When life gives you lemons, be difficult and make grape juice!

Not necessarily the odd one out, but never really fitting "in". This is my life and everything in it. All the love, laughter and happiness; and sometimes the sadness too. This is my journey as a fruitloop in this world full of cheerios, trying to make my mark and live every day to the fullest! (if you have to ask, I am an orange fruitloop)

Help For Haiti

This week my work hosted an Italian potluck to support Haiti. We were all incouraged to invite our friends and family to the event and to donate what we could, the owner of the company funded the event (paying for the food, letting us take a long lunch to hang out with the people attending, etc)and also generously matched what was raised. From this small fundraiser put together by our office, we were able to raise over $2,200 with the match from our owner that put us at $4,500! With the final total in, the donation was made to UNICEF.

I am truly honored to work for such an amazing company and humbled to have such awesome co workers. Just think if every company held a small get together with just a small donation jar, you'd be amazed at the results!
