Great advice to be taken to heart.

“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”

                               -Louise Flory

I wish someone would have said this to me years ago. So now I'm telling you. Live life. Write your own story. Do what you believe in. Do what makes you happy.

 Wisdom by  Matthew Kimberley

A very wise friend of mine gave me some great words of advice yesterday.  He said to me, 

"Relax." 

This statement, as simple a message it is, is complex in meaning.  I've realized that it's important to keep all the little things in perspective.  Ask yourself, Is this really worth stressing over?  Does this even matter?  Will this matter in a month? A year? 5 years?  So don't forget to breathe and keep in mind what's truly important in life.

5 Things I learned this week

1.  Palio Dessert & Espresso Shop is the perfect spot to cozy up, read a good book, drink yummy coffee, & eat even yummier desserts.

3.  How to live well:      1. Serve others

                                    2. Do something of real value

                                    3. Continue to grow

                                                     Wisdom from Temple Grandin PH.D.
