About Me
- Party Girl
- I am perpetually perky always optimistic yet slightly cynical. I am incredibly honest. I am honest, open, judgment free, and most importantly - honest. I'm a dork. I'm creative. I love trivia. I always have gum. I talk with my hands. I make faces at people. I'm sarcastic as hell. I adore vodka. And Beer. And wine. If it's fermented, I am probably a fan. I believe in laughing as often as possible. I am the girl next door. I am quick with a wink and a smile and a good laugh. Don't be hateful. This is my world, you're just visiting. I appreciate you stopping by.

That was a nice story, and so true. I like to refer to how I treat others as the "ripple effect". Just a tiny drop of water can cause lots of ripples. A word or deed can cause a lot of good or harm to one or many people without each of us ever knowing the result. We should all think about that. I do a lot, especially after I do something I regret.
Great story. It's often the little comments or actions that make such huge impacts. I can't count the number of times people I don't even know have said something that utterly changed my life.
Education is key. Not necessarily what you learn in the class, but more about what you learn about yourself. Thanks for sharing this inspirational story.
The seemingly most insignificant actions in life often yield the greatest results.
Oops. I wrote this before I noticed that Dirty Bunny and Karl both conveyed the same idea. Oh well. It's true and worth mentioning a third time.
Totally agree..great story :)
The little things, good or bad, can have the most impact on someone throughout their day.
An email, a phone call, a smile, a "Hey how's it going?" can mean the world to someone.
A pat or rub on the back, literally, the touch of another human being, just as a, 'hey.'
Some people go days without feeling the touch of another person. I don't mean sex, either. I mean, a touch on the shoulder, hand, back, knee....anything.
With my job I try to really talk to people and ask how they are doing. Come up behind them and rub or at their shoulder/back and see how their stress level is, or just pull up a chair, push everything else aside and have a five minute conversation with them. To really try and connect.
I also believe in the, "..and you?" part of conversation. I know for me, sometimes that's all I'm looking for.
