The Rise of Frustration

My non-profit has drained me of all peace and serenity. I've asked my contact numerous times to email the information needed for my press kit and I'm still sitting here empty-handed. I always find myself on edge nearing the end of the semester. I know I'll find a way to work through my current disturbances. This is the worst problem I have going on in my life right now. On the side of optimism, what a great high-class problem to have. Please universe, motivate my non-profit to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations.

The Grind

I am absolutely certain that it is my destiny to be working with Therapetics of Tulsa. I met with them yesterday and it went great. The creative brief assignment has proved to be anything, but stressful. I've enjoyed both interviews with them so far. Everyone I've met has a kindheartedness about them. Therapetics is devoted to serving it's clients and that selfless spirit of love and service shines through everyone I've met there. Meeting with my non-profit has been the bright spot of my week. I left there Tuesday feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I find myself completely moved by people striving to make this world a better place. The feeling of a loving kindness embraced me and I feel privileged to have had such a profound experience. Thank you universe for filling my life with such wonderful goodness.

Bliss

I'm loving my non-profit organization. From setting up the interview to the actual face-to-face, I was welcomed with kindness and sincerity. Susan from Therapetics has such an inviting presence. Interviewing her felt natural and organic. I had the opportunity to view an actual training session. I am blown away by what those dogs are capable of doing as well as the time and energy that goes into training a service dog. Excitement and enthusiasm are my two new bffs. If only I could find a way to channel the energy and positivity from persuasive writing into graphic design.

Contentment

The overwhelming feeling of doom started to creep on me after finding out what comprises our press kits as well as the effort that will need to go into them. Like most things, I tend to instantly direct my focus and attention to the inconveniences they will be to me and my life. After a good, wholesome evening of thought and reflection accompanied by a mean cycle of R.E.M. sleep, I find myself content and confident in my abilities to successfully complete this assignment. I had to interview people from different organizations in previous classes and I remember how much I enjoyed getting to meet new people, especially those who are enthusiastic and passionate about their professions. Persuasive writing is anything but monotonous and for that I'm ever so grateful. I'm trying to embrace all of the beauty on the long road of learning.

Strategic Fan Pages

So having just finished my first attempt at my proposed strategy for my Fan Page, I realized the impact that social media can have, not only on a person, but on a business. Fan pages are an easy way to utilize FREE advertising. Most of you may already be well aware of this, but for a social media baby such as myself, I am blown away. I have a yearning to learn more about social media. Namaste!

Yay for Fanpages!!

I feel like a first grader trying to learn his ABCs. I will be honest, I actually dislike Facebook more after struggling with this assignment. I'm trying my best to see the good in Facebook and I will continue to ask the universe for open-mindedness in the technological sense.

Curiosity

Reflecting back to the beginning of this semester, my attitude was extremely negative. I thought another dreadful writing class= lots of monotonous, busy work. My experience thus far is anything but dreadful. I  have become accustomed to living a life of simplicity in the technological sense. I'd rather spend time running, working out or doing yoga rather than behind the screen of a computer. I have noticed a disconnection between myself and others due to my lack of interest in technology. Amanda Clinton along with her persistent persuasiveness is starting to alter my perception on technology. I will say that a mention of Facebook or Twitter still makes me cringe, but like the changing winds of Autumn, I find myself becoming less resistant to technology and more open minded to the infinite possibilities.
