"I get by with a little help from my friends..."

I am truly blessed to be surrounded by amazing people in my life. Whether it's friends from swimming, college, church, or nursing school...there are people that motivate me everyday.

One person, in particular, comes to mind toda. My friend Sara from school. She remains so kind and thoughtful, despite all of the stress from class, clinicals, and attempting to have a life with friends and church. She will call me to check in on me, actually wanting to know how life is....not just the typical, "how are ya?" and then people turn around before you answer. She even remembered how much I love elephants...and bought me this excellent journal from The Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company.

















That's not the exact journal she gave me..but you get the picture. Believe it or not, the entire book (cover and all) is made of elephant poo poo. Obviously, washed, boiled and recycled...mixed with a little bit of pineapple, too! The Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company makes pretty much everything a normal stationary company makes: journals, notebooks, stationary, even picture frames and photo albums! The picture frames are very cute...Tomas gave me one for graduation.











The product is not only good for the environment, but also helps protect the elephants!

I recommend you check out the website, but if you're still not convinced...here's their purpose:

Products With a Purpose

Our purpose is to successfully sell our goods in order to complete a truly creative sustainable cycle:

where raw materials with little other use are utilized to make a useful and functional product all the while providing jobs and opportunity along the way and ultimately selling our goods at a profit from which a portion is directed to a worthwhile cause: elephant welfare and conservation.




I am so thankful that I have people, like Sara, in my life...she brings a smile to my face every day...and so do all of you.
