“Only hang around people that are positive and
make you feel good.  Anybody who doesn’t make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better… The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know,  either beat it or tell them to beat it…” – Amy Poehler

“I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen…”  – Conan O’Brien

“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you…”

“Pack light.”

–  Erykah Badu

‘Heard this song today and it was a definite throwback to the year 2000!  I was almost done with college then – and truthfully, I was in a fog and in dire need of some clarity. It’s hard to believe that was 12 years ago!

When I listen to this song, I’m just reminded that we all have “bags” we tend to carry over time – whether it be the side effects of a bad relationship, the unworthy feeling from a craptastic job or just plain ol’ rejection,  after a while, carrying the weight of these bags can be quite cumbersome!  Before you know it, you’ll be crowding your own space with that heavy baggage.

LOVE this song and the video is so colorful and fun!  Its message still resonates with me…

Enjoy!

Bag Lady

Erykah Badu

Bag lady you gon’ hurt your back
Dragging all them bags like that
I guess nobody ever told you
All you must hold on to
Is you…

One day all them bags gon’ get in your way…
One day all them bags gon’ get in your way…

One day all them bags gon’ get in your way…

So…pack light…

Bag lady you gon’ miss your bus
You can’t hurry up
‘Cause you got too much stuff
When they see you comin’
They take off runnin’
From you…it’s true…oh yes they do

One day he gon’ say you crowdin’ my space
One day he gon’ say you crowdin’ my space
I said one day he gon’ say you crowdin’ my space
One day he gon’ say you crowdin’ my space

So pack light…

Girl I know sometimes it’s hard
And we can’t let go
When someone hurts you oh so bad inside
You can’t deny it you can’t stop crying
So…

If you start breathin’
Then you won’t believe it
You’ll feel so much better
So much better baby…

Bag lady
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

I betcha love can make it better…

The Age of Worry

The Age of Worry

John Mayer

Close your eyes and calm yourself
Build your heart an army
To defend your innocence
While you do everything wrong

Don’t be scared to walk alone
Don’t be scared to like it
There’s no time that you must be home
So sleep where your darkness falls

Alive in the age of worry
Smile in the age of worry
Go wild in the age of worry
And sing Worry, why should I care?

No you fight is not within
Yours is with your timing
Dream your dreams but don’t pretend
Be friends with what you are
Give your heart then change your mind
You’re allowed to (throw) it
Cause God knows it’s been done to you
And somehow you got through it

Alive in the age of worry
Rage in the age of worry
Sing out in the age of worry
And sing, Worry, why should I care?

Rage in the age of worry
Act your age in the age of worry
And sing, Worry, get out of here…

Note to Self: Think Different…

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.  The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore.  They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?  While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius… 

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

– Apple, Think Different

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment,
and I told them they didn’t understand life…”
– John Lennon

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

– Steve Jobs
