The older you get, the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?
You can be a warrior and be full of grace and class.
I once took a poo in the woods while hunched over like an animal. It was AWESOME.
Be Aunthentic. Be yourself. And most important of all... make it personal.
Love is the one uniting, relatable thing in everyone’s life. It’s what we all want and struggle with and fight for.
And this filmmaker has the most extraordinary epiphany! He realizes that there is as much merit in trying to ease people’s suffering for a moment as there is in “focusing” on it. To ease someone’s pain through a distracting, silly, joyous laugh is his lesson. I know there is suffering, so to escape it for a second is truly powerful. That is one church I am staying loyal to. The Church of Laughing.
We may not be able to do them all, but it is a safe place to dream. And sometimes, if you really work hard enough, dreams come true.
We work long hours, but we are laughing most of the time, and that’s where my other valuable lesson came from: to feel blessed and recognize that working with people you like will make you want to work more! Everyone wears many hats and we all like to do many different things at our company. We all dream stuff up, but more important, we find ways to make it a reality.
A stable, loving family is something that should absolutely, fundamentally never be taken for granted! I am lucky that I got dealt some cards that showed me what it’s like to not have family, and I am much luckier to now have the chance to create my own deck!
This dramatic, hearty flower with its deep maroon made me so happy. I was so in love with its color, and it taught me that beauty could live in a seedy area. Not only live but also be strong!
I feel like I was born the day my kids were and that my life before was only there to gain wisdom for them. The point is you do your best. Your very best every day. You do it and you do it for them!
And we were making a film I truly believed in, and the message of the film is “How do you make love stay?” Because it doesn’t matter if someone has a memory or not, you have to reinvent love every day.
You know, being single is great! I don’t know why we treat it like some disease we are trying to cure with a remedy of ‘where is he’. I like being alone.
People ask me, what are you going to tell your daughters about some parts of your life? I don’t want to have to lie, but I am much more invested in telling them how I found my values.
And in this new place in my life- I was sleeping alone for over a year, finding the middle of the bed, and really working on myself- I started to become worried about meeting someone because I was really feeling different than I had ever felt in my life. So strong, and I didn’t want anyone to take that away. Someone would have to be the human equivalent of addition and not subtraction. Period.
He is so wonderful. And he is door number one. And I know it. And he’s right here.
I am strong. I have learned. I love Love and have plenty to give. It is my powerful destiny that I am supposed to raise two good girls into two great women! All right. Here we go, my beautiful little girls. Here we go.
I was in a very free state in my life. This is something I struggle with as a mom because now that I have grown up, I couldn’t feel more passionate about being appropriate. Everything in my world is about being “appropriate.” People ask me, what are you going to tell your daughters about some parts of your life? I don’t want to have to lie, but I am much more invested in telling them how I found my values.
It was bold, but I have always been a “you only live once, so let your love show and takes risks” kind of person.
A stable, loving family is something that should absolutely, fundamentally never ever be taken for granted.
The house is chaos sometimes when the dogs are trying to eat the kids’ food or jumping into the tub with them. But it’s worth it. Life with dogs is better.
