Advice from a 3 year old

So my niece, Chloe, is a funny little girl. The things that kids say and do amaze me.
I don't know when she started saying this, but when she knew she was about to get in trouble
she would kind of put her hands up, look up at you, and say, "It'll be alright."


And for some reason, that cracks.me.up. 
It was like she was reassuring you that what 
she was doing wasn't so bad and that there are
worse things in the world that could happen.
And you know what? It is so true. Can I get an 
Amen?! 
When I start to get upset/stressed/angry/confused/or 
any other emotion/feeling that I don't like, 
I stop, breathe, and say, "It'll be alright."

So I've kind of taken this on as a life motto
(and I love that I learned it from a 3 year old!) 
Be my guest to take it as well!


The picture above is from Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, 
my hometown, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE nothing more
than to be on the lake, with my family AND/OR besties 
and be eating crawfish and drinking a cold beer. 
How ah-mazing does that sound? Pretty darn good, i know. 


I hope everyone has had a fantastic week so far and be sure to check out tomorrow's
post!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day , Mom! I wish I could come home and give you a big hug, but a shout out on my blog is good too, (right?)  I love and miss you.

 I told you guys yesterday I would post some more pictures 

of my day around D.C. The last picture I think is my favorite! 

Have a good weekend everybody and make sure to give your momma a hug 

and tell her how much you appreciate her! Moms are the best.

  Love you pam! 

America!

I love this quote so much & I hope to repeat it to myself everyday. 
Didn't need to repeat it to myself last night because I couldn't go to sleep till
⒋30. And I am not a night owl. 
I just had so many ideas/thoughts/ & just a little bit 
of ☕{coffee} in me to keep me stirring and to keep 
my brain from going in so many directions. 
and if you could have seen into my noggin' 
it may have looked a little like this.↑↕➠➳↗↘↟↪
                          
 But I did ask you to return today to see my D.C. adventures I had yesterday. 
"And how much fun was it?" you ask? It was awesome. I went to breakfast with 
a neighbor friend and he not only bought my 
breakfast [so sweet], he also bought me a 
spread that tastes just like Nutella.

but a whole lot healthier.


                        So after breakfast we walked through Eastern Market 
and we were going to visit a bookstore, but
it was closed. We said our goodbyes and I walked around
D.C. 
I had never been up close to the Washington Monument
so I wanted to take some pictures... but you will have to
wait till tomorrow for those. But look☟to see some photos
of the city. 

Fanciest water fountains I have ever seen! 
Come back tomorrow for more.

No, I have not been kidnapped or murdered, just unemployed.

The title really says it all. 
 I am  u  n  e  m  p  l  o  y  e  d  ya'll. And it really stinks. 

But I absolutely love D.C. 
I thought I was going to blog more when I got here 
but I've just been so busy! 
I cannot believe ❷ months have flown by {and two months of no blogging! }
May I add that meeting new people, eating good food, seeing/doing fun things, IS a lot of work.  :) 


But let me be clear that job hunting is hard work too.
Not that you didn't know that already,
But it has put a lot of things into perspective for me. 
I've always known that finding your 
dream career in a first job is a somewhat implausible 
fascination; however, 
(I hope I'm not the only one when I say this) 
I thought maybe, just MAYBE, it'll happen for me. 
I've realized that people really do want to help you 
and I'm truly grateful for every new face I meet & the
kind words that they say and help they give. I have an 
amazing opportunity right now and I don't want to regret
not giving it my all.  
So.....
Thoughts, prayers, positive energy, wisdom or anything else
 for me,my job search and my life's direction are extremely appreciated.


Come back tomorrow to see the adventures I went on today!
