Hi everyone!
I’ve got only a couple of days left in the southwest before I head back to the winter wonderland that’s currently the east coast. Since I’ve been here in Las Vegas, I’ve been working on east coast hours (i.e. work starts between 5am and 6am), and I am sort of exhausted. Granted I usually get up at that time in D.C. to workout, but this is a little different. I literally am at my computer communicating with people in full sentences by that time of the morning now, and tend to forget which time zone I’m in when work is done for the day. Having normal hours (and coworkers I can see face to face) will give my brain some relief.
I’m definitely not anxious to leave this gorgeous weather, and return to this though.
That sweet little 54 degree temp is like a beacon of hope. (And apparently I’ve lived on the east coast too long since I’m considering the 50s to be warm weather.)
Anyways, I wanted to share two gems with you guys today! First of all, my best friend Meg shared this video with me last week, and I’m in love with everything about it.
I might be behind the times and this video has been out for years now, but it’s news to me and I was too excited to not share it with you all.
I feel like the kid in it (kid president?) is a son I never knew I had. This video reminded me of how important it is to love life and have that fire in your belly. Also, the kid goes by the name “Soulpancake,” and that’s pretty much the most awesome name ever. I feel a little jipped that no one ever gave ME that nickname back in elementary school. Although maybe that’s a good thing.
Also, one more thing! This article on what it’s like to be a twenty something these days? Holy moly. I was practically rolling on the floor laughing when I found this silly jif-filled article trending yesterday after work. Do yourself a favor and read it.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, since the Paleo challenge ended, I’ve been extremely not Paleo. I needed a brief Pirate’s Booty intervention over the weekend. I’ve realized in the last few days, though, that I liked how I felt on Paleo better than now that I’m off. You’ve got to listen to your body.
…after you listen to Soulpancake.
Have a great day!
What’s one thing that recently motivated you? Feel free to share links or stories in the comments!
I needed this! Thanks for sharing the pep talk! I want to be on the path that leads to AWESOME!
Um, that one shining, brief interlude of 50 degree weather? I’ve been looking forward to it for DAYS. The weather here is just so damn sad (meanwhile, my parents in Colorado make it a point to tell me how sunny and gorgeous it is at home — apparently they like to torture me).
And I luuuurve the Kid President video — I’ve been randomly quoting it all week. “What if Michael Jordan quit? He would’ve never made Space Jam! I love Space Jam!”
Ugggg. I LOVE that kid.
Soulpancake is actually an awesome website created by Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) and some of his friends. You should definitely check it out!!
I’ll have to check that out- thanks!
Lol!! LOVE Kid President!
