Today is Awesome!

Hello everyone!

Today is Awesome day is approaching fast!

I’m going to post a video every day starting today, counting down the

days until Today is Awesome Day.

Today is Awesome Day shirts are available for purchase!

Shirts are $10 and are available in small, medium, and large.

If you would like one, just send me an e-mail at: todayisawesomeemail@gmail.com

I have already ordered the shirts, so sizes are reserved on a first

come, first serve basis.

A quick update that I think needs noting in the “Today is Awesome” project.

Today is Awesome is designed to inspire people to love their life, but

is also here to serve as a base for people to talk about difficulties

they have in transforming their day into an awesome one.

If you ever need someone to listen to your day, shoot me an e-mail.  :)

At the beginning of my senior year of high school, I began making

1,000 paper cranes.  I am now over halfway through with my project!

I’ll keep you updated as I get closer to the end of my project.

Sometimes unexpected situations are thrown your way.  Last week, I

found out that a very close family friend had had a stroke and was in

a coma.  Later that week, I found out that he had peacefully passed

away.

I am a stand for awesomeness, and I believe that every situation

provides an opportunity.  Therefore, when I attended the funeral this

past Friday, April 27, I used it as an opportunity to honor a

grandfather figure in my life.  My grandfather, my Jiddu, passed away

when I was 4.  This was his good friend.  I honored my grandfather by

going and showing my respect to an amazing family friend.

Of course I cried, and when through other phases that people feel when

a death occurs, but I decided to transform my funeral experience from

miserable, to honorable.

I hope you all have an awesome Friday!

Every day is as awesome as you make it, and today is awesome!
