You can always tell who the strong women are.





You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building each other up, instead of tearing each other down.

Real friends





As we go through life, we start to understand that it's not important to have a lot of friends. What truly matters is that we have real friends.

Be with someone who makes the sun shine a little brighter.





Be with someone who will watch your favorite movies with you.

Be with someone who makes you laugh until your stomach hurts.

Be with someone who makes you tea when you�re sick or feeling down.

Be with someone who makes the sun shine a little brighter.

Be with someone who makes you want to be a better person.

Be with someone who enhances your life.

Love Message | I want to kiss you all day everyday.





I want to kiss you all day everyday. I want to hold your hand when we go walking. I love looking into your eyes as you look into mine. I smile every time I see you smile. My god I�m so in love with you. Each moment spent with you means everything to me. I hate when I�m away from you. I love the feeling I get when you wrap your arms around me and I like how you smile when I pull you closer.

You know you really miss someone when..





You know you really miss someone when you crave something so simple such as the sound of their voice.

I will never crawl to you.





I will never crawl to you. I will never buckle my knees for you or for anyone else. I will never give you more than the roll of my eyes, the hard turn of my back, like a door being slammed, a book being closed after the last disappointing chapter.


I've said it a million times and my voice will never waiver as I say it a million more. I have given you all that I have. You're not getting the

Tell me, How many times have you lost your voice to someone who isn't even listening?~Kat Savage

Don�t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk.








Don�t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don�t lose yourself at happy hour, but don�t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal. Now is your time. Walk closely with people you

I have always liked my people a bit damaged.






I have always liked my people a bit damaged. A bit rough around the edges. A bit difficult to stereotype. A bit stranger than the normal crowd. I like people whose eyes tell stories and whose smiles have fought through wars. If you�re perfect, chances are, we aren�t going to get on. If you�re one of the cool kids, chances are, you won�t like me. You see, what I want is authentic. What I want

Women Who Hurt Other Women






There are women who make other women feel awful because of their own insecurities. They practice cliquishness and alienation. They choose to belittle and slut shame and gossip and practice passive aggressions when they should be looking at their own pettiness and understanding where it stems from. To these women, I say, ladies, isn�t it bad enough that there are men out there that are a very

Sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending





But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe

The Three Type Of People That You'll Fall In Love With In Your Life.







We Only Fall in Love with 3 People in Our Lifetime�Each One for a Specific Reason.

1. Often our first is when we are young, in high school even. It's the idealistic love�the one that seems like the fairytales we read as children.

This is the love that appeals to what we should be doing for society's sake�and probably our families. We enter into it with the belief that this will be our

If I ever decide to give up on you...





If I ever decide to give up on you, understand how much that took out of me. I�m the type to give endless chances, always have your back even when you are wrong, and truly accept you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn�t want you, I will. So if I gave up on you, understand it took everything I had left inside of me to leave you�because if I love you, and care about you, there

I feel so complete





I wish I could explain your eyes, and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies. How your smile makes my heart skip a beat and how every time I�m with you, I feel so complete.

He�s like nobody else in the world.





He�s like nobody else in the world. When I�m with him, it�s like I�m split in half. Part of me is on fire, going crazy if I�m not touching him.The other half is calm and peaceful just perfectly content, knowing he is the one for me.

Fairytales Aren�t Perfect Either






What if Cinderella had an attitude problem and Snow White liked cider too much? What if Ariel enjoyed human company more than her own kind�s and Aurora just liked her solitude more than the human touch? What if the only rabbit hole Alice ever fell down involved a pipe and a substance not discussed as such? What if they locked Wendy up for hallucinating about Neverland and a boy who never

She�s a keeper,






If a girl understands your bullshit, sticks around through all your mistakes, and smiles even though you�ve done nothing for her, then it�s obvious she�s a keeper, but it�s also obvious you don�t deserve her.

I�m going to love you.







I�m going to love you.

I�m going to love you in your weakest moments to your strongest ones. I�m going to love you when you�re happy and I�m going to still love you the most when you�re sad. Don�t you understand? I�m here, and I�m not going anywhere. I want to love you, each and every piece of you. I want you with your imperfections as much as I want you for you. And I�m always going to

Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don�t quit.� Conrad Hilton







Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

When you truly love someone..





