earlier today I found a pretty neat frame at the thrift store ($1.61). I was happy to find it because I've been meaning to buy one for awhile and never got around to it. heres why I wanted it... I have a small chalkboard wall in my room that I use pretty frequently. I usually end up writing things on it that I don't want to forget or things I need to buy, etc. sometimes I write a few motivational words to myself to reinforce positive thinking ;) anyway, I thought it would be a fun idea to frame those wise words as a simple way of making them seem even more meaningful.

the phrase I came up with today is "SET GOALS". it is SO important for us to set goals for ourselves. it gives us something to work towards and we should always be working towards something. recently I accomplished a goal that I set for myself and it feels great! every so often I will write a few words on my board, something significant to my current life happenings and post it here on the blog. I think this will be a fun thing to do.

 

my day.

my birthday was an extra special one because of this girl right here. tina. my 5 years younger little sister. she took it upon her self to travel the 376 miles to come home and surprise me for my birthday. although I was a bit suspicious as the events unfolded, in the end I was surprised. tina and I have always been very close. being the second and fourth born in the family we each played very different roles growing up, but I see things slowly starting to change as the years go by. this weekend she didn't play the role of a younger sister, she played the role of my sister and my friend. that is what I needed and that is what she did. celebrating birthdays just 8 days apart we are both quintessential geminis. kids at heart and forever restless we always have a good time. a day at the beach full of laughs and a bouquet of beautiful flowers are just two of the many things that made me smile this weekend. and that is just what I needed. to smile. I am so in love with my little sister.

birth day.

my name is jennifer and today I am 26. after being greatly inspired by the stories of others I have decided to share mine. little by little day by day. my hope for this blog is that I will be able to share and document my love and passion for all that fills my life. although I am now 26 years in, this feels like the beginning. I have a feeling the best is yet to come.
