YOU ARE YOU

Made it through a week and now it's Saturday.  Here I am waiting for the snow.  Just came back from walking my furry friend.  It is COLD out there.  Just beginning to feel  my fingers but even so, what a beautiful morning it is.  Quite other than the leaves blowing, and the trees swaying.  I love that sound, like a wooden door opening and closing.  I'm really a beach girl but I love these days too.  The days when you can feel the snow about to arrive and all you have to do is wonder about dinner as you sit and sip your coffee.  How are you going to spend your day?  Snuggling up to a fire?  Shopping?  Watching movies?  What is your style on a day like today?  Here is my quote for today,"If your style is big and bold don't make it mousy and shy for someone else - be who you are."  All too often we conform to who we think people want us to be because we "think" we should.  Why?  Where did that come from.  I will tell you.  Insecurity.  The thought that people won't like us or respect us if we show them who we really are.  Well to that I say, STOP!  Be yourself always.  If someone does not like you because of your opinions or manner of dress then why do you want to be their friend anyway?  Of course I am not saying go on a job interview in a mini skirt and heels but in life if that is who you are then go for it!  Be proud of yourself!  It took a long time to get there.  We are always evolving and of course you should keep evolving but essentially  your style should always reflect who you are and so be bold, be shocking, be amazing and mostly be proud of who you are.  If you are not accepted for your true self - find those who accept wonderful, amazing you!  Have a fantastic Saturday everyone! ~Love, Amy