When you love someone, when you truly love someone, that person becomes part of you, they become your life, your everything. They change you and they inspire you in so many different ways that are indescribable. How do you let go of someone who has made such an impact on your life? How do you let go of the only thing that keeps you going, keeps you smiling? Loving someone with all you have is

It takes someone special to love a person who�s broken




It takes someone special to love a person who�s broken; someone who�s willing to look past all the cracks and fault lines to see the person the fragments form in their entirety� It takes someone with patience and a gentle spirit� someone who realizes that broken people may appear sharp and hostile, but are in fact fragile and need to be treated with care�


But most of all, it takes someone

I have no problem with those who don't like me, but I have a problem with those who pretend to.

So, do it. Decide.

I�m not into halfway effort, part-time love, or unavailable people.





I�m not into halfway effort, part-time love, or unavailable people. If you�re not ready, work on yourself. The type of love and passion I have cannot be wasted on a person who does not see the value in me.

Find One Hundred Ways


I have always loved Quincy Jones' song (sung by James Ingram), One Hundred Ways.  The lyrics stole my heart years ago because, by God, they are true.  If it's violins she loves...well, let them play. Send her roses...just because.  And even better:  in your arms, she will reflect...she owes you the sweetest of debts...yes, let her repay.  Find one hundred ways!

But the lyrics go far beyond romance and reciprocity.  What about living a One Hundred Ways kind of life?

Recently, on a night I had a party to attend, the weather suddenly turned.  By late afternoon,  a sparkling summer day had become dark and chilly.  Rain was not in the forecast but I no longer felt like partying.  So I downplayed it by wearing a boring but comfortable dress, minimal makeup and I regrettably ate too much lunch, even though I knew it would spoil my appetite at the party.  "I'll just put in a appearance and head back home to my bed and watch Netflix", I said to myself.  And then wouldn't you know it -  the party was wonderful and festive and fun.  Our hosts moved the enchanting dinner table from the lawn to the covered porch which was decorated with pots of trailing ivy and bright begonias.  They pulled out all the stops - they found one hundred ways.

Some people naturally live this way.  One sees it in the nurse at the doctor's office who has complete pride in her job.  Her efficiency and manner offer a sense of order and reassurance.  It's the friend who makes your visits special by serving you a delectable warm treat from the oven to go with your mug of tea.  Even when she's dead tired from being sandwiched between needy children and elderly parents.  It's the co-worker with a serious illness, who shows up at the office every day with another new fetching scarf wrapped around her head.  It's the comforting lunch you pack for a loved one that's filled with nourishing food, all attractively wrapped.  It's the elderly woman who still wears lipstick and dresses with care as she sets out on her daily round.

So if flowers are what you love, buy that bouquet for heaven's sake.  If you crave tomatoes, fill the kitchen. Simmer sauce, make tomato tarts, sandwiches, salads.  Ditto watermelon, lemons - whatever it is you're passionate about.  Immerse yourself.  Roll around in it.  Let's stop saving our perfumes, the "good" dishes, and anything tucked away for "best".   "Best" is now.  Use your things. Show them off.  Share them.  Multiply them.

Quincy Jones reminds us that if it's one more star we want, go all the way.  Life is short - shorter than we sometimes realize while in the midst of it.  So, show up.  Be present.  Dress the part.  Go big. Begin today.  Begin again tomorrow.  Do it as long as you possibly can.  Find one hundred ways.

Find One Hundred Ways

Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because

If it's violins she loves let them play

Dedicate her fav'right song and hold

Her closer all night long

Love her today

Find one hundred ways

Don't forget there could be

An old lover in her memory

If you need her so much more

Why don't you say

Maybe she has it in her mind

That she's just wasting her time

Ask her to stay

Find one hundred ways

Bein' cool won't help you keep a love warm

You'll just blow your chance

Take the time to open up your heart

That's the secret of romance

Sacrifice if you care

Buy her some moonlight to wear

If there's one more star she wants

Go all the way

In your arms tonight

She'll reflect that she owes you

The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay

Find one hundred ways

In your arms tonight

She'll reflect that she owes you

The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay

Find one hundred ways

Ya gotta believe it whoa

Love her today

Find one hundred ways




Note:  I will be on a special vacation - a journey - for a few weeks.  I'll be finding one hundred ways and I'll share when I return.
