Secrets

Today I had an amazing realization. Its ok to talk about myself. Lol, if you know me, you know that talking is usually not a problem for me. I'll talk about just about anything but I usually hold back when it comes to myself at work. I think I'm afraid of judgment.

But this week i actually shared something personal with a bunch of veteran bankers including some bosses. It was hard to hide too, but I guess some things just shouldn't be kept secret...

Since our head boss (Boss) was visiting he wanted to take us all out to dinner. I offered to go for a short while but I had to leave early because I had bible study. At the table, Boss said, "So what are you studying in bible study?" Shocked that a person so high up in this business organization has asked that question I looked down at the table and saw my study guide for the Book of Daniel. I picked it up, showed it to the table and then totally got to share how our study of Daniel was impacting my life and my friends!

The boxes are everywhere

This sight you see here is of my living room. We are surrounded by the boxes that hold our life's accumulation of stuff.

In preparation for the big move my husband has so smartly begun packing. Although I too should help with this, I am having a hard time. For me, the sorting and the throwing away of so many items has been difficult. During the packing process I encounter physical markers from the days when that t-shirt from the 9th grade or that country/rap/mixed CD take me back to school day memories. And then I laugh, tell my husband the story related to that particular item which reminded me of the days when my friends and I tried to fit 5 people into my 4 seater Integra on the way to the mall or when we decided to take a road trip to Nashville, TN just because. Sometimes too, I find myself sniffling back a tear from the memories of my dad or long lost friends. But I guess that's the purpose of keeping things--so then you can take them along with you as you move.

City living

I love working downtown because on occasion there's a protest or rally of some sort. And really,  isn't it an honor to see your fellow citizens giving a darn about something? In many countries people aren't even allowed to disagree with the powers that be so I say since we (Americans) can do it, we should!

Today we have the tea party protest. My husband said they're protesting taxes all over the country so I want give a shout out to those  San Jose residents that are actually using this Constitutional right that the rest of us are too lazy or complacent to use.
