And Start A Revolution…

So Danielle introduced me to Boom Boom Cards. They are really great! Boom Boom Cards are just cards that have a random act of kindness on them to do, it’s like a challenge or secret mission that just help you spread the love and make the world a better place. I loved the idea so much that I bought my own deck (okay, okay!! My mom bought them… THANKS MOM!). So I have had these cards for awhile and planned on finishing the revolution before school ended, but that didn’t happen so now I will start again and actually accomplish some of the cards. So, here goes!
Card # 20:
Leave a note of praise, encouragement, or love for someone
to find in an unexpected place
.
I couldn’t decide on who to do this for because there are so many people that I should thank, so many people I love so much, and so many people that could use some encouragement. I feel like I need to work harder on this one and just let people know how I am feeling and also let people know I care and am right behind them to encourage them to the end. However, I decided to write this one to my boyfriend, Christian, and leave it on his bed so he could find it when he was going to bed that night. I don’t know if any of you at home caught the tension between the 2 of us in our last visit home but this hasn’t been the best week for the two of us. There has been so much lately that bugs me about him and the littlest things got on my nerves so I decided to just write him a little note to let him know how much a love and appreciate him. I also told him in the note that no matter what happened in our lives he has made a difference in my life and left “a hand print on my heart”.
I don’t know if this affected him at all, but I know this was such an amazing experience for me, it helped me to remember what I love about our relationship. Although there is so much that I wish I could change, or how I some days wish it was all different, this relationship is so good for me. For right now he is the best thing for me, and although I’m not sure that this will be FOREVER (because that’s a long time and why start now?), I am glad that he is my now.
I feel like if I and others did this more often there would be a lot less hate in the world, because it helps us all to find the good in each other and be there for everyone.
So Boom Boom, I appreciate you…. now time for me to pass it on.

I think I need some of these cards! I am totally going to google them.

Good luck with the guy thing. Dating is hard and it is a tough and painful thing to decide where the relationship is going to lead. But I promise it's worth it all when you end up with the perfect guy for you....FOREVER. Hugs!

(P.S. It doesn't seem very long ago that we were up at two in the morning laughing hysterically at camp. I have been thinking about it because I am our ward's camp cook this year and I am making hawaiian haystacks in your honor. :) )

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
