. What do you see? Freckles, birth marks scars, right? Every reminder of pain, every story is written clearly on your skin. They tell stories of bicycles, hard cement, & stupid ideas. Every scar, whether it’s on your body or deep down in your heart, is a sign of healing. Every scrapped knee eventually scabs over. Every broken heart eventually heals. But here’s the important part. You have to let yourself heal. You can’t keep ripping out the stitches by reminding yourself of your flaws, faults, & sins. Healing is a process that you must allow to do. It’s not always your body’s automatic response.

1opiniononcanadianpolitics: This man is a big reason why I am so involved in politics. Thanks, Jack. You are greatly missed. Words cannot express how bug of an impact your life and your death have had on this great country. (When Michael Jackson died, I didn’t cry. When Jack Layton died, I cried and almost considered calling into work.)

I attempted to submit this to a New York Times photo contest about a “culturally significant” trip you’ve been on…but for some reason it wouldn’t actually submit properly - either something I did or something wrong with their system. Anyway, thought I would post it here, since I worked on it. In February 2011, I visited St. Bernard Parish in New Orleans, Louisiana. The community was utterly devastated when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, flooded with up to twelve feet of water. Although it has come a long way since then, the Parish is still rebuilding. There remains a great deal of evidence of the disaster: spray paint left by search squads, concrete slabs where homes used to be, seashells planted in the dirt from when the water rose. For me, seeing this deserted K-Mart drove home the lingering realities of the damage. Although Hurricane Katrina altered hundreds of thousands of lives, the people’s resilience and enduring spirit are what stick in my memory the most.
