i love anne lamott

Not to toot my own horn, but i have to say that i have felt pretty inspired as of late( by that i mean yesterday and today). My emotions seem to move and change faster than the tide...

i really want to live outside of me. i get tired of me and my whiney complaints. There is a lot around for me to be inspired.

Really for the first time in my life i feel like i'm being challenged to grow, question my identity, and become this person that i am called to be. The more i talk of these ideas of things i want to do the more people around me will keep me accountable to my actions. i'm really good about talking about social justice and caring for the world around me, but the easiest and more selfish action is talking, and then not doing. Although it is so easy to get overwhelmed on where to start, so then easy for me nothing ever happens...

It's my goal to think deflect my thoughts on me and to find things that benefit the world outside me.



How much longer am I going to think about my hair more often than about things in the world that matter?
