all the crazy in my dreams / both my broken wings / every single piece of everything i am / he knows the girl i ain’t / forgives me when i can’t / the devil, man, no he don’t stand a chance / ‘cause he loves me like Jesus does

“i thank God each night and twice on sundays” for you.  don’t know where i’d be now if you hadn’t walked into my life and rescued me.

“i am only as strong as the coffee i drink and the hairspray i use.”

saw this on the supply cart of a hairdresser in the beauty salon last week and fell in love with it.  

i’ve been drinking coffee since college and it’s probably not that strong but it’s still delicious and necessary to my consciousness almost every morning.

but the hairspray thing is new and i’ll tell you it’s pretty strong.  with a new job that focuses quite a bit on hair, makeup, and clothing, i’ve had some adjusting to do.  i’ve never been critiqued quite like that before so i was scrambling in my mind for some solid ground.  but it’s actually been, dare i say it, kind of fun coming out on the other side.  i’ve loved being evem more girly, getting in touch even more with that side of my personality - the very high maintenance, high volume, long-lashed, bright lip-sticked chick i know must’ve been in there all along.

i’ve decided all over again that being a girl is REALLY fun.  feeling beautiful or glamorous can be very liberating.

“You can look at a scar and see hurt, or you can look at a scar and see healing.”

— Sheri Reynolds

and you can surround yourself with people who see your scars as signs of a checkered past and bad places you’ve been, or you can surround yourself with people who see your scars as signs of triumphs and effort and work.
