I just made a pretty emotional "Make a Difference" vlog about Teenage Suicide, but my internet in the bus is dragging tonight and it still hasn't made it past 1% uploaded yet so I guess I will be sharing that with you guys tomorrow.
I have not seen the show Thirteen Reasons Why yet...I honestly don't think I can handle watching it, but I do applaud Selena Gomez for producing it because whether people love or hate it--it is making people open up and talk about this epidemic.
I have shared it before, but I don't think it can be overshared, here is the suicide hotline incase you are in a place in life where you might need it or know someone that might need it:
1-800-273-8255
Please remember that you are never alone, and that you are very loved and important to someone... even if that someone is just me. I am always here for any of you to reach out to.
Today was a pretty good day.
I ordered all my wax and wicks and scents and it looks like everything will be shipped here Thursday sometime. So I should have everything ready for market this weekend!
I am working on revamping my school bus angels too. I think I am going to add inspiration quotes on them somehow and take the flower vases off. One fell over at the last market and broke and I don't want that happening to anyone else.
It is always nice to have a project to work on. Being busy keeps me somewhat sane lol.
Alright, before I go to bed I want to share one more quote from the book I finished reading with you guys:
"Was it nonsense to step outside the lines of a usual life? To be honest, we really didn't have a choice. It was a gift from the world, in retrospect, and we could not stamp RETURN TO SENDER. We realize that love is the most stable, reliable, and trustworthy condition in the universe. When nothing else lasts, when nothing else is true, there is love.
We thank our lucky stars every day that the world kicked us off the predictable path and into a life we love. And we found the courage not to wait on the world to give us this gift again. We can choose to step out of the usual and into the unusual at any point in time. You know which we prefer. In fact, the more comfortable and rewarding we found the unusual path, the more determined we became to wander across new boundaries and follow new dreams.
It makes us sad to see so many wonderful people secretly feeling that they have failed when the sensible, usual path through life just doesn't work out-- when they get knocked off it, just as we did. We struggled early in our life together to see that being pushed off the plodding path of a usual life did not mean that we had lost the trail. In fact, that's when our journey actually began--when we found OUR new trail.
For us, living what we love was not a plan--it was a transformative experience that revealed itself to us. We just gave over to it--anybody can."
Hope you guys are having an amazing night and living a life you love!
Good night.
Please keep praying for our world. Pray for our country. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always alway pray for my sweet Elijah.
Thank you.
Could you be any cuter?
I don't think it is possible.
I love and miss you so much.
Always.
