The Selfish Truth
I know once you looked at my title, the first thought that could have come to mind was "how rude" or "this is not right." Well, if you give me a few minutes of your time, I will prove to you that this is the missing piece. We're told from when the time we're toddlers that being selfish is wrong. We must share and give to others. As we become an adult this idea stays with us and we live our everyday life like this. But let me as a question: Have you been a giver so much that you felt as if you were empty? Or you seem to be the only one, but your emotional state is failing. Well, let me help you out. The day you become a selfish giver will be worth it. Yes, you read that sentence right. I used being selfish and giver in the same voice. This is because a selfish giver has the ability to enjoy their opportunity to serve. They find that being selfish gives them the greatest joy. Let's break this down.

You Will Fail
You will fail. Get up and get over it. You’ll be thankful for it later . Hello loves, and welcome to my first official blog entry. A sort of morbid way to start, but I have a weird sense of humor. But I do mean this. You will fail. Whether you like it or not, though I don’t know anyone who likes to fail at things. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but definitely an impacting one. A lesson I keep learning repeatedly. In the words of Sansa Stark:

My Non-Profit
I talked to my co-leader yesterday since I’ve decided nobody is truly in charge yet except the both of us, and we both decided I work on the business plan, she works on finding a suitable third-in-command for our organization. I came up with a name for the said organization, and that is “We Help,” because we are intent on helping people with chronic illnesses/disabilities that make it hard to get away from families whether the family is abusive or stable. For starters, I as a leader need a job that can do that for me, by making a stable income.

The High Cost of Managing Without Flexibility
This is an article about a story that seems to repeat itself almost every day in the 24/7/365, social media-oriented culture that we live in today. Yes, it's an embarrassing, "gotcha" moment—and in this case, it is McDonald's in the crosshairs of people from around the world. Yesterday, it may have been Starbucks and what happened in their Philadelphia location involving two black men who chose one of their locations for a business meeting that led to a corporate crisis, both in terms of public relations and internally with their employees (see below).

The Value of Time
I'm a little bit frustrated these days and one thing in particular that I'd like to share. I am an Early Childhood Educator and I have started making felt stories as a side business to earn some extra income. Making a felt story not only costs money to buy the supplies, but it takes up my time; as others who make felt stories as a side business can relate.

3 Major Things I Learned Working in Retail
Let's be honest. Working retail is no easy task for most people. People working in retail are usually bottom chain workers. Meaning, we end up doing the heavy lifting; the hard work and dirty work that no one wants to. Often, this type of work includes cleaning floors, organizing the clothes, refolding, making everything look neat and tidy as well as working the register AND on top of that running back and forth checking on customers and making sure EVERYONE is happy. As mentioned earlier, working in retail is difficult and not meant for the sensitive. Take it from someone who is sensitive and has many anxieties... it is not easy.
