hi friends. i get lots of questions about what i do and my story and thought i would share a bit. i love to share actually and open up easily which often times even surprises me. i thought i would share a bit about me here since it's a platform where you can share lots of information.
i live in seattle washington. i work monday through friday. its a 9am-5pm type job although its incredibly flexible and im thankful for that. i work at a large non profit in agriculture helping smallholder farmers in africa and india. i walk to work, also incredibly thankful for that. i really think life is too short to spend hours in the car commuting to work. for now im pretty spoiled. one day i will have to move further away from my job im just sure of it and thats okay but now im enjoying the walk.
q: what i love most about my job.
a. when i leave work i feel good about the work ive done and that its contributing to making the world a better place. i often forget that my job helps put food on people's plates and helps people live better lives. but when i take a moment to think about this im in awe and my heart is happy. its a pretty cool feeling. and i cant imagine doing anything else. time on earth is limited and valuable and ive always wanted a job that would allow me to do good in the world, and leave a footprint. we spend so much of our time working, we might as well be working for something we are passionate about.
q: what my plan is.
a: its not that i dont think about the future because i do. im human and just like everyone else i worry about the future from time to time. but in terms of my job the honest answer is i dont know. in past jobs i had an answer to this question but in my current job i dont. im still searching for this and im actually okay with that for now.
q: why i wake up and want to go to work?
a. i believe all lives have equal value and i want to contribute to making the world a better a place to live in for all. i wake up for the farmers in india and africa. the farmers are "my boss" they drive my work. they make the tough days worth it. they are the very reason i go to work each morning.
ive been dating the most wonderful man and i will share lots more about him and our story next tuesday on "tuesday tell all" so stay tuned for that. ;)
i have 2 cats. ive had them for 14 years. they are brother and sister and love each other. toby (i named him after my grandma) and moo (she was the runt of the litter and she is a little round cat with a big tummy). i love them beyond words. im a big animal fan, you have no idea! i use to work for a company where you could bring your pet to work and it was trouble. i couldn't get anything done with so many cuties around me. im the kind of girl who stops everything when a dog walks by. i cry when the humane society commercials come on at the gym. im the girl bawling on the elliptical machine. i cant help it.! my goal is to raise 10k by December 2014 for the seattle animal shelter. if you have any fundraising ideas i would love to hear from you. for now my fingers are crossed that my 2 cats could some how live forever....
in my free time i run, lift weights, hike, walk, date john, read books, instagram, learn photography, spend time with family, try to cook, eat lots, watch netflix (probably too much) text my parents, make up songs with john and sing terribly, clean, organize, pray, take myself on jenna dates, study fashion trends and eat lots of cheese. (i am sure you have heard me say that before but its really my favorite thing ever) i will share more on my hobbies and interests and go to spots in seattle in a future post but this is a glimpse of who i am and what im about. all in all im a pretty simple person and live a pretty simple life and i like it that way. i do love fashion and appreciate personal style. i think all styles rock and promote being "you" because you are cool! i tend to post lots of photos on my instagram of clothing items etc. i love to shop and style. i use to work in the fashion industry and loved the creativity that came with it. one day my instagram will be filled with wedding photos and baby photos and maybe even house photos but for now it clothes and coffee hehe take a look @peubird
until next tuesday.... xoxo
