Royally Obsessed

Well, I was already obsessed with Kate Middleton from all the hype leading up to the royal wedding, but after waking up at 6am this morning to watch her gracefully walk down the long aisle at Westminster Abbey I am totally and completely even more in love with everything about her.

20 Things I’ve Learned in 20 Years


  1. Make your weaknesses your strengths.
  2. Pleasing people to gain acceptance is not worth your time. 
  3. The “right now” moment might be awesome but realize it could really screw up the future.
  4. Jumping on every bandwagon there is does not make you special. 
  5. Competing against yourself will make you a stronger person and avoid conflicts and tension with friends.
  6. Agreeing to something when not 100% sure you can do it is RUDE and will piss people off (especially me). 
  7. There are three things you need everyday: “me” time, a solid/genuine conversation, and a workout. 
  8. Be aware of your surroundings. And, I don’t know… maybe adjust to them? 
  9. Red Bull does not give you wings; put some vodka in it and you might beg to differ.
  10. If you suck at something, practice.
  11. If you lie, you will get caught. Oh, and exaggerating is lying. 
  12. A bad day is not the end of the world. 
  13. Going out only blurrs memories; thus all the “fun memories made” that one night you missed were only known thanks to digital cameras. It’s not a big deal. 
  14. Putting something off until tomorrow is like throwing it in the trash; it will never get done.
  15. Spending more time thinking/talking about what to do instead of actually doing something is a WASTE.
  16. Not everyone understands sarcasm.
  17. When settling for something (or someone) you’re just digging yourself deeper in an inescapable, abominable hole.
  18. Beating around the bush puts you three steps back from where you want to be. 
  19. Something interesting always happens on a Full Moon. 
  20. Tomorrow is a new day; but you still have to finish today.

25 days until I depart for Cape Town, South Africa. Getting Excited! Hoping to ride an elephant like this one.

Watch your thoughts….. they become words;
Watch your words….. they become actions;
Watch your actions….they become habits;
Watch your habits…..they become character.

Michael Jackson- Will You Be There (Boyce Avenue Cover)

Hold Me
Like The River Jordan
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend

Carry Me
Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Will You Be There?

Weary
Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Scold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?

But They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I’m Only Human

Everyone’s Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World’s
Got A Role For Me
I’m So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You’ll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me

LOVE these lyrics! And the acoustic/piano cover!
