Random Quote

The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it.

Women will never stop being hard on themselves. Even confident women (and I’m NOT one of those) stare in the mirror and analyze every line, curve and roll. I tell my pre-teen daughter not to be so hard on herself, and as a mom it’s gut-wrenching to watch her struggle while knowing you’ve always been there yourself. Just like she does, I open social media to see cuter, more-confident younger women with perfect smiles posed in strategic selfies and I revert back to that 13-year-old me with buckteeth, frizzy hair and zits. In those moments I wanna cry (or throat punch a bitch), but then I wonder, why do we do this to ourselves? Why can’t we just wake up, look in the mirror and say, “this is me, world, take it or leave it.” ... So, for the sake of my daughter who is beautiful in every possible way, today is my day to say, “here I am, world, at 46 years old, with no makeup, no glasses and nothing to hide.” ... Well, ok, I do have a few wrinkles I’m trying to hide with a filter because, after all, we never totally outgrow self-consciousness, but even if we fail, it doesn’t hurt to try. #momlife #raisingdaughters Boo has a new BFF, I call him Wilson (even though he’s a soccer ball). Wilson was just a lonely ball in the street until we took him in, and Boo was the last pup in his litter shipped up from a Texas kill shelter. They’re both pretty happy now. 😊 #booradley #adoptdontshop #dogsofinstagram I have a 7th grader!? ... How did that happen? When his favorite blanket becomes his favorite rag. #booradley #dogsofinstagram Yep, it’s another post of me and this book ... but I just received the first shipment with the permanent “winner” badge and hell yes I’m showing it off. I worked hard for that little bugger. #hofferaward #writerslife When Winslow sits on my to-do list it means no work today. 👍🏻 #lifewithcats
