A light in the dark. “You’re going to discover that conversations are best at 4 am The heavier the eyelids, the sincerer the words. Those are the talks you’ll remember. It’s okay not to know the answer & silence is not awkward. It’s shared, so share it more often than not.” Jeff Stuckel & I believe [...]

A beautiful number. The light at the end of this tunnel. The calm after the storm. The number of days I will have off in July. I tend to hoard my vacation days, liked a prized possession, only taking off the bare minimum & usually only when I’m going out of town. So, yesterday, when I [...]

So, I missed my fourth month countdown post. Mostly due to the fact that I was up to my eyeballs in wedding craziness goodness. & here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to this month, just to show you that I’m not lying! On the agenda from last month: Consult with at least 2 [...]

I stumbled upon a quote today that you all might like to hear. (& maybe even a few men out there) “Make a change because you love your body, not because you hate it.” Because you love your body. How’s that for a new concept. But it’s a good one.

a little sunday inspiration

I found this on this blog. It might be a little cheesy, but it might also be just what you needed to hear. Especially on a Sunday evening, as we’re gearing up for Monday morning. I know I can always use a reminder. http://www.marcandangel.com/2011/08/30/12-things-happy-people-do-differently/ Here’s to another week! (But seriously, where the hell did this weekend [...]

Posted in advice, decisions, growth, lessons, wedding on December 5, 2011 | 1 Comment »
First of all, let me just say that I had no idea that’s how prerogative was spelled. All this time, I’ve been saying it like PEROGATIVE. Whoopsie. But it is a girl’s prerogative to change her mind, is it not? Maybe not. But I’ll take it this time around. You see, back in July, I chose [...]
