My new quote to live by!

I still have one more post to write about the half but I had to share this first!

If I could shout this from the rooftops, I would! This quote goes with every single current event in my life right now. It was totally a God thing that I saw this!! WOW!

I am proclaiming this for myself and feel sad for those who don't understand it. This is me!!! This is Amanda. I will be a wife, a mother, a friend, a daughter. I will run, sing, bake, love and live with everything I've got. I constantly get ridiculed and criticised for being who I am but I think people just don't know how to let go and live out loud like I do. I beat myself up all the time over stupid stuff. I am God's child! I am His chosen daughter and I'm going to keep being who God created me to be!!! I am willing to travel the road.

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly know how far they can go."

T.S. Eliot


There are very few people in this world truly running the marathon of life.

I'm gonna run it and live it!

What a great philosophy to live life by. I unfortunately, too often opt for safe. I need to remember this quote:-)

I know I live way too cautiously.

Most of the time when people criticize you, it's probably due to feeling inferior. I know when I catch myself being harsh about someone, I realize I'm just trying to make myself feel better by bringing them down. I'm not proud to admit that, but only the truth sets us free. You are very pretty, have a great family, and a great relationship with God, etc. I guess, I can understand how that might intimidate other women. Not that it excuses it.

You encourage me to live better.

Thanks!
