The Sun Is Up

HEY YOU. 

Yes, you.

 Stop being unhappy with yourself.

 You are perfect. 

Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people like you as much as they like someone else. 

Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you.

 Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. 

Love them.

 Without those things, you wouldn’t be you and why would you want to be anyone else? 

Be confident with who you are. 

Smile.

 It’ll draw people in.

 If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, then that’s their problem. 

My happiness will not depend on others anymore....

I’m happy because I love who I am.

 I love my flaws.

 I love my imperfections.

 They make me “me.” 

And “me” is pretty amazing.

Sugar Water

I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. 

And I don’t want to get to the end,

 or even tomorrow, 

& realize that my life is a collection of 
meetings 
& grocery bags 
& errands 
& receipts
& dirty dishes.
blah.

 I want to...
eat ice cream. 
 sing out loud in the car with the windows down. 
 wear pink shoes.
 stay up all night laughing. 
paint my nails the exact color of the sky right now.
sleep hard on clean cold white sheets. 

go to a party and dance like a fool  

read books so good they make me jump up and down.


 & everyday I want to make God happy that he gave life to someone who loves it.

& ALOT of rambling 

I've been blogging for a little or a year now. 

And for those of you who have followed me since the beginning you know there is one topic that consumes most of my posts

LOVE

Now when I blog, I blog for me. To vent and get things out. I don't do it to see how many followers I get and I've turned down the opportunity to make money on my blog because that's not what motivated me to start it. 

It's simply for me.

That being said it always surprises me when I find out people actually are reading my nonsense.

And it wasn't until yesterday that I learned the impact that my blog has had.

On February 8th, I wrote Catch Me Darling, a more personal love post that to this day still rings true in my own love life.

Yesterday I was introduced to a song that my friend Ruthie from school wrote and composed. It's such a beautiful creation, but even more then that it means the world to me because it was inspired by my nonsensical rambling.

I guess you never really know how much you can silently impact the world and those in it.


Check out her blog. Such an incredible person and singer.

My Best Man

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TRIGGER!

Nine years ago today my life was blessed with this sweet little ball of fur. I love this little man more then anything! He's my baby, and I'm so lucky to have the best dog as my best friend.

And come on how freaking cute is he. Thanks for always being there!

LOVE YOU BOY!

Who Runs the World

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do.

In The Eye of The Beholder

 Real beauty is being aware of yourself and honest about who you are. 

When you’re comfortable in your own skin, you look beautiful on the outside, regardless of how many flaws you have.

 My flaws?

 I break out. My hair usually doesn't lay perfectly. I have a lazy eye. I don't have the body of a model.

 But all of that is just being human.

[a wise woman told me]:

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that’s the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows; the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years

You're beautiful.

 Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
