Inspiration item number one: AIDS Walk NY 2013.
Before delving into the inspiration of our universe currently, I'm going to share from my own life about the inspiration of this walk. From carting stands up Manhattan streets, to visiting Duane Reade stores, to fielding questions in the office as a receptionist, to the Day of the Event, it was an honor to be a part of this campaign for the last few months.
On May 16, 2013, 30,000 people gathered in Central Park and trekked willingly through pouring rain to raise money for direct services for those living with HIV and AIDS.
Among our special guests was Alex Newell, from Glee, whose song spoke to the power of this walk:
People gathered from all over the area, bringing together a vibrant community of support (which was appropriate, considering the theme of "community"!).
And then, hours later, the results were revealed:

Not bad, eh?
I am so proud to have been a part of this campaign.

Okay, now on to the rest of the day! I'll keep you posted. <3
Cheers,
