Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?

Ever morning, until you dead in the ground, you gone have to make this decision. You gone have to ask yourself, "Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?"

I am halfway through Kathryn Stockett's, The Help.  I found this quote in the beginning and it resonated with me. And if you haven't had a chance to pick this book up, I recommend it.  It took me several chapters to really get into this book. . . but I'm finding myself getting excited reading before I go to sleep, and staying up late to read just a little more. . . Can't wait to see how the movie portrays it too...

Anyone have any good reads lately? After this I am borrowing Same Kind of Different As Me from a colleague, but I'm always in the Market for a good read. Xx,

The Path is not Straight. . . .

I found this magnet in the airport and wanted to share.  I love it:) 

I'm off to lunch on a patio....I'm glad my one day in town will be spent under the sun. Then I'm on a hunt to find a cute luggage tote. A lady on my last flight had the most adorable Jon Hart luggage tote, but there aren't any left in the off white color I want. If any of you ladies have recommendation PLEASE share.  I need a tote that can carry my work lap top inside and purse.

Xx,

when all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit . . . i must remember there'll be days like this.

Delicious Ambiguity.

I've been in a really amazing mood these past few weeks.  As I walked into work the other morning and greeted everyone, I realized I was that annoying good morning girl way too early!  Maybe it's that spring is sneaking it's warmth in on me on random mornings.  Or the sunshine beaming through my window at work.  Maybe it's the fact that I'm so busy at work. I love being busy {I complain about it, but secretly, i love it}  And feeling needed.  Maybe it's the fact that my friends are hilarious and make me laugh constantly.  Maybe it's my parents that are constantly supporting me in my decisions about my future.  I used to get so caught up in the future that I got lost in the present.  the more I learn about life, the more I learn, you're always going to challenged by something.  And that's the way it should be. my friend Jess posted this the other day: 

"To do life right, you have to feel like you are growing up until the day you die."  

I believe this is SO true. Then I found this quote: 

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”

I think I used to just get too intangled into what's next. And lately I've been living for the now.  And I think I'm going to keep it that way.

What are quotes that you live by? I love finding new little pieces of inspiration!! Hope you all are enjoying these brisk almost spring days as much as me! 

Xx,
