Do you ever wonder how you can make an impact on the world? I always wondered this growing up. As I got older, I had such a hard time figuring it all out and trying to learn how NOT to be selfish.
In my early twenties, I got involved with several organizations. I volunteered for "Rock The Vote" because I cared about people having a say. I did the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3day Walk because I knew someone who had breast cancer and saw her through all the ups and downs. I volunteered as an election judge in 2008 because I felt very empowered by the way my country was changing.
Now that I am almost 30, I have learned a lot about what it really takes to make an impact on the world, whether, its big or small. Its the little things. You can make someone smile, you can help a neighbor, hold a door, share your knowledge and feel (something).
You can start a chain reaction by all the little things you do. Make someone's day and pass a long your positivity.

What inspired me to blog about my hick life...
One afternoon, I was lucky enough to have happy hour with my good friend Angie aka @mplsmaven. We got to talking about how much I missed being in the city. I was a total convert to the city life. But when my husband wanted to move back to our home town, I gave in. I also soon realized, this was permanent.
During our happy hour Angie asked me how I handle dealing with living in HTOWN when I love the city so much. (APPRECIATION FOR HASTINGS=HTOWN)
That really got me thinking. I kept thinking "wow! This is for life". My heart started beating really fast..I had never really even thought about it that much.
I was lucky enough to be in the city for many years and I loved it. I loved my loft style apartment in St. Paul and my place in S. Mpls. I miss being close to all of the action.
I am still am very much a city girl. I still have that mentality. I get so worked up every chance I have to get up that way. This blog is about the mental battle being a city girl in my hick home town. Enjoy!
