Things I've Learned

-Live deliberately

-Do what scares you.

-The things you run from never leave you. You can only escape them by facing them head-on.

-Don't accept people in your life who don't love you for who you are.   Period.

-Let love in - no matter how much you have been hurt.

-Show no interest in 'keeping up appearances' or  in what other people think is 'appropriate'.

-Be true to yourself, even if that means losing false friends along the way.

-Blood does not dictate who your family is. Kinship is not automatically acquired by fluke or virtue of birth.

-No one gets to dictate to you who makes up your family.

-People who you consider part of your family should have illustrated succinctly:

1) Who they truly are
2)That they love you for you and;
3)That they have your back, just as you have theirs.
4) Accept nothing less than this.

-Trust your gut instinct.

-When everything seems impossible, just keep swimming.

-The world is richer with you in it.
