Shine On

I really am a bat-shiz crazy diamond.

And, I am shining on until that diamond can't shine no more.

Last night, I went to get my finger nails painted at my favorite place.

Those are my people, I tell ya!

Hugs every time.

Smiles every time.

Refusing to let me pay every time.

Sitting me in the massage chair for no good reason, other than to force me to relax and be spoiled for a minute every time.

It was just what I needed to shine on for the rest of the night.

Sometimes I wake up ready to be a dang warrior.

A bat-shiz crazy warrior.

Ready to conquer everything and everyone in my path.

I feel the energy that I need to get through my nine hour work day, then work some more after that, then workout, then make meals, then clean, then meditate, then whatever else I need to do.

And sometimes I wake up, longing for a Diet Coke and a quiet day.

And realizing that both are normal and okay and perfectly amazing is making me shine brighter!

This morning, I went in to ask Kaydon for fashion advice.

Is that not the coolest?
I have always gone to my boys to ask if I look okay.

They are very honest with me.

Before he left, he came into my room.

Looked at my outfit again.

And told me to roll my pants up.

Then left.

And, I surely did do that!

My thoughts on my next tattoo...

In small, dainty letters just underneath my existing tattoo, which is the Tibetan symbol for "Believe."

We'll see.

But regardless, I still rise.

Every single day.
