"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
— Audrey Hepburn
No matter how you feel - Get up, Dress up, & Show up!
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.
“I never judge people about relationships. If you want to be with someone, be with them. If you don’t, don’t. You have to live your life.”
—Eva Longoria
To my mind, the people that really take risks are those people that stay in jobs they hate, and relationships that suck the life out of them.
My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue?
It rather denotes a lack of courage!
-Aunt Frances Owens
from the movie Practical Magic
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.“— Eleanor Roosevelt
So simple yet so true... "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." - Wayne Dyer
Everything will be OK in the end. If it isn't OK, it isn't the end.
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh”
"....and it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."
- Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz
Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect."~ Oren Arnold
"When I was 5 years old my mom always told that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assingment and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Ashley Smith
To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world."
~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933...Expand for more
), American president. Presidential message (December 25, 1927).
"One shoe can change your life" Cinderella
In each and every moment we are writing our story and it is only limited by what we dare to write!
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs
“Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner, and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through the newspaper determined to find certain job advertisements and, as a result, miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there, rather than just what they are looking for.”".
More about Melissa:"I believe my days are better lived with absolutely fabulous hair and great cowboy boots! There is just something that makes the day go better when you have good hair! And when you can find awesome boots on sale that is just the cherry on top! Showing horses growing up and into college was something I loved to do.
I have lots of great friends and a wonderful family. I am an only child and I wouldn't want to change it for anything. I love my pets and animals they have given me some of my best moments and brought out some of my worst, but they have taught me some things I would have never learned and I have gotten to go places I would have never gone without them and my family.
I love Christmas and Christmas vacation! I LOVE LIGHTS!! I would leave lights up year round...Well I do. I have a tree that I have left up the last two years white with teal blue lights. I also have a palm tree with pink lights that is up year round too! I would love to get a red Christmas tree and put silver lights on it. If there were silver lights! I am drawn to sparkly things!
I would rather go to a Chiefs games and yell than just about anything else...and then go to the casino! I am a big KU basketball fan.
I love to watch old James Bond movies, Sean Connery is my favorite Bond but I do like Roger Moore too. We love to watch the Holiday Bond marathons that you find on some of the TV stations, but I have all of the movies either on my DVR that I need to get off or on DVD.
I have a passion for baking, I especially like to do pies and sugar cookies. I am working on cheesecake. Trying to get it down! I someday would like to expand on this more than what I bake and sell now!
I love the Slatkin Vanilla Shortbread scented candle!! I would love to have it burning all the time. It smells so wonderful, makes everything seem so inviting. I used to love all the Yankee Candles but they just don't seem to put out near the fragrance they used too.
“I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.”
— Ron White
It's not your job to like me - it's mine. - Byron Katie
I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken. And the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn't brighten her own." ~Anonymous
