"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." -Kate Moss
Who says that? Apparently Kate Moss does. That is just crazy talk, because I can think of a bazillion things that taste better than feeling skinny. :)

Newest Tattoo!!
Stars
(2) Nautical stars – stands for guidance and hope
(2) Black stars and (2) white stars – stands for reaching for the stars and how there are all different kinds of stars to reach.
Shield
“A protective device used to intercept attacks.” I will always be able to fend off attacks of any sort.
Claddagh ring
“With my two hands I give you my heart and crown it with my love.” A symbol that represents love, friendship, and loyalty.
“Let it be…”
A quote I like because I tend to focus on things that are pointless or moot so I need to just let it be.
“…Carpe Diem”
I need to learn to enjoy the moment. It is not just about seizing the moment, but also thoroughly enjoying the moment and immersing your self into it.
Dove
- The Bible, after the worldwide flood, a dove returned to Noah with an olive leaf. This was God’s symbol that there would never be such a flood again.
– In Chinese culture, it symbolizes longevity and peace in the next life (or stage of life)
– In legend, it was the only bird that demons and witches could not morph into.
Sweet Pea
“Thank you for a lovely time.” This is so I remember all of the goals I have accomplished and not just focus on the goals I have yet to accomplish.

Little life lesson...
Don't let the bad things in life infiltrate the good things in life, or make you let good things fall by the wayside.
Instead, focus on keeping the good things separate and sacred and learn to enjoy and nurture these positive things in life.
...Otherwise you will only end up with bad things. And no one wants that.

My Most Recent Tattoo...
My newest tattoo is a column of Chinese characters and it reads from top to bottom "Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder..." I got this tattoo because I truly believe that statement with all my heart. No matter how beautiful you are, there will be others out there who may be deemed more beautiful than you. Even if we try to deny it or think we are "beyond the superficiality", we all know that everyone struggles with their self-image... even the most beautiful and confident people in the world. I know that when I remind myself that beauty is subjective and it really just depends on who is looking at you, it definitely helps me overcome that struggle!

Some pretty awesome advice...
"Loneliness is an opportunity to be with yourself which is better for the soul. I wish I had more loneliness. Love it when you have it. It is a time to treat yourself nice without someone else's permission. Think outside the box. You are alright." -Dad (a self-made genius)

Lessons
FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a
towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob,
the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give
you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman
drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds,
Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and
goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,
'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?'
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to
credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position
to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing
her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After
controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun
said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest moved his hand. But,
changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once
again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry
sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed
heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest
rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up,
you will find glory.'
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might
miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to
lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes
out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first!
Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a
speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii ,
relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of
Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I
want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit
saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground
below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on
the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up.
Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and
found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of
the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the
second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly
perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who
shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't
keep you there..
Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying
there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird
lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy,
and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and
came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird
under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

The future...
You may not have anything to compare it to. You may not know what's out there. You may not know how it's supposed to be. But one thing you do know is what you want and need. You always know what you want and need, and if you are not getting it... make changes. Life is really what you make it.
