6. I love tattoos
7. Being an adult, I understand, appreciate and love my parental units more than I ever have
8. I don’t take things at face value
9. I think organized religion is a scam. There is no such thing as God in a box or Jesus in a building!

15. I love when people play with my hair
16. I try to learn something new every day
17. I love Yelp
18. Clothes fresh from the dyer on cold winter mornings make that day so much better.
19. I miss my grandfather every day
20. I want to make the people I love feel even more special on their birthdays
21. I am working to get the “stuff” out of here and live minimally. I think that my family will be much happier that way… and a lot less to clean!

23. Trusting someone is very hard for me.
24. I am what a cool mom looks like.

28. I keep secrets.
29. My biggest fear in life is failing as a mother.
30. I got a new tattoo ~ more to come.
31. I love making memories.
32. I do not like talking about emotions. I prefer to place them in neat, little black boxes and put them far, far away.
33. I have a warehouse full of these black boxes and someday I will open them up and talk about feelings.
34. Today is not that day.
35. I want to win the lottery, but I keep forgetting to buy lottery tickets.
36. Everything I ever did was exactly what I thought I wanted at that moment.
37. I am so excited that Marcella is finally here.
38. I love being out on my Daddy’s land; time with family and sitting under the stars out in the country is soothing to my soul.
39. Being a part of DanaCarol’s wedding made my heart smile; I adore them. 40. I am working very hard to let light in and to be loved. Reminders will be posted to help me.
41. Nothing brings me more peace than the smells, sounds and feelings of the ocean and having my tribe there with me.
42. I procrastinate many things way too much.
43. That crap is coming to an end.
44. I am a free spirit with a caged heart.
45. Always kiss me goodnight.
46. I really think I am finally in a place in my life where I might settle down and make it work.
47. If you can't honor your word, I'll never trust you and won't want or need you around.
48. I truly value the people I allow close to me, and weed out the ones who can't seem to value me.
49. Last summer was freakin amazing.

51. Being held by someone you adore is a totally wonderful feeling.
