"Something you feel strongly about"
WOW! There are so many ways I could go with this! But today, I will go with this...
BE WHO YOU ARE AND DON'T APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE FOR IT!!!
One of the little girls in my class came in this week in sparkly silver wedge sandals. They certainly weren't practical, but she felt beautiful in them and they made her feel spectacular. She was working it and owning it in those things! A little while later, she approached me, sad and sheepish, telling me that a boy in my class had told her he didn't like her shoes. I looked at her, without a second thought, and said: "Does it matter what he thinks? Who cares if he likes your shoes or not? If they make you happy, who cares what he thinks?"
Now admittedly, I could've been more tactful. She didn't necessarily completely understand my point, but she didn't worry about it anymore. So this is my passion today... Own who you are. If sparkly, silver shoes make you feel good, wear them and own it. It's easy for me to say. I've always been unforgivingly bold. Take me baby, or leave me. No skin off my back.
On another note, it's been 10 months today since you left us. I spent some time at your place. I am going to get a reading soon and I am worried that expectation-reality = frustration. I'm just hoping against hope that you'll be there, but at the same time, trying not to think about it because if you aren't there, I know it may send me into a tailspin.
I love you, my friend.
