What a long week! It started off with some bad news regarding the venue of July 24th event. So while we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off, we were also finishing up the final touches for Lobby Day. Then Tuesday morning we were up bright and early to ride out with our van of concerned citizens at 6:30 A.M. I’ve never gone to Lobby Day and so it was certainly a new experience for me. We met with Legislators and it was exciting to see how certain processes go.

After Lobby Day, it seemed as though Alannah and I were traveling all around Charlotte to fix our venue fiasco. At first it looked like their was no such luck… until today. We decided to try a stretch this morning and now it looks like everything is working out. And now it even looks like it’s working out even better than it would have. That just shows you that when you plan something amazing and the only thing that goes wrong is something small, you have no choice but to fix it. If you don’t, the failure is your fault.

We met with Queens University on Friday; thumbs up! We met with the Latin American Coalition on Saturday; double thumbs!

Until next blog…

Much love, peace, & happiness <3
