Skipping town for part of the day

I woke up SUPER tired this morning. My daughter was giving me a hard time because she didnt want to wear a pair of shoes that are brand new (she picked them out and they are going to become too small soon). I am sure my tiredness made me a bit more irritable. We finally got that settled and then it was on to her hair and all I heard was a bunch of winning "ow, Waah, that hurts....". I was barely brushing her hair! Maybe she was a bit grumpy and tired too. I finally got everything done to send her on her way to school.

So yes, I am skipping town for the day. Well, I do have to come back at some point.... One of my best friends is getting married tomorrow, so we are heading to her parents lake house to do some wedding prep for her big day tomorrow! Love being on the water and even more, helping with a celebration! I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend!!

A Late Inspiration

I have been posting some of the inspiration Monday quotes on my facebook page. Thought I would share here :-)

I have always love Maya Angelou! She was one bright cookie, that had the best words for everything. There was so much life, truth and beauty in her poems! I chose this one because I know many people struggle with the definition of success.

There is so much in society that tries to mold us to think that we have to something a certain way in order for us to be successful. Or if we don't do something like someone else that has done something similar, then our way is wrong. Totally not true. When we follow those myths, we end up on a road of feeling like a failure, feeling like we are not good enough, and like we will never rise to the top one day.  We need to become happy with the way we do things and believe that we are different and we are unique so we should like how we do things. Embrace the beauty and the uniqueness that is YOU! Love WHO you are and let your light shine bright. Who cares what anyone else thinks. If you are seeking advice or critiquing, that is one thing, but be true to yourself and love how you do things. It frees you to be who you were created to be!

So lately written,
