(I’m going to preface this post with the fact I am not in a place to believe what I wrote here. I admittedly wrote it a few days ago when I was in more of my typical positive frame of mind. Today, I’m exhausted from people and think that a hermit lifestyle sounds appealing but … More Life’s Obstacles & Curve Balls
The subject line of this blog might indicate some kind of metaphorical allegory of some kind but nope, it’s really just about the library. My love of libraries specifically. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been excited about books. As a kid, there were exactly 3 occasions in a year that would make … More The Library
A friend of mine told me something a couple of years ago. He said I always seem to assume the worst about things. At the time, I defensively replied, “No I don’t!” but the more time that passes, the more I realize he was completely right. There wasn’t really a bigger, more shiny example of … More Bitter, Party of One
“Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and … More Inspiration of the Day – Taking Chances
Since I’ve mentioned this like 100 times, I’m sure you are all keenly aware of my problems with being vulnerable. I don’t really believe in New Years’ resolutions because they’re so temporary so when this new year started, I made more of what I like to think of as a life choice. I don’t really … More The Bouncing Ball of Vulnerability
Why Accepting Your Imperfections is a Gift to the World 2012 and 2013 have had some definite rough points for me, but they have also been 2 of the greatest years of my entire life. A large part of that is because of Tiny Buddha; what I’ve learned from it, how much it’s allowed me … More Why Accepting Your Imperfections is a Gift to the World
I mentioned in an earlier post about some insanely fantastic wisdom Susan Sarandon shared on an episode of Oprah’s Lifeclass. She essentially said that it’s not the victories in life that we learn and grow from, it’s the mistakes. I’ve talked about my thoughts on everything happening for a reason, making mistakes, and my belief … More Life’s Little Victories (and Mistakes)
So I just finished watching Oprah’s Lifeclass with Susan Sarandon and I had the overwhelming compulsion to write (I love it when that happens!). She’s always been one of my favorite actresses and I’ve greatly admired her stance on political and human rights issues but after watching this I realized just what an incredibly intelligent and … More The Failure Perspective
So as my last entry indicated, I’ve been struggling with this idea of balance in my life lately…with trying to find the in-between. I guess it’s still a part of that wanting to have all the answers and be “perfect” that I’m working on letting go of. I read a quote on someone’s Facebook this … More Balancing Act
So after I posted the last blog something both ironic and kind of terrible happened. Someone I was interested in didn’t want to date me because I have a disability. Yes, he actually said that. It’s easy to write a blog about things and write about how you want to feel or plan to feel … More The Learning Curve II
