mistake skills people
I've always felt that one of the mistakes people make is that they try to do something that is just slightly beyond their skill set, and then feel they've failed.

I don't think any day is worth living without thinking about what you're going to eat next at all times.
believe writing moments
You don't really have to believe what you write in a blog for more than the moment when you're writing it. You don't bring the same solemnity that you would bring to an actual essay.
dog children teenager
When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
inspirational motivational graduation
Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.
life inspiring encouraging
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.

It seemed to me that the desire to get married - which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again
