How I did it
How to sponsor a child through world vision
It took me
10 years
It made me
feel blessed

How I did it: Ever since I was young, I have wanted to sponsor a child through World Vision. Once I almost did, but I really didn't have enough money, but I wanted to so bad though. I always watched World Vision television events, I was drawn to them. I always told myself that one day, when I was financially stable, when I could afford it, I would sponsor a child. Now I sponsor 2 :D Read how I did it…

How to walk the stairs at work (20), 4 times a week
It took me
1 week
It made me
Stronger

How I did it: I just started walk up the stairs at work. At first it took me 10 minutes, but as time went by I got used to it and I got better at it and now it takes 7 minutes.I usually use my last 15 minute break, which I take right at the end of my shift, to walk up the stairs, or I do it after my shift.I stretch a bit before, and I make sure to always stretch afterward (very important to stretch).I always eat a little something after doing the stair… Read how I did it…

Blood, it's in you to give. / Give Blood. Give Life.

Work had a blood drive. Made an appointment and donated. Simple as that. It can save up to 4 lives. Was told that it would be in someone else in just about 4 weeks (they are that low in blood – couldn’t believe it).

See Huey Lewis and the News Live
OMG

Amazingly awesome!!! Saw Huey Lewis and the News at Bluesfest Ottawa (Ontario). You have to see them at least once in your life!! A legend! Cost me 40$ CAD and got to see other bands like Jolie Holland, Dropkick Murphys, Peter Frampton (just heard some of the music on the other stage), and a bit of Josh Ritter.
