Fashion Tips per Real Simple
Tips for the ladies
These are totally things My Mom would say...(Especially numbers 5,9, and 12!)
1. When you have a choice between wearing pants or a skirt, weigh your options and choose the skirt!
2. Wear socks that match your pants.
3. Wear shoes that are close in color to your pants, especially if you have big feet
4. Ignore size, go with what fits!
5. Just because it looks good on the hanger, doesn't mean it will look good on you
6. Never buy something on sale, you wouldn't buy at full price
7. When you don't have time for a shower, pearls and pony tails are the next best thing!
8. Buy quality, not quantity
9. Wearing all black should be reserved for funerals.
10. If you can't breathe in it, you probably shouldn't leave in it!
11. Always wear a good bra
12. Always wear a slip
13. Brown shoes, brown belt. Black shoes, black belt.
14. If you smile and make eye contact, no one will care what you're wearing.
15. People can tell a lot about you from your shoes
16. Always check your backside before you head out of the house.
17. It's better to be overdressed than underdressed.
18. Don't mix high end and low end pieces.

Risk
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and
dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and
dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing.
– William Arthur Ward (1921-1994)

Clarification
I really am OK. I'm just tired, weary more than tired. I'm at a place in my life where I'm completely comfortable but trying to figure out what's next. That seems to be the ever-asked question. I'm not planning on changing jobs for awhile but there are a lot of questions that I've got going through my head. And some things have changed lately and I'm just learning how to deal with those changes.
In reality, I have so much to be THANKFUL for:
In reality, I have so much to be THANKFUL for:

Ok, well that's all for now. Didn't mean to alarm anyone. Thanks for your thoughts. Prayers welcome as I go through a this time in my life... :)

Last Night
Today, I am thankful for last night and the wonderful people that I met! I met a wonderful group of people from All Souls Church in Knoxville. It is kind of funny because the way that I felt last night is the way that I felt after attending Downtown Pres. There is the most beautiful sense of community at All Souls. Last night was only the second time that I have been there but I really enjoyed the worship, the teaching, and the folks that I met. After church every Sunday they do dinner over at this girls house. It was so good to fellowship with other believers.
