Deepest Conviction

"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble." -Mahatma Gandhi

I need to come to realize this. I am the worst at saying yes when I am screaming, "NO!" inside. I really hate it. I need to stand firm in what I think and believe. Everyone else does. Why don't I?

Falling In Love At a Coffee Shop

Today is the first day of fall and I can't stop thinking about the song "Falling In Love At a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg. Something about the song just feels crisp and cool like fall. Or maybe it's because I discovered the song around this time last year. I don't know. Whatever it is, I am loving this song right now!


A video of the song.


Here's the lyrics:

I think that possibly
Maybe I've fallen for you
Yes there's a chance
That I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I wanna come too

I think that possibly
Maybe I've fallen for you

No one understands me
Quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was
About the same coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly
Maybe I've fallen for you
Yes, there's a chance
That I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I'm shining too

Because, oh because
I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was
About the same coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

All of the while
All of the while, it was you

Too cute! :)

My windows...

:D

Life is good. I'm so thankful for my family and friends.

Today, Lauren and I met for lunch and had a good talk. Tonight, I got home and Courtney made me laugh. I have yet to hear Kayla's story about Tom Joles' black eye. Or about Cory's website adventures. But I'm sure they are great.

It's starting to cool down here. I love it. I drove around with my windows down today and it wasn't even hot. Fall, here we come! I even bought a pumpkin scented fragrance for the apartment today. I'm so excited!

I am looking for someone to dress up like a Clown and hang out with me. I would cook you diner – or we could BBQ something. I’m interested in making my neighbor lady wonder. I have already had a man in a panda costume last month – and also had a heard of sheep come in for the day to cut the grass. (sheep do a good job by the way). A clown would be something.
Maybe you could bring some balloons – or make balloon animals to hang in my tree. I’d like to have this done some evening between 6pm and dark. The longer you can stay the better (like if you could stay for the whole 3 hours). Do you have any tricks you could do?
Like I said – I could cook diner and get you drunk – I’d even be willing to pay your cab fare to and from. I don’t have much to offer – and my neighbor lady is driving me nuts – so I want to drive her nuts. If you had a Mime friend – it would be cool to see you two chase each other around the yard or do relay races while I time you.
Let me know your thoughts – open to Men and Women Clowns.

 Hahaha! Enjoy!

Radiate Love

No matter how I am feeling...
I think this is a good summary of how to live life.
Even if I didn't believe in myself, believe in others, believe in God... I'd still think these were honorable things to do.
Even if I don't live my life with love, I still think to love others is the best thing anyone can do.
This quote makes hope well up inside of me.
It makes me feel okay with the world.
That some people are trying their best to make the world a better place.
It really gives me hope.
That everything will be okay.
:)
