R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"
Week of January 19th, 2014
______________________________________________________________________________________________
1. THREE Year Anniversary
This past Friday night we had an amazing time gathering with Rsquared friends and celebrating our three year anniversary! The night started out with the Leadership Team sharing the history of Rsquared and watching the 2011, 2012, and new 2013 video. From there, we unveiled the 2014 TSHIRT design on a cake!!! The design was put together by the one and only, Tyler Neyens :) To close out the night, we shared Domino's Pizza, delicious blue and neon green cake, and watched the movie Peaceful Warrior. I wanted to share a quote that spoke to me from the movie:
"There is no need to search; achievement leads to nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor and change. There is no problem, never was, and never will be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns, and relax into the world. No need to resist life, just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else, too! It's all the marvelous Play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don't worry, just be happy. You are already free!"
Especially this past week, school started and I began the wonderful balance of life, school, work, family, friends, did I mention life? So often I get caught up living in the past or the future, but this past year I learned I need to take a step back and focus on the now, this present moment that God has blessed me with. I often try to think of what God's purpose is for my life and what He wants me to be doing and a thousand other thoughts that fly through my mind, but after talking with a professor at school I recently realized, God's purpose for us is the Now, I am supposed to be sitting at my desk at 8:12PM typing the GIG Alert. If you are reading this, God's purpose is for you to be reading the GIG Alert :) This is a new idea I'm continuing to explore, but Peaceful Warrior helped bring the idea to life and remind me that no matter what life/culture/the world may throw at us, we can live in the now, let go of our ego/mind, and be at peace.
Have a SUPER fantastic start to your week! Oh, and be sure to check out the attached group picture and picture of our cake with the 2014 TSHIRT design!

Quote of the Week:
Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. -Martin Luther King Jr
