Just a heads up !

Hey my friends...
So working during Christmas at Starbucks makes me realize a few things...


#1. Don't drive if you don't have too.


#2. Crazy happens


#3. Be prepared to wait. Give yourself more time than you think you need. So you don't panic and have           uncontrollable road rage. Who me??? NOOOOOO.... ;)


#4. Be kind to old ladies and old men.


#5. Take time to talk to someone homeless. They have shown me things about love I would not know otherwise.


#6. Try something new! This year....I made chocolate with some new friends...and it was really fun!!!


#7. Love more. Complain less.


#8. Be thankful.


#9. Realize that this is the hardest time of the year for a large majority of the population. So extend your heart wherever possible. You never know who's day you may brighten with your smile! :D


#10.   DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. ESPECIALLY AFTER SAMPLING FREE ONES FROM THE LIQUOR STORE. You WILL get pulled over.
This happened to a unsuspecting soul/customer . Just because they are "samples"...does not mean you will not be over the limit!!




LOVE TO EVERYONE THIS SEASON. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HUG FROM ME!! xo

a penny is change too

Canadian currency can be super annoying. There must be a reason why they call it Loonies and Toonies. Let's just add some more weight to our already overflowing change purses. And you poor men! I guess that's what the sock drawer is for. That's where my Dad use to store his spare change :)
The value of change is based on the value we have placed on it. You can buy a lot more with a two dollar coin than a penny..obviously. But pennies do add up...over time. Pennies are change too.
So  taking your pennies and casually stuffing them in your ashtray perhaps saving them for a rainy day might not be a pointless idea. It just may bye you that extra cup of emergency coffee you need on that REALLY bad day when you left your wallet at home.
Change comes in small and larger amounts. But at the end of the day change is change. And over time...it adds up to something that just might brighten one bleak day!!
