Friday, September 13: A self portrait

i am hard headed & a control freak. i am sarcastic & sometimes funny (i think…) i am a hopeless romantic & what sarah tucker describes as a celebrate-a-holic. i do not know how to slow down or smell the roses. i am terrible at making decisions. i am impulsive. i love to help people. i am loyal. i would give you the shirt off my back (but brian might protest if i was down to my bra). i love fiercely & believe that there is no other way to do it.  if i am in, i am all in. i spend entirely too much time worrying about the future. i am crazy in love with my husband. & my daughter. i would do anything to protect them. i am a book nerd. a lover of sports, craft beers, food, photography & fashion. i am happy, even though i let my insecurities get the better of me sometimes. i’m creative. i am thoughtful, in a world that is often ungracious. i hoard cards & notes from friends & family. i believe in saying i love you everyday. i truly pray that the world will become kinder & better, for my daughter’s sake. i hope my life will make a difference. to someone. somewhere. at some point.
