The Girl Effect

In doing research for a job interview, I came across this video.  Do me a favor and watch it because it will give you chills.  And make you want to change the world in the smallest but most powerful way.  That's worth three minutes, right?

Firsts

From autumn...

 to winter...

Yesterday was the first snow here in DC, and I was lucky enough to enjoy the scene sitting by my window with a steaming cup of peppermint tea.  Tiny flurries danced down from the clouds and the craze of the city seemed to pause for a few minutes.  Isn't is strange how snow has that effect?  As if a soft silence sweeps in and makes everyone take a deep breath.  Sigh.  Even though I may complain of the frigid temperatures sometimes, I secretly love bundling up and transporting the coziness from home to wherever I go that day.  Tis the season!

Happy weekend everyone!
