instead of pondering about how having a job would make me just a bit happier, i'm trying real hard to be present, love those around me, and give however i can. i came up with the idea just now to post my blessings here and there to remind myself that we are blessed in ways unimaginable.
today's blessing: today i will be hanging out with my mentee. she is 15 and attends a charter school here in la jolla. she commutes nearly 3 hours on school days to go to a school that is known to prepare students adequately and successfully for college. at her young age, she is wise, smart, and fights for what she believes (ie. justice, education, equality, etc.) i admire her!
