Shine in All Your Glory
YOU’RE JUST TOO MUCH If I had a dollar for every time I heard that…. I’d own an island. “You’re just too much.” “Do you even know what you want?” “How can you expect that?” “Why do you need more than what you have right now?” I was told these things most of my life. I...
A Real Date
I was 24 before I was ever taken on a real date. Like the guy had it planned, picked me up at my house and took me out sort of date. Yep, 24. I had my first "official" boyfriend when I was 16, so that's almost 10 years before meeting someone who was actually a...
Remember…
Just remember... how you do one thing is how you do ALL things. Pay attention. Don't be a lazy ass. In ANY areas of your life. Be present. Do the work. Yes, even when you don't feel like it. Call your mom. Say please and thank you. Smile. Put the dishes away. Take out...
Live for the Weekend?
I was standing at the fair last night and couldn’t help but overhear a conversation that two women were having about how bad it sucked that they had to go to work the next day. Yes, I also was tired and the thought of waking up at 6 am the next morning didn’t sound...
My Tattoo
I was worried all day. I planned as much as I could because I thought that might help. It didn’t. I puke all of my guts up in the car before we even go in. I was going to pass out. I knew it. I was nervous. I know what my body does when the adrenaline starts pumping...
Love in All Its Forms
Once upon a time a little girl named Kathy walked down the street with her sister, she pointed out a house she really loved and said, "One day, I’m going to marry the boy that lives there". Several years later she met that boy on the school bus and the rest is...
Going Through Some Shit
Real talk. I’ve been going through some shit lately. Before you get all “Oh my gosh Jamie, WHAT’S WRONG”; please let me explain, nothing is wrong. When I say, ‘going through some shit’, yes, I mean some not so easy realizations and decisions, which have led to lots of...
Love You Forever
Basically, when I love you once, a part of me loves you forever. It’s like a piece of my heart has a string that’s attached to yours. No matter where you go or what you’re doing, it’s attached. I used to think this was weird or wrong, like I was “hanging on to things”...
Own What’s Attractive to You
OWN WHAT’S ATTRACTIVE TO YOU AND DON’T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. Real talk: I have no space for people who don’t follow through. Like... I just can’t. I don’t understand the concept or how there are so many people who just don’t do things and are just totally okay with it,...
The Work Comes First
THE WORK COMES FIRST. Yes, you have freedom. Yes, you have balance. Yes, you run your own business, Yippee! But you guys… you don’t get to go enjoy them if you’re NOT DOING THE WORK, not if you want to keep them at least. The work must come first. I’m not saying it’s...
from me to you
I started writing these pages long before I knew what my life really could be. Maybe I’ve written it into existence, maybe I haven’t…either way this is a collection of my life. All of the stages and everything along the way. Thank you for following along.
