I. LOVE. KATY PERRY.
True Story.
I listen to her music every time I run. It makes me feel empowered and run faster and I feel stronger and more attractive and girly all at once.
As a matter of fact, I listened to several of her songs on my 45 minute run today.
I got home from the gym and had just enough time to shower and change before meeting my mentor for dinner and a much needed chat. Then I had to volunteer.
This is where Katy Perry slowed me down. It took me 45 minutes to drive 3 miles. Because Katy Perry was having a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Which is dab-smack in between me and my destination.
I missed dinner with my mentor and had to go straight to volunteering. There was also some sort of premier happening on Hollywood Blvd and it was rush hour. I knew I had two choices.
A) Choose Anxiety. Get Mad. Cry. Etc.
B) Push those feelings deep deep down and breathe and CALM DOWN
Now the bright side is - they feed us. A lot of very talented people serve at my church. And tonight's meal was made by a chef.
It was grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I have a feeling that bread and cheese are probably at the top of the "foods-to-generally-avoid" list. But it was fancy. The soup was made from scratch and had lots of veggies. One of the volunteers also owned a bakery and brought a bajillion cupcakes and another volunteer brought peanut M&M's. I stayed strong and avoided the sweets by noshing on the baby carrots I brought with me and sipped on my chai tea.
Volunteering was good. I normally lead the group, but due to my random intense bout with anxiety this past week/weekend I requested to just be a regular volunteer.
