On March 27, 2010 between the hour of 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. people around the world, including team thinkGood turned their lights out for the third annual “Earth Hour”.
The funny thing about that Saturday was the fact that the ladies and I had made plans to go out that evening to celebrate a few birthdays. We hardly ever venture into the downtown core anymore for the typical Saturday night party, but this party was anything but typical and we were up for celebrating. How do the two relate you might ask? Well 8:30- 9:30 p.m. is pretty much prime prep time for a night out on the town, but we were definitely up for the challenge! How did we accomplish this?…well it’s all about planning ahead and being proactive! I made sure that my outfit and accessories were already chosen and ready to go, made all my necessary phone calls, bbms, sms text messages etc., and then I was ready for “shut down”!
I spent that hour with family and friends that had come over to visit. Although I might have been disconnected from the world, I used that opportunity to reconnect with the people in my life who matter the most. As the hour came to and end, and as I scurried off to finish getting ready, I reflected on how great it felt to invest in my family instead of my hydro bill!
Was it a success? You be the judge! Attached are some pictures from the night….not the best quality but the evidence speaks for itself!
Do Good, Feel Good, Live Good
