About Me

I'm a habitual line crosser that believes everything happens for a reason, but life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances, you just have to live life to the fullest. Laugh as much as you can, spend all your money, tell someone what they mean to you, tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, love the ones who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, pig out, smile until your face hurts, be a flirt, stay up late and fall asleep watching the sun come up, don't be aftraid to take chances or fall in love . . . and most of all live in the moment, If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. No one said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

True Friends . . .

are people who:
 - drive an hour to have dinner with you
 - who make you feel as though there is nothing they would like better than to spend time with you
- make you feel important and good about yourself
- bring out the best in you and make you want to be a better person
- like you for your strong points and accept you for your weak points
- you can have good conversation with
- who respect you and value your friendship
- you can go long periods of time without speaking and then pick right back up where you left off
- will take you on your birthday to get birthday cake and hot chocolate coffee even though the weather is horrible outside
- remind you when things are tough, that you have every right to feel the way you do, and remind you that "you will get through this"
- will get drunk with you, and when someone tells you, that you're being too loud, they tell that person "oh relax"
- has your back on the good days and the bad
- knows when to be the good cop and when to be the bad cop
- lets you know when you're being too hard on yourself
- Goes with you to see Mama Mia even though she hates ABBA
- Is there for you even when they're busy, or sick or have family in town or just plain tired
- knows when to be there for you and when to give you your space
- reminds you on bad days that you're "brilliant" 

This past year has been a very challenging year, full of lots of changes.  The silver lining in all of this, is that I have been fortunate to be shown time and time again, how lucky I am to have such dedicated, intelligent, beautiful, funny friends that work hard and play hard.  I have been so blessed to have these people in my life, who remind me to not take life too seriously.
