“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken.
Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it.
Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path.
Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look.
Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching.
March to the beat of your own drummer.
And stubbornly refuse to fit in.”
― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

” Vous apprendrez , en grandissant, que toutes les règles sont faites pour être brisées.
Ayez le courage de vivre la vie selon vos goûts , et jamais mais jamais, ne vous en excusez.
Aller à l’encontre des idees reçues
Refusez de vous conformer, prennez la route la moins connue au lieu des chemins bien battus .
Riez dans l’adversité , et n’hésitez pas à sautez avant de regarder .
Dansez comme si TOUT LE MONDE vous regardait .
Marchez a votre propre rythme.
Et refusez obstinément de vous intégrer » .
– Mandy Hale , The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

The good thing about being ourselves is that nobody can do it better than we can. Scary just the same. I find that my biggest critic, and biggest restraint is me. Which is wrong. And a work in progress.

Yes, I have been fighting this inner critic since I got back from France…Like you say Soosie …a work in progress indeed 🙂

I find myself, often, writing about the very things I try to do. I don’t always succeed, but in general, I feel a transformation in process. I suspect, in your own way, you do as well. So good to see your beautiful work and read your insightful words as well. Hugs sweet friend 🙂
