I got some terribly shocking, sad news today.
If there is one thing I wish people would realize, its that life is full of chances. Whether you are 18 or 89 tomorrow is always an opportunity to change the path your life is on.
… Where you wonder why your hair never looks good?
… Where you feel like time is passing you by and you have very little to show for it?
… When you feel like if the kid version of yourself met the adult version, they would be pretty disappointed?
… When you feel more useless than a fish [...]
If you have a sewing machine and a tree hugging inclination, I urge you to check out Goods for Girls, an organization that sends homemade cloth menstrual pads to girls in Africa who do not have access to menstrual supplies.

Unfortunately the tooth fairy was too far away to come last night (oops.) so she’ll be making an appearance tonight. “All I want for Easter is my two fronth teeth!”
