A few important rules to teach your daughter(s):
• Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
• It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
• If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
• Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
• 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
• You are a woman, you do not need a man, but you can absolutely enjoy your life with a good one.
• Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
• Never walk through an alley alone.
• Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
• Can’t is a cop-out.
• Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
• If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
• Never lie to yourself.
• Your body, your rules.
• If you have an opinion, you better know why.
• Practice your passions.
• Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
• Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
• Stay as sweet as you are.
• Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
• Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
• Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
• Naps are for grown-ups, too.
• Question everything, except your own intuition.
• You have enough. You are enough.
• You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
• No matter where you are, you can always come home.
• Be happy and remember your roots.
• Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
• If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown. 👑.

I'M STILL YOUR MOM
When you no longer listen or care what I say.
I'm still your Mom.
When you decide I'm old fashioned and want to go your own way.
I'm still your Mom.
When you talk back, complain and argue.
I'm still your Mom.
When you move away and take a piece of my heart with you.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will love you still as much as the first day I held you in my arms.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will pray for you and make sure your wings are strong enough to soar.
I'm still your Mom.
And I'll want what's best and will sacrifice my plans for yours.
I'm still your Mom.
I'll always have room for you and a hug to welcome you.
I'm still your Mom.
And until my last breath, I'll keep carrying your love with me. And I will thank God every day for the privilege and Joy it's been to be called --- your mom

Went to a wake today of a long time friend and hair client of 25+ years. "Grandma Diane" at 97 years young.

The last of my weekly roller set clients...for now. Man did she have a lot of hair!

Being a stylist over 38 years I have gained some amazing humans as friends and she's just one of them.

Her passing is like loosing a mother you had going thru all yours and their life's ups, downs, celebratiions and just life in general.

At 97 Diane lived a full, adventurous and faithful life and I will always treasure our memories.

"On this night...19 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.

2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow.

343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.

60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.

8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives.

None of them saw past 10:00 aa.m. on Sept 11, 2001.

In one single moment, life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Never forget. 🇺🇸" by @marymcgorman
