“The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.” ~ Orison Swett Marden
Lent Day 9: I went to an Art Opening with my friend and her mother, we carpooled together. It was really nice to support local artist, and go somewhere I've never been before. I also had drinks afterwards with my friend (w/out her mother), and I realized something very important. No matter how my life has turned out, I am happy and blessed. Even if the relationship that I was in which brought me here to Rochester, MN is over; I have experienced amazing moments, met wonderful people, and have created a community I am proud to be part of. My life is pretty awesome, and I am thankful to my ex-partner, for bringing me here.
Lent Day 10: I basically had a meeting in the afternoon -- on a Saturday, mind you -- to talk about future opportunities for GLCS and what we can do to bring awareness in defeating the upcoming MN anti-marriage amendment. I believe that the best things come out of collaboration and respecting other peoples thoughts, ideas, and enthusiasm. In the words of Margaret Mead, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
