Our host, Greg, is amazing and has given us the opportunity to learn as much as possible while we are here. His home is full of resources and one video we watched the other night was The Story of Stuff. I really beg of you to watch it. It is only 20 minutes long and will really wake you up to a lot of the issues our generation is facing. I have been overwhelmed with new lessons and wisdom so openly given to me during my travels and I really need to sit down and write it all down, get it all out. But for now, please watch this.
Thank you.

So, today was my last day at RBC.
I worked there for over 3 years, so leaving was definitely strange. But I have to say… I honestly thought that it would be easier. With the personality I have, it has been very hard to survive in the cubicle environment. I’ve been battling with it for a while and when I finally found out this New Zealand trip was going to actually happen, the thought of leaving RBC was nothing but joy (hate to admit it). And still, saying goodbye to my coworkers was harddd and heart-wrenching at times. Packing up my things, taking down my quotes and photos, etc was uncomfortable. We forget, I suppose, that most of us spend more time with coworkers than family. You get to know them, you begin to love them, even if you dont want to believe it.
I am happy to be free of the corporate world during this time in my life. Maybe I will greet it again, maybe not. But for now, this is just a nice lesson learned. I loved that team and I will definitely, undeniably miss each of them.
followers. You poor guys. I never post and I know I suck. BUT! I have made a new blog.

Today.
“The study included Christians of all stripes — from Catholics to Protestants of both conservative and liberal denominations. Though three out of four American teenagers claim to be Christian, fewer than half practice their faith, only half deem it important, and most can’t talk coherently about their beliefs, the study found.”
