Holding Out for a Hero

June 3, 2015

There are so many great people out there in the world who deserve to be recognized.  They don’t do things for accolades, awards, money.  They do it because they know they have to.  Or they want to.  There is no outside pressure on these heroes; they have a pretty strong moral compass and operate in there.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. - Audrey Hepburn

This post is dedicated to any hero who needs a little kudos.  The hero who…

  • Stops at stop signs. #DontDoTheCaliforniaRoll #AndPutYourPhoneDown
  • Mows three lawns in the neighborhood just to be helpful. #ThankYouKarmaForThisOne
  • Helps out a neighbor when someone runs over their mailbox. #ThereAreSkidMarksOnTheDriveway #HowDrunkWereYou #OnSundayMorning
  • Tears out a board on the deck and manages to replace it even though I purchased it a foot too short. #IKnewIShouldHaveSaidEightFeet #MeasureOnceCutTwice
  • Flourishes in customer service. #BlessYourHeartImNotThatPatient
  • Takes a little blog and turns it into something awesome. #TellMeYourSecretsPlease
  • Manages to keep their tupperware lids and bottoms together. #WhereDoTheyAllGo
  • Lets the world see that they are real and not Pinterest-perfect all the time. #RealBloggersLiveInTheRealWorld

Who is your hero?

A thank you

May 16, 2015

Today’s Blogger, May I prompt is tips for being a tourist in your own town.  I’m not going to lie, I didn’t even prepare to write this.  And it kills me because I love Pittsburgh and I always want to share new and fun places and people and things.  So I’ll still write about it, but not today.

Yesterday, I met with another Pittsburgh professional whom I knew from a breakfast group (that’s sadly disbanded, it seems).  You know how you meet people and you just instantly click with them?  He’s one of those kinds of people.  I haven’t seen him in about a year, but we still had a great conversation.

And it got me thinking about passing of time and growth and where I started off and how far I’ve come.  Back when I was in high school and thought I was hot shit all the way to the present day.  Pittsburgh has an interesting way of connecting people and I love it.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has laughed with me, who has let me be in their lives, who stood by me as I stumbled and fell, who have offered to help me out, who want to see me succeed, and who are with me as I’m standing up and moving forward.

Today my interview with Marissa at Ampersand Creative was unleashed.  So another thank you to her for asking me to share a little of me with her and her readers.

Choose to see the good in the world.

Thank you for choosing to see the good in me.
