From a true friend :)

Today I got a text from one of my best friends in the whole entire world ...

"I could never imagune what your life was like growing up but can only say how proud and happy I am for you.  Walking in your shoes must have felt like walking on hot coals with no soles on your feet.  As life turned you away, you found ways to get around up and over it!  It's been an adventure and a tremendous journey that is just the beginning of everything in front of you.  I don't have to tell you to take advantage because I know you'll break down doors following your dreams.  I love you and prayed for you every step of the way.  You are truly blessed."  - Robin

There are so many things that have happened in my life that I had to over come and I am sure there will be many more that will be set before me. Other then my little family who have been there for me through every step of the way along came this very special person who believed in me and saw something in me that no one else was able to see.  For almost more then 7 years he has been there for me through thick and thin, a role model, a life coach, a true definition of a friend.  Someone who has taught me that life is not about the money you make, but most importantly life is about the relationships you create and maintain with people.  Although I don't have a ton of friends, I have just enough true friends I can count on one hand and still have fingers left over.  He is one of them.

Robin, you mean so much to me, Alex and Andre.  You have never left us like so many other people have and we love you dearly.  We would do anything for you.  You are part of our family and want you to know that we don't adore anyone more then how much we adore you.  Thank you for being such a kind hearted loving person and we know that sometimes things may not be amazing right now and things might not always be perfect but it is because of your positive attitude and you're good karma that you are so blessed.  I only hope that one day I can be as optimistic and positive as you and Lord knows I definitely try.  You are the best friend anyone could ever have.  Thank you for everything. 

Love
Bea

Valentine's Day ...

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. - judy garland

I'd love to say that Valentine's Day is one of my favorite days but to me it is definitely over rated.  I believe that you should show the people you love and care about the way you feel everyday and not have to be reminded 1 day a year.  Life is too short, you can never say you love someone too many times or too often.  Love the people in your life and show them every single day because you never know what can happen in a blink of an eye. 

love you all

not just today

but everyday <3



No Excuses ...

“We have a tendency to look at things as they are, without seeing the wonderful opportunities that are available. It is really our choice, nobody else’s. Almost everything that happens to us, either good or bad, is a result of the decisions we make. It is popular to point a finger and blame everybody else for the situations we find ourselves in, but everybody has the opportunity to make the choices that govern their lives. We choose whether we are going to be happy or sad, believe or doubt, pray or curse, help or heal, work or loaf, succeed or fail.”
