the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desire
J.O.Y, its amazing how one three letter word can really make a difference in someones life. This has been popping into my head a lot these days. I think that everyone needs to have a little joy in their lives. Especially now a days when all we hear about is how bad the economy is, the war in Iraq, people getting killed. Its horrible to listen to day in and day out.
This past week was my choir concert and my entire choir decided to brighten christmas for some kids that were not of the best situations and probably would not have a christmas. This broke all of our hearts. No child should go with being able to celebrate christmas or whatever their holiday celebration maybe.
Knowing that these children we going to have a christmas brought warmth and joy to my heart.
I encourage you all to go out and find some joy, whatever that maybe. Where it be taking a break from studying for finales and hanging out with friends, giving back to the community in someway. No matter what it is, find it and hold onto it. You are all wonderful people and deserve to have joy not just during the holiday season, but everyday of the year!
XOXO

Sweet Potatoe Cassarole with Praline Topping
Hey guys, in the spirit of Thanksgiving I thought I would share one of my favorite things to eat. I look forward to it almost as much as the turkey and the stuffing....lol.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. I know that I did! :)
Preheat Oven to 350F
6-8 medium sweet potatoes
8oz crushed pineapple
salt
black pepper
1 egg
Prick potatoes and stick them in the microwave until firm to the touch but cooked. I would say You don't want them to get mushy. Then you take all ingredients listed above minus the pineapple and mash them all together with a potato masher in a bowl. Then once all is mixed together add in the pineapple.
Praline topping
1c flour
1c brown sugar
1/2c pecans
1 stick butter(melted)
Mix all ingredients to create crumble topping. Then once everything is mixed together place it on top of the sweet potato's. Bake for 30 minutes! :)

Audio Update :)
Heyy Guys,
I thought that I would try something new, I guess you could call it a podcast. I just think of it as a audio clip...haha. If you want to listen to the update all ya have to do is click the title link. You can either save it or open it with whatever program that it is you use. I dont have an actual player on my blog yet, like they do on SGP. Once I figure that out, doing podcast/audio clips will be much easier..haha.
Hope all of you have a wonderful week! :)

Clinical Day 1
Hey guys
This past Thursday the 1st of October, was my first clinical day at Holy Rediemer Hospital. We had to be there at 8 but usually clinical would start at 7.
Anyway, the girl I was driving with was really nice and lives on campus...lol. Which is good because as of right now I am without a car. That is a whole other blog. We got the hospital at about 10 to 8.
The hospital is so nice and clean. There are only single rooms. Which is a nice feature to have.
My clinical instructors name is Danielle Kohler. She graduated from Gwynedd 5 years ago. She is soo nice. My whole group thinks that she is amazing...lol. Most clinical instuctors we all heard were really mean, strict, and scary. Danielle or should I say Miss Kohler made us all feel that if we made a mistake or need help that we could, without being afraid of getting yelled at.She made us all feel very comfotable.
We filled out a ton of information once we got there. Gwynedd had a whole packet of info that we had to go through before we could do anything. Than once we were done that we went on a tour of the floor that we were going to be working on. I'm really excited but nervous at the same time. Next week we actually get real patients and I don't want to mess anything up. I don't know if I could live with myself if I critically hurt someone.
Once we were done the tour the day was over and it was time to leave.It was quite surprising with how fast the day went considering that we were just going through papers through most of the time at the hospital.
Wish me luck for next week and keep your fingers crossed..lol.

40 Days for Life
Heyy Ya'll,
I have found that I like addressing this as a diary/ journal. Makes me feel like I am talking to someone that I have know for years and we are old friends, silly I know but you all already know that...lol.
Recently, or should I say AGAIN( boy do I hate comcast/technology in general) have been set apart from the online community for about a week now and it has been killing me. Finally I am back online with some important information that I would like to share. Its called for 40 Days for Life. If any of you are not prolife I do not mean to offend, this is just something personally that I feel the need to blog about.
The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion in America.

If any of you are not prolife I do not mean to offend, this is just something personally that I feel the need to blog about.
40 Days for Life is community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:
Prayer and fasting
Constant vigil
Community outreach
Constant vigil
Community outreach
40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America.
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.
The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion in America.
This takes place from September 23- November 1st all over the United States. If you would like to get more involved clink the banner above for more information about whats going on in your area. Come on out and help us speak for those who can not speak for themselves.
Thank you for reading!

No respect for Kanye West!
The VMA's was on last night and something happened thatI felt the need to blog about. I'm not sure who all was watching it last night, but I'm sure sure its been seen on the news.
Last night Taylor Swift had won the first award of the night BEST FEMALE VIDEO. She was up on stage giving her speech and thanking everyone, when Kanye West decided to come up on the stage and interrupt her by saying
"Taylor I'm really happy for and I'll let you finish, but I just wanted to say that Beyonce made the best video ever!"
Beyonce had the look of absolute horror on her face and poor Taylor! She looked soo sad!
What right did he have to get up on stage and ruin her moment. Yes,Beyonce is an amazing artist but again she didn't win, no matter his opinion! Taylor didn't vote for herself to win the award, infact she was not even expecting to win. I'm glad that he got kicked out, that stunt made me lose all respect for him! You just don't do that to someone.
I found out later that Beyonce had won some award and she brought Taylor up on the stage and said "Have your moment!" I thought that was totally sweet of her, considering she was never in the wrong. I think that Kanye should write her a personal apology, apologizing for his behavior! That's the least he could do.
All I have left to say is Taylor you deserved that VMA and don't let what that jerk said get to you! :)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!
XOXO
