Gosh, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been up to a lot of
exciting stuff lately, and it’s all coming together to shape my future – where
I want to live, what I want to do, and how I’m going to do it. To sum up the
last several months, I’ve been getting more active in the local community here
in Phoenix in a couple of ways:
- I started volunteering at Mesa’s Garden Pool. Check them
out by following the link! This was a huge step for me career-wise, as I am not only
helping others in the community by volunteering there, but I’m also learning a
ton about gardening, urban farming, and sustainability.
- I applied to be a part of the collaboration team for the
startup business Delighted By Dessert Hummus. I tried Mackenzie’s amazing
hummus about a year ago when she was still in Phoenix selling at farmers’
markets. She was the absolute sweetest person to talk to, and her business and mission to "spread your glitter" reflects that. Now, she’s expanded her business, and her hummus is in stores on the
east coast. I’ve gotten the awesome privilege to be a part of their ambassador
program – though they aren’t in AZ yet
(no hummus parties til then!), I have the opportunity to learn from successful like-minded
entrepreneurs who incorporate care for people and the planet into their
business models.
- It’s swim season for Special Olympics again – probably one
of my favorite parts of the year. The energy and enthusiasm these athletes have
is absolutely amazing. Their openness and eagerness to express love, gratitude,
and genuine excitement is contagious and so inspiring to me to be open to
others. I always have a blast coaching them, and I can’t wait to see the fun
that this season brings.
