THIS! THIS! THIS!

This. This is what I do, this is how I teach, practicing these things makes everything else gravy. And if you want a more thorough read along these lines, I highly recommend: NurtureShock by Po Bronson, Ashley Merryman.

I highly recommend this article on how to raise happy kids.

Best Ever

 
Jimmy Eat World has been one of my favorite bands since high school.  One song in particular has gotten me through the toughest days, "The Middle."  Seeing them in concert was a dream come true.  I can't believe that I almost missed them being in Reno!  Thank goodness for Facebook notifying me through an advertisement.  Never thought I'd be so thankful for an ad in my life!!  Jimmy Eat World is the only band on my bucket list, and this year my goal is to finally start having goals, to finally have dreams, to finally achieve life and live it to it's fullest extent.  I will no longer be a passenger in my journey, I'm in the driver seat and will determine my path.

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)."

Skin

 






Mission comfortable in own skin. Close up, no make up. Though still not brave enough to not hide my skin disease. I'll get there.

Work Love (FC)

Telling the families that I work with about my last day coming around the corner has been emotional. So I sought out good ol' comfort food from Panda. The fortune, I feel, suits how I predict my future to be as well.
