I've been on a packing/tossing/organizing kick lately and I came across my first grade journal. Such a treasure! If my scanner wasn't being so disagreeable I'd scan a few pages for you.
I had quite an array of intrests...
I wrote about my cats: Cinderella and Tequila.
I wrote about the time my mom made cookies and forgot the sugar. I can still remember thinking this was the most hilarious thing EVER.
I wrote about my imaginary trip to Disneyland.
I wrote that when I grew up I was going to be a "rockstar, cop and ballerina". I guess even back then I was all about balance.
I wrote about my "husband" and where that we were going to live in a "pink house with lots of good stuff".
It was fun to look back through the pages written in big colorful crayon letters. Right now being a rockstar/ballerina/cop sounds like a lot of work though so I'm going to take a nap.

Back in January I shared something special with you. The fact that it is now June makes me feel like a terrible slacker. But my feelings of laziness aside I am excited to share more with you about The Jesse Rohde Foundation.
First check out their fantastic new website. Isn't it great? I'm so proud and in awe of Jesse's determination to improve the lives of others, wherever in the world they may be.
From the Foundation's website:
Dr. Rohde’s vision for The Rohde Foundation grew out of his belief that an effective way to stop preventable disease in rural communities was to empower and grow the local medical work force. In 2009, the Oworobong Clinic in rural Ghana opened with over 400 patients lining up to be seen. As rural facilities continue to be opened, each of these clinics will provide health care access to over 50,000 people who previously were left on the outskirts of health care catchment areas.
Please spread the word and help if you can.
