| My strong Irish roots mean I am stubborn and love to laugh. I always take my grandmothers advice. I love blueberries, beards, bald heads, getting lost, getting found, muddy happy dogs, photography, traveling, making stuff, growing things, crushes, recycling, waterfalls, the coast (oh yea - the coast!) I believe in the universe and doing nice things. |
one Go where the wind blows you! Take it from me, a mountain loving
(think green and lush) Oregon girl who let the wind blow her all the way to flat
(think hot and dry) Kansas! You can’t make these sorts of dreams up. Oh the places you’ll go! Take the road less traveled, wait scratch that … take the road you would have never
dreamed of traveling, plan on meeting many
wonderful people along the way, and have fun when you least expect to.
two Find your joy and pursue it relentlessly. Do this daily! The endless list of annoying
to-do's can wait- It
WILL be there tomorrow. Your joys can be big or
small, simple or complicated, quiet or loud … whatever you want; they are all yours! Love them and they will love you back. Nothing will provide you with more pleasure or help you skirt through the rough patches in life more than this one thing. When it finds you, embrace the gift fully and thank it for showing up. You may lose it sometimes, that’s okay -
it’s not really lost - it’s there,
right there…yep, you got it!
three Consider the worst when faced with an unkind person.
Huh, wait, what? I know, it sounds crazy,
right?! When your path crosses their path, always assume that this must be the
worst day of their lives. Dramatic,
perhaps; but maybe,
just maybe they just lost a loved one, maybe their dog died, or maybe they live with someone who is mean to them. Its tough stuff to think about, but life is messy and some people really suffer. You just never know. Consider the worst, smile, and be double
(or triple) kind. Oh, I almost forgot the most important part: Do
NOT take it personally,
absolutely never take it personally.
