“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert

Epiphany

You should always carry a set of headphones in your purse or backpack. You never know when you are going to need them. I have used mine daily. This is something new I have been doing... I know I know I'm way behind but hey, it happens. :-)

My Everything?

Here lately I have been thinking about what that means. There is a song that says "shes everything to me" by Brad Pasley and it got me evaluating my relationships. I have come to realize one of the worst feelings is when you love a person and they don't love you back. Also it is tough and uncomfortable when you are the one who can't love them back. I have recently had to tell someone this and I just couldn't find the right words to say. He told me he loved me and swore I loved him back. To this, I told him he was crazy and that I couldn't believe he even assumed something like this. It was only later on that day, when I was driving home, that the words came to me:

I love you, I do. I care about you in a way that's love. I love everything about you. I love the way you're so stubborn even when you know you're wrong. I love how strong in your faith you are and how you are set in your ways. You're just not the right everything for me.

So, in these few moments I realized that I did know what I wanted. That I wasn't just running from something I genuinely felt this way. This was divine intervention, I'm so thankful for that moment of wonderful fleeting thought.

Baisers et Les Femmes

(Kisses and Women)

Men,

      You all need to realize the power of a kiss. A kiss, as in one kiss... not a kiss that leads to some other expectation. As a woman we can be swept off our feet if you just put some effort into it. There is just something about a kiss that can be so perfect it will leave us women wanting more. To be with you that is, not MORE.... Anyways you have to power to take our breath away. We would really appreciate it if you would take full advantage of what this one amazing kiss has to offer. Don't go carelessly kissing the women you love or would like to have in a relationship. Calm yourselves down, pull her close, and kiss her sweetly. She should be yours from there. Just a word of advice.

Sincerely,

Women

Waggish Thoughts

Yesterday I decided that I would keep track of all my random thoughts of the day. Here is the list:
1. I love you.
2. I have been blessed with wonderful hair.
3. I want to open a daycare.
4. I want to play volleyball.
5. I want to get to know him.
6. I wonder how long my Christmas tree will stay up.
7. I have been blessed.
8. Why do I have school today.
9. I hate the cold weather.
10. Why am I always so hungry?
11. I have too much to do. I wonder if I can make it to the beach and back before Monday.


This is as far as I got. All of this is before noon... The best things in life aren't things, they're feelings :-)

Follow My Footprints

Just follow my footprints and you'll find me.

It may take a little searching.

You may have to ask for help along the way.

But you are my strength and my sweetness.

I love you.

I set off on a snow covered path. Alone.

There is only one set of footprints, so you must be able to find me.

Quirks led me into the woods off the beaten path.

The tracks are harder to see now and I'm feeling free

And you're on your way to find me.

You call out, I can't hear you.

So you call me.

I answer and I feel your smile.

Patience, I say, Just follow my footprints and you'll find me.

I love you.

I hear your voice calling my name.

In your voice I hear you thinking.

"Oh, you're doing it again,"

But you love it and you love me.

I stop walking so you can catch me.

I want to keep going,

And normally would.

But I'm finished being alone so I stop.

I turn to follow my footprints out to meet you.

But they are hard to see.

I know you are coming and I know you'll find me.

I know you won't give up because you love me.

You won't leave me; I'm deep in

And you'll follow my footprints

Until you find me.

You say my name. You found me.

I turn and you smile; you catch me.

We emerge from the woods together, hand in hand.

We are smiling, laughing, in love.

I love you. You save me.

Grape Juice and Good Friends

Tonight I had a girls night out with my friend Gabe. We went to dinner (Mexican food and Margaritas of course), came back to her apartment exchanged gifts and watched the movie Julie & Julia while drinking sparkling grape juice out of the new pink stemmed wine glasses I got her for her Christmas gift.

Yes, I said sparkling grape juice... unfortunately Elizabethtown is a dry county AND it is a Sunday so we had to settle for juice. The juice was a flop. It tasted like bubbly white grape juice with a bit of buttered popcorn... TERRIBLE. But the chocolate, movie and dinner were great so the buttered grape juice was just sent to the trash. At least it provided a great laugh.

Good times and great friends I would not trade them for the world! :-) Goodnight!
