First off, I'd like to start off by saying if you email me and I don't email you back - I'm sorry its in NO way a reflection to how I feel its just I'd rather be running around than sitting at home writing emails ALL day.. THIS blog site was my excuse so I didn't have to send out SO many emails updating people on my life.. and I know I'm horrible at updating this site as well.. BUT then again I'd rather be out in the world than sitting at home writing a blog.. lol :)
Lets see here, A LOT has been happening in my life the last couple of days...
hmmm.... I don't even know where to start -
My name was said in the weekly update on Starbucks Newsletter - it was something along the lines of 'Dana inspires the management' (there was A LOT more... BUT i don't rememeber.. lol) my DM also said something along the lines of I'm really helping my store with bring the excitement of the US market over here... and he cant wait to see me as a Shift...
My manager Thomas and I start training on Monday for me to become a shift :) my goals as a shift will be - to make the enviroment fun and exciting - that was one thing when I was working with certain shifts and how they just made the day fun rather than stressful - because it is JUST COFFEE! - i want my barista to fully know they can trust me in.. and that is why I'm starting to learn ALL of my stuff now because I want them to know they can fall on me for anything and i'd be there to catch them... - i don't ever want to be known as a bossy shift HOWEVER my nickname growing up was 'bossy' so eek!! lol... I know I will have things to work on once I take on the role as Shift BUT i will also being growing and learning therefore it will be good for me... I was thinking today that I am proud of myself - I told myself this is what I want to do and well... Its happening.. and I just want EVERYONE to know if you believe in something DO IT! only you can hold yourself back from your dreams...
I was also thinking something that I've always wanted since I was little was to be an FBI agent.. and I was just thinking about what steps I need to start taking to do this... and as of right now I don't know.. and well I was talking to Stevie my AssisitManger and well he was like Dayna I see you working for Starbucks BUT behind the scene.. you have so much passion for others and I can see you doing something for Starbucks to help... and I was like weird I was kinda thinking the same thing.. he also said he could see me becoming an assisitmanager too.. (I was like what!!? ME!? ah!) lol... and he was like yes you have it in you... and I was like yeah BUT i'd never want to be a Store Manger.. and he was like no you aren't mean enough to do that role... lol...
Last night- My friend Heather was in a show 'Ah I can't rememeber the NAME!...' (ummm I think it was something to do about Wars..) ummm yeah I don't rememeber the name! umm sorry! lol.. it was a really good play.. I loved the enviroment for the play it was in a schools play area OUTSIDE but it wasREALLY cool because they had a building they used that had 4 levels so the play was ALL over the place.. it was really nice! :)
I have been doing A LOT of thinking the last couple of days and I've been doing a lot of debating as well... I have decided that my one thing in life is to do what makes me happy and stop worrying so much of what others think.. and well thats so hard to do especially when I have a friend that believes you should live a certain way because of what a book says.. don't get me wrong I believe in Jesus and I believe in Heaven and Hell... BUT I also believe you should live your life the way you want to live it and NOT just by the Bible... This has been a hard thing for me for some time.. I curse - therefore I'm a sinner - I don't pray before every meal - does that make me a sinner? - I hardly ever pray - is that wrong? - I don't know... BUT i DO know that I believe in Jesus and I tell him daily I love him and I'm thankful to be here.. I don't like it when Christians say one thing and do another thing... and that is why I won't ever tell you to do something because of the Bible... Because I DONT! - I don't like when Christians live a certian way but act a different way behind close doors.. I am me and what you see is what you get.. ask me and I will tell you... I may sound REALLY cowardly right now.. BUT the thing is I really want people to live their life for themselves... and stop living it for others.. this is something I've been doing for sometimes...
I was in a relationship with someone and when I stopped loving them - I stayed in it because I thought I couldn't do better and I'd rather stay in the relationship and be unhappy than say I've had enough I'm moving on...I didn't want to leave HIM alone... I didn't want to HURT him... I didn't want to make him SAD.. it took him cheating on me for me to FINALLY say I'm done... why is it that people stay in BAD relationships for the other person? what does it take for someone to realize how AMAZING they are and should put their energy towards someone that actually desires their time and energy! I really hate seeing my friends not happy because of a partner BUT sometimes you just have to sit on the sideline and hope for the best... I even see my friends in relationships with people they'd never be with JUST because they want to be inthe 'relationship'.. WHY DO PEOPLE LOWER THEIR STANDARDS FOR OTHERS!!?!? IT just doesn't make sense...
In the end... I wish people would just live their life for themselves and be happy with who they are- you only have one life... therefore - LIVE IT!!!
I want to add to this blog that being placed in a different enviorment with different people REALLY gets your mind thinking and well.. I'm sorry if I'm too direct or blunt.. BUT I've always been the one to just keep my mouth shut and always wish I could do more for myself... BUT i never do... therefore - BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE -
LOVE always,
