appreciate.

Just a little reminder...

Life is a journey of lessons learned. Sometimes we are dealt some difficult cards. But the outcome is a perfect reflection of our strength and of our purpose.

What would you do if you were given another chance.? If you saw your life being taken away and given back to you? It's a scary thought to even imagine... A lot of people quote "live like you were dying" or "live each day as if it were your last." I would like to say that I live each day like this, but the fact is, I am human and we all take most days for-granted.

It's one thing to have the courage to face your fears and pursue your dreams, but to truly take in each day and be so thankful that it is yours and that you are breathing clean air and walking on two legs... for some reason it is easier to forget to do each day.

Many times it takes a tragic or detrimental event for us to appreciate our lives and the things that we have in it. Send yourself a little reminder each day...or even every other day. Something that reminds you of how special this life is and how blessed you are. Because YOU are blessed. YOU are special. YOU are lucky. YOU are good. Appreciate it, embrace it, and share it.

post #2..."The shoutouts"

SOoooooOOOOOOOooooo I liked blogging so much the first time (5 minutes ago) that I just had to write another post. 

This post is dedicated to a few people that I thoroughly enjoy having in my life....

1. Steven James Madan (because he would kill me if he was in any other spot on the list)

Steven is like a cross between Regina George (bitch)...

Jenna Marbles (comedian)...

and thumper (a loyal friend)...

He will tell it exactly how it is with no filter, make you laugh until you almost wet yourself, and be there for you through thick and thin. 

We are lyfe partners.

We fight like we're married, laugh like we're besties, and love like we're sisters! Whether we are tearing up vegas like we own the place or drinking on the patio at Mama and Papa Owen's place, there is never a dull moment....only adventures!

Okay I'm tired so the list may continue, or my a.d.d. may kick in and my next post will be about something totally different. lol. 

GOODNIGHT!

I'm an official blogger.

Tonight is the night I pop my blogger cherry. I have to admit I'm very excited about it. 

I am starting this blog because not only do I love writing, but I am pretty sure I'm not the only person that would find my life interesting and somewhat entertaining. 

A few things about me...

I believe that life is what you make of it.

"Things turn out the best for those who make the best of the way things turn out."

               - Unknown

I believe that Audrey Hepburn is a legend and an incredible role model and her attitude and perspective should be shared for generations to come.

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."

            - Audrey Hepburn

I believe that there is good in everyone and everything.

"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."

            - Abraham Lincoln

I believe that every person has the potential to do great things.

"There is no passion to be found in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."

              - Nelson Mandela

Oh, and I love quotes....especially inspirational ones!

Inspiration is like my gasoline. They keep me going, motivate me and well...they inspire me...haha.

I have been inspired by so many people and things in my life. My parents, teachers, books, movies, songs, friends, animals, scenic views. They have influenced my passion for life, my ambition to chase dreams, and my drive to accomplish them.

I want to see the world.

I want to share my smile.

I want to make a difference.

I want to INSPIRE.

Not only do I want to share my story with people, but I want to inspire people the way that I have been inspired. I want to make people laugh, smile, cry (only happy tears though), and dance!

I love to dance. Dancing is like my drug. Nothing makes me feel more alive. 

Except maybe sex.... Sorry, too soon?

lol Welp, welcome to the life of Lo.
